Switch – Golden Earring Japan Promo Pressing 1975 | Polydor – MP 2471 | Series: SAL74 System Sound Revolution | Vinyl LP This extremely rare Japanese promo pressing from 1975 of the album Switch ranks among the most desirable collector’s items by Golden Earring and represents a true highlight for serious rock and vinyl collectors. Released as part of the exclusive “SAL74 System Sound Revolution” series, this edition was produced primarily for high-end audio demonstrations and promotional use and was never commercially distributed, making original surviving copies particularly scarce. Japanese promo editions are inherently far rarer than standard retail pressings. Combined with the prestigious SAL74 audiophile series, this results in an exceptionally sought-after collector’s piece, which very rarely appears on the international market. Especially when complete with original promo sleeve, inserts and, if present, the OBI strip, these copies command substantially higher prices among discerning collectors. Switch represents a significant stylistic progression for Golden Earring, blending powerful classic rock, progressive elements, and strong melodic songwriting. The album captures the band at their creative peak during the 1970s, delivering tight arrangements, dynamic guitar work, and instantly memorable hooks. This Japanese promo first pressing is considered one of the rarest versions of Switch and today stands as a highly attractive investment-grade vinyl release. In very good condition, it is an outstanding centerpiece for any premium rock, Japanese pressing, or promotional vinyl collection. An extraordinarily rare Japanese promo edition with audiophile sound, iconic design, and major historical significance — this pressing is far more than just a record, it is an exclusive collector’s artifact for connoisseurs, dedicated enthusiasts, and serious vinyl investors.
