Promo Label Vinyl Pics - Show Them Off!

Nice item of interest. Ya don't see a lot of stamped labels around my area.

 

If there’s no English text indicating a promo sample copy or “not for sale”, you will invariably see this Japanese text, which indicates the same thing:

 

Never heard of this band or album, what’s it like?

 

They very often have white labels and virtually always have 1 or sometimes 2 rectangular boxes with Japanese text of 2 or 3 characters in them stating for example that it is not for sale, a sample or something along those lines.
I have more than 60 Japanese promo label albums.

 

I know there are Oz copies like this of Undercover & Rewind plus a run of 5 Stones 45's from 1982 to 1984.

 

Thanks, I've heard that before... I just can't read Japanese.

 

Thanks, beat me to it.

 

Not here yet ( just bought it last night in our classifieds, but I'm excited ! )

 

Neither can I. You don’t need to be able to read it, just recognise the characters.

 

The Kinks Low Budget 1979 Arista Records DJ Promo with great hype sticker.

 

Need to show that label, that's what floats my boat!

 

Unfortunately it is a stock label.

 

A 2007 bootleg Promotional single that still sells for big money: Popsike

 

Gotcha'... still a nice item of interest.

 

Better?

Superstars Radio Network Presents Jay Ferguson Live 1978 Asylum Records Promo Only
No mainstream release.

 

Japanese Promotional 12" with 4 different artists from 2 different labels!

 

How can I tell it's a promo?

 

KM2.

The stock copy looks like this ...

 

Muddy Waters Sings "Big Bill" (Chess WLP 1960)

 

Interesting...wish it was clearly marked.

 

I'd love to have a copy of that, mainly for the Status Quo song.
