Van Halen Looney Tunes Promo 1978 Orig RED VINYL Promo 12” EP – PRO705

Songs Are "Runnin' With The Devil," "Eruption," "Ice Cream Man," "You Really Got Me" And "Jamie's Cryin."

"It was issued as a promotional item, in advance of the albums release and was distributed to radio station staff, the music press and selected music industry V.I.P.'s. It was not made available to the general public. One side of the special red vinyl features Elmer Fudd wearing a Warner Bros hat and reads "Looney Tunes, Merrie Melodies". The reverse side lists the songs. Both the record and the die-cut sleeve have the ORIGINAL Van Halen logo that was ONLY used on this promo record. Few were made, and most are long gone. EP was withdrawn because of the unauthorized use of the "Elmer Fudd" picture label.This is THE 1st Van Halen vinyl."

Sealed & under $15!

    None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe that they are free.

    Thanks!

    I saw it out of the corner of my eye & thought, "hmmm, a bunch of looney tunes sound clips...might be interesting." I never even noticed the different VH logo. Then I turned it over & saw the song list. Then it hit me. I took out my phone & did a quick search.

    SOLD!!!!

    Nice score! Very rare to find one sealed. I've had one (unsealed) in my collection for over 30 years.
