so call Promo lp

This is nothing more than a normal album, the special thing is it has a big sticker label to indicate  is for promotional use only

this gold stamp is very common, similar to above and as indicated in the text, this album is lent for promotional use only

this is a promo copy as indicated clearly in the label

mostly a promo copy should comes with the code xPROx

another example of a promo LP, but  this compilation is without the code of xPROx

dun ask me why and i wish to know too!!!

so is promo LP really sounds better?

personally i dun fully agree... it is very much depending on individual preferences.. to me i find some of the 12" single is as good as the promo

here the few reasons i would pay a higher price for a promo LP:

1) they are likely from the early pressing from the original recording source hence a better quality

2) they are rarer as limited copies are made

3) potential some mixes where is not available in the album/12" releases

that's all i have to say... and happy spinning ;-)

Carole King ~ continues...

2 days ago visited zenn and found  this 2 albums by carole king

after repeatedly play-thru and cleaning but found not much breakthrough (in term of the songs) for both albums

still the tapestry is the best

 here her official website

went to modular audio on 19/8/2010, found this copy of japan pressed, tapestry by Carole King

straightaway grab it without a second thought

gatefold and wonderful artworks

loving it...

Is never too late with Carole King

got the tapestry for free from Laurence (ubi) when i bought the TEAC VRDS 10 from him about a month ago..

with mould and scratches everywhere but after cleaning, this 1971 LP is back alive again. imagine, this LP is 1yr older than me... i sang along with the tracks and started to loving it...

today went to ah loong to pick up depache mode's CD and found another piece of her LP, Music, gatefold for a very special price of $8. was very dirty but after cleaning and is perfect, no scratch. play well throughout...

from the 2 albums, i am pretty ascertain that she loves cat and dog ;-)

top pick: it's going to take some time (music) & it's too late (tapestry).

anyway... it is never too late to catch up songs by carole king ;-)
