Promo Label Vinyl Pics - Show Them Off!

A couple by Steely Dan:

 

Rick Wakeman - The Six Wives of Henry VIII



The deadwax is marked "DJ". Interestingly, the first UK pressing of this album used the same cut.

 

Nice!

 

Most likely one off mastering's for the government.

 

T-Rex - Electric Warrior

 

Grateful Dead, American Beauty

 

Carpenters-

 

I gave mine to a friend.

 

That's a Beauty!

 

Here's its companion, Sandy.

 

Geez...this thread. Fun stuff.

 

John Lee Hooker

 

More Boston promos:


As if the original wasn't already loud enough, here is the super hot cut. One six minute song spread out over the whole side of a 12" record. Mountainous grooves!

 

Nice!

 

Two of Nick Lowe's finest.

 

Nice!

 

Awesome.

 

Nirvana- Smells Like Teen Spirit promo 45 from Costa Rica (!)

 

In my years of working with records I've never seen a white label pressing that wasn't the first press. If it's a regular label, they just stamp the cover. In the eighties I was getting promos of anything in print. I just had to ask. It was great.

 

Some Carpenters promo records:



This one, a Monarch, is the pick of the litter. Not only is it a good album, but the sound and play quality is outstanding.

 

After all those years I still have no clue what this is. Promo, export or just mispress? Anyone here knows for sure?

 

Yeah, never seen anything like that, but I'm sure you're happy to have it whatever it is.
