Here's a different take on the White Label Promo with "DJ Copy" underprint in the design.
You have alot of very cool Rock Music Promo's. I've been searching through my Rock collection Promo's with stickers or time stamps,but it seems most of my WLP's are in Jazz. So you've posted A&M,Warner Brothers,and Columbia Records but I'm wondering if Capitol Records ever used a White Label?s/t - Badfinger

I have a couple of Capitol Records with the corner of the cover Perforated "Promo" as the one above. So I'm wondering what their policy was in Promo distribution? It doesn't seem likely that they would grab just any Lp's out of a pile and Perf the corners.
Yes,it was punched right through the shrink-it was still sealed when I found it. Now that you mention it,I have a few Blue Note's that are embossed "Demonstration Only" in the corner with no shrink,or stickers....And I know it's off topic but your "Bell Bottom Blues" signature made me ponder what a Rock n' Roll muse Patty Boyd-Harrison was to inspire so many songs. Not to mention her sister Jenny....I believe they did just that. If yours has the factory shrink on it, does it look like it was stamped through the shrink?

Here's an oddball-a white label promo Japanese repress of the Jazz Crusaders debut Lp. Thanks to Slick Willie for starting this thread-I enjoy sharing my collection with like minded people-most the people I know don't get it at all,they just play music as a background distraction.

I knew I had Some WLP's that weren't in the Jazz genre-I was going through the pile looking Baker Gurvitz Army's "Hearts on Fire" and I saw this Pet Clark Lp.....
Now that's cool-that's like pre-production-is Vinyl? or another material?And yet another type of WLP, the Advance Promo. Often times with pressings available no other way.
