Alice Cooper Killer 1971 Only Known World Copy Lebanon Promo Ex/nm Lp

Information on KILLER Promos

OK, here goes: I don t think that I m exaggerating when I refer to this, as one of the rarest copies of Killer in existence. The only promos known to exist were created for America, Germany Japan. Only one of the Japanese Promo s have ever come up for sale, none available today, 5 only known to exist there is a long waiting list on Discogs should one ever turn up. The German Promo has never appeared on Discogs as you can imagine there is a long waiting list. The US Promo has occasionally surfaced for sale there are currently 5 for sale... 2 of which are in bad condition... the remaining 3 Promos go for 150, 250 425 Inc. Postage depending on condition. Now, this Lebanese Promotional copy of Killer is on another level, altogether is not even known to exist. Released in 1971 in Lebanon during the worst of the hostilities endured during the Lebanon War, as a result very few copies exist, quite likely only this one This one however, is of course the LEBANESE PROMO, and is not known to exist.... BUT NOW ON BEHALF OF EJ, EJ s DAUGHTER MYSELF: ... WE WOULD LOVE TO ONCE FOR ALL CONFIRM THAT IT DOES EXIST, EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE........THE ONLY ONE LEFT IN THE WORLD EJ his daughter s details are provided further down below

For those uninitiated with my eBay listings, these Promos Test Pressings that I have been selling bit by bit, are part of the private collection, of the once Head of A R in Lebanon, between the years 1966 through to 1974. He is known to me only as EJ his amazing life story was recounted to me in great detail by his beloved daughter a few years after his death. She was looking for an expert with the patience time to find the most appropriate homes and destinations, for what she knew to be extremely rare, if not unique vinyl, which her father had taken so much trouble to keep safe, through all of that awful war in Lebanon during the late 1960 s 1970 s.... who would eventually bring his family treasured vinyl collection safely out to Australia in 1978. He kept them very close, even in Australia, until his death, which is when his daughter s my paths crossed each other I have recently sold here on eBay his Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy Test Pressing, to one of the foremost Led Zeppelin collectors in the world, as well as his Led Zeppelin III Black Label, which was purchased by a wonderful gentleman in Adelaide, Australia, who is currently having it professionally framed for display. So, I feel certain that EJ s daughter can sleep real well knowing that her father s work within the Lebanese Music Industry, is today adding valuable information to the history of Rock, whilst also providing untold happiness to many lucky individuals worldwide AS AN UPDATE,THE RECENT COPY OF EXILE ON MAIN STREET LEBANESE PROMO EDITION WENT TO ONE OF THE WORLD S PREMIER ROLLING STONES COLLECTORS Latest update regarding the sale of Love It To Death Lebanon Promo, I can confirm that it now sits prominently amongst other rare Alice Promos owned by a very prominent Alice Cooper collector.

With regards to Covers for these Lebanese Promos, most of the Lebanese Promos issued between 1968 1973 either used foreign covers, or just generic Covers. There were no working fabrication plants at that time, capable of producing the necessary elements needed for mass production of Vinyl Covers, Inners etc.... There is a whole section in Discogs devoted to this subject, if you are interested in reading more
