In this auction:
COURT AND SPARK LP by Joni Mitchell
This is Asylum Records 7E 1001.
The LP was released in 1973.
This is a WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL COPY OF THIS LP.
As you probably know, PROMOTIONAL RECORDS were ONLY released by record companies to the radio stations and DJs for on-air play and to VIPs in the music industry. They were produced in very small/limited quantities, and they were NOT available for sale to the general public therefore, they are typically valued more by vinyl collectors. Certain promotional records are particularly hard-to-find and have become highly sought after by collectors and especially by the fans of certain recording artists and/or bands.
This LP happens to be one of my favorite Joni Mitchell LPs with GREAT tunes including: Court And Spark , Help Me , Free Man In Paris , Car On A Hill , Raised On Robbery and others. Please refer to labels for the complete listing of tracks.
The GATE-FOLD COVER is in NICE VG CONDITION with light to moderate overall wear primarily near the top and bottom of the front and rear covers . There are NO seam splits, NO writing, NO ring wear, NO creases and NO tears on this cover.
There is a round Elektra Asylum PROMOTIONAL STICKER on the front cover that is torn on the left side. It has 5 tracks listed on it as AIRPLAY SUGGESTIONS . Those suggested tracks are: Help Me , Free Man In Paris , Raised On Robbery , Twisted , and Same Situation .
PROMOTION COPY NOT FOR SALE is also printed In a circular fashion around the perimeter of the sticker.
The VINYL is in VG CONDITION with a few very light/slight surface hairlines/scuffs. NONE OF THESE ARE FEEL-ABLE AT ALL. And the vinyl has LOTS OF GLOSS
Both LABELS have NOT FOR SALE printed on them. The promotional labels are CLEAN and WHITE
It s a GREAT Joni Mitchell Promo LP in NICE Condition to add to your vinyl collection
