Here are the details...
We are offering an ORIGINAL U.S. PROMO pressing of the self-titled album by Gandalf, released in 1968 on Capitol Records Stereo ST121.
The initial release of this album was plagued by a massive screw-up on the part of Capitol Records sorry Capitol the ENTIRE first batch of albums that were shipped to retail stores contained the WRONG record inside
Once Capitol realized the mistake, they recalled the album to correct the problem. But
it was already too late: the market momentum was lost, the demand for the album passed, there was NO radio airplay, no band tour to support the release, and many stores chose not reorder it. Amid the flub, the band evaporated, and moved on.
Capitol Records, anticipating that the demand for the LP was going to be minimal, replaced the mis-shipped copies in truly minuscule quantities.
It s estimated that fewer than 500 copies were re-shipped altogether of which fewer than 300 still exist today. And of those, fewer than 200 exist in playable condition.
And how many promos were made? This is a PROMO
Review photos for details and condition. I tend to overkill the packaging for shipping due to my utmost respect for retro vinyl LPs.
