The Thing OG promo copies

Hey all.
I recently acquired several copies of The Thing score (perfectly normal, right?).
All original MCA promo copies. All numbered (though oddly all stamped with the same number, 505).

Sleeves are roughly vg+. Some storage wear to front, and sides.
The records themselves appear unplayed.

I wanted to offer them up here first. Let me know if you want a copy.
$30 plus shipping ($5 US, international actual cost).

Haha, replied.
I should note these came from an antique dealer who passed away.
So no guarantees they're not haunted...

I still feel like it would blow so many collector minds to lay out for them what that MCA album actually is - how little of it is in the film, the orchestral main theme that wasn’t used/Carpenter recorded his own synth iteration of, etc etc. Some know but many many don’t!

Indeed, more of a Morricone archival album at this point and quite a cool one at that.
