The 2 Lps above are indeed "Promo Only" also included in this group would be the series of Warner Bros. "Loss Leaders" Lps (you couldn't walk into a retail store and buy them)....another category should be "Record Club Lp" Capitol, Columbia House, RCA and Longines were the main Record Clubs in the States, and produced many a non-commercial/retail Record club Lp....John

Another Thought!!!....You might want to add a field that says "Record Club Cat. No."....whereas an alternate retail copy number might change a prefix (or suffix) over the years.....sometimes the record clubs would change the cat. no...

Two examples from the Capitol Record Club:
The simple version (usually used on Capitol and Capitol distributed labels)
standard stereo stock copy of The Beatles "Revolver" ST-2576
record club version: ST-8-2576

The unpredictable version of all other labels:
standard stock copy of The Beatles featuring Tony Sheridan "In The Beginning" on Polydor 24-4504
the same Lp Capitol Record Club version: SKAO-93199.....like I said....just something to consider........John
