No bar code, upc Identifying marks that match other Heart vinyl. I Even tried calling manufacturers, producers, distribution companies by contact phone #’s and addresses printed on album (pre-internet days) and they are no longer in business/ out of service.

*Info related to promotional/demonstration recordings:

A promotional recording, or promo, demo or plug copy, is a recording distributed free, usually in order to promote a recording that is or soon will be commercially available. Promos are normally sent directly to broadcasters, such as music radio and television stations, and to tastemakers, such as DJs and music journalists, in advance of the release of commercial editions, in the hope that airplay, reviews, and other forms of exposure will result and stimulate the public's interest in the commercial release.

Typically a promo is marked with some variation of the following text: "Licensed for promotional use only. Sale is prohibited." It may also state that the promo is still the property of the distributor and is to be "returned upon demand." However, it is not illegal to sell promotional recordings,[1] recalls of promos are extremely rare and unenforced.[2] Because promos are produced in smaller quantity than releases made available to the general public, they are considered valuable collectors' items. They are never intended for sale in record stores.

Promotional recordings are distributed to commercial AM and FM radio stations for airplay. These singles typically feature just the radio edit of the song, but may also include alternate remix edits, the original album version, or even call-out hooks

When it comes to night clubs 12-inch records and CDs are the more popular media by which promotional recordings may be distributed to DJs in the industry. These singles typically feature one or more extended remixes of the title track that are not generally available to the public as well as the original extended version, which in many cases is itself club-friendly. In some cases, the disc/lp may have anonymous track labeling or lack labels altogether. Often the corresponding CD/LP may also carry radio edits and other alternate cuts that did not make it onto the 12-inch record itself.

It is not unusual for a promo single/album to have no commercially available counterpart

Versions in the compilation are usually either radio edits or extended / 12" remixes of the song, depending a bit on the targeted audience. It normally takes a couple of weeks after the release of the original promo single to be available on promotional compilations. This has the added benefit of having the songs when they're already had some airtime and are thus not the bleeding edge no-one has heard from, but still have usually not been released to the mass markets yet.
