This PROMOTIONAL Package is from our personal collection accumulated as an employee at a major market AM radio station in the late 60s and 70s.
JACKET/SLEVE (VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)): The jacket shows light wear on the edges. The album sleeve is in near mint condition. The jacket also has the "Reprise Records Radio Station Service - NOT FOR SALE" label, listing each of the album's cuts, on the front cover of the jacket.
PORTFOLIO (VERY GOOD): This outer folder looks very good, but shows some wear on edges, and some creases on the corners.
