From 1965, come The Mamas & The Papas with their single California Dreamin' b/w Somebody Groovy on Dunbhill D-4020 DJ white label promo. Ultra rare promo-only picture sleeve accompanies this, their first single and mega-hit!! The sleeve also contains the title of their first album which reads, "If you can believe your eyes and ears". Great black and white photo of the group with John Phillips not looking very excited,Denny Dougherty looking lost,Mama Cass looking excited and Michelle looking like she just came in from a fashion shoot! It is a  glossy sleeve and extremely rare! This sleeve was DJ promo-only!! It was issued only in limited quantities, fewer than one thousand.Single is the rare styrene press!

This item is an ORIGINAL!! 

All reflections/shadows in photos are just from my camera!A truly rare item

 ALL RECORDS GRADED VISUALLY WITH 150 WATT BULB AND THIRTY FOUR YEARS OF EXPERIENCE!! 

MY GRADING IS FOLLOWS: MINT MINUS=AS CLOSE TO NEW AS CAN POSSIBLY BE, AFTER BEING TOUCHED BY HUMAN HANDS.

VG++= LOTS OF PLAY IS LEFT, NO MARKS, SCUFFS OR SCRATCHES. LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN PLAYED VERY LITTLE.

VG+ = SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF BEING PLAYED, BUT STILL IS A QUALITY PLAY. MAY HAVE SOME LIGHT MARKS.

I WILL NOTE ALL FLAWS BEFORE I GIVE THE GRADING. IF THERE ARE NO FLAWS LISTED, THAT MEANS THE RECORD IS EITHER MINT MINUS OR STILL SEALED!  OLDER RECORDS DO NOT SOUND LIKE NEW RECORDS, AS RECORDS ARE MADE OUT OF MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF VINYL AND VINYL SUBSTITUTES AND MOST OF THEM WERE NOT PRESSED ON 100% VIRGIN VINYL!. IF YOU WANT A RECORD THAT SOUNDS LIKE A 180 GRAM RECORD, THEN BUY A 180 GRAM RECORD. THE OLDER RECORDS ARE A LOWER DENSITY AND ARE 90 TO 110 GRAMS, THEREFORE THEY CANNOT SOUND THE SAME AS NEW ONES!

FLAWS:      Sleeve has three spots of the letters colored in with ink,two names and an address written on rear,brown spotting on edges of sleeve front and rear,handling marks.DJ stamp on label of single.

GRADE:       Sleeve is VG+ and record is better than VG+ but not VG++.
