Billy Cobham Question

I just picked up a used copy of Bill Cobham's "Warning" album. I wasn't aware of it until now. Inside the sleeve is a folder. Inside the folder is a picture of Billy playing live and what looks like a cover letter from Nancy Goldstein from GRP Records. She briefly talks about the album and quote "If you'd like to interview Billy, please call me at 212-777-0736" Under the cover letter is four page biography of Billy Cobham. It all looks hand typed and then copied. Do any of you Cobham fans know what all this is? Those of you who have a copy, do you also have these documents? Not sure what I have here. It's the first time I've run across this. Any information would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Blair

My brother owned a record store some years ago. He had many "promo" albums with cut corners, punched holes in a corner or the sticky label attached noting "promotional copy...not for resale." You definitely have a promo copy with some additional promotional material as previously noted. Great find...even better drummer!!!

I would say 40% of my vinyl collection is promo's cause the record stores would sell them for 3 dollars less than a sealed new copy. I have a Crosswinds promo by Cobham,great album with Abercrombie on ax.
