Information On 'Love It To Death' Promos!! ## OK, here goes: "I don't think that I'm exaggerating when I refer to this, as one of the rarest copies of 'Love It To Death' in existence. The only promos known to exist were created for America & Japan.  None of the Japanese Promo's have ever come up for sale, & there is a long waiting list on Discogs should that ever change. The US Promo has occasionally surfaced for sale & historically has averaged roughly $100.00 and been sold for as much as $400.00. Now, this Lebanese Promotional copy of 'Love It To Death' is on another level, altogether. Released in 1971 in Lebanon during the worst of the hostilities endured during the Lebanon War, & as a result, only very few copies remain in existence... & quite likely only this one!! The album itself (not this promo version) was released in Lebanon around the same time & when available which is extremely rarely it sells for well over $100.00. Cont'd... 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)  Background to Lebanese Promos as well as ORIGINAL OWNER INFORMATION!! [[[ 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! ]]] Condition Description & Other Information 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! The Vinyl is described as between Excellent & Near Mint & looks like it's been played a 1/2 dozen or so times. Not too many signs of play. Just a few extremely fine hairlines and/or sleeve marks. Several spindle marks to both labels & some separation from plastic protective covering on both labels. The Vinyl has retained nearly all of its rich waxy lustre.  Please see all attached photos...
