Description
PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BUYING OR MAKING AN OFFER!
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL COPY WITH THE WARNER BROS. PROMO STAMP AFFIXED DIRECTLY TO THE COVER!
I'M GRADING THIS WHOLE PACKAGE AS EXCELLENT CONDITION. I DO NOT GRADE LPs AS EXCELLENT VERY OFTEN, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE NOT IN THE SHRINK, BUT THIS COPY HAS A FEW VERY MINOR FLAWS. I WOULD HAVE USED "CURATOR'S GLOVES", IF I HAD A PAIR.
THE COVER, VINYL & INNER SLEEVE ARE ALL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE NICEST PROMO COPIES I HAVE EVER SEEN!
I WAS VERY TEMPTED TO GRADE THIS PACKAGE AS NEAR MINT, BUT DECIDED AGAINST IT BECAUSE OF THE MINOR FLAWS.
PLEASE NOTE: MINOR FLAWS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1) THE VINYL HAS A VERY SLIGHT DISHING EFFECT THAT DOES NOT AFFECT PLAY.
2) VERY MINOR SHELF WEAR TO THE COVER, I.E. MINOR RING WEAR / FADING, SOFT CORNERS / CORNER DINGS / MINOR CREASES, ETC...
3) THE INNER SLEEVE HAS A NOTICEABLE RING WEAR and CRUMPLES TYPICAL WITH BEING IN STORAGE FOR MANY YEARS.
IF ANY OF THESE ISSUES ARE A CONCERN FOR YOU, PLEASE DON'T BUY IT.
PLEASE REVIEW ALL PHOTOS AND READ THE ENTIRE ITEM DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY AS THERE IS A LOT TO DESCRIBE!!THIS IS A TRUE FIRST PRESS PROMO COPY WITH DEAD WAX ETCHINGS AS FOLLOWS: Side 1: BSK-1-3075 LW-1 F.E. ✲ Side 2: BSK-2-3075 LW-1 ✲ Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Los Angeles pressing denoted by ✲ in runouts.
Up for sale is one(1) Van Halen - Self Titled Debut LP from 1978 on Warner Bros. Records (#BSK 3075).
THIS IS A PROMO COPY OF A FIRST PRESSING WITH THE WARNER BROS. "PROMOTIONAL COPY" STICKER ON THE FRONT COVER and INCLUDES THE BLACK & WHITE INNER SLEEVE. THE B&W SLEEVES WERE ONLY INCLUDED WITH THE PROMO COPIES, A COLOR INNER SLEEVE WAS INCLUDED WITH THE COMMERCIAL RELEASE.
And if that wasn't enough, this is the misprint label version with the number 4 listed twice on Side 1.
SO LET'S RECAP: 1) THIS IS THE SUPER RARE PROMO VERSION WITH THE LABEL MISPRINT WITH side 1 tracks being listed as 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5 instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 2) HAS THE BLACK & WHITE INNER SLEEVE. 3) HAS THE PINK / PURPLE WARNER BROS. PROMO ONLY STICKER ON THE FRONT COVER.PLAY TESTED! I RECENTLY PLAYED THIS LP AND IT SOUNDS AWESOME!

Nice clean labels.The cover is in EXCELLENT condition with minimal wear from age, including, but not limited to corner dings, and minor ring wear, creases. There are no split seams.
