I asked myself the same thing. I am assuming that WLP stands for "White Label Promo", but I really don't see what the OP is asking? Most records had a release as WLP for a small, first batch to the industry.
I have several WLP's and they can be fantastic, however many of them have been played extensively and are noisey, though even those can be better than a quieter regular pressing. A few titles that come to mind are Born to Run, Darkness on the edge of Town, Billy Joel Turnstiles (excellent).
It's (funny) that my response to "Tbromgard" several days ago, was never posted. Oh well, it's not the first time. I'm kind of the persuasion of Tom Port @ Better records. I have heard for myself, the difference between pressings of the same lp. This is why I (asked) others of their RECOMMENDATIONS for WLP. Knowing that these arer sometimes tipped up in balance, there are some that exceed normal pressings.
A promo is the first stamp pressing sent out to radio stations.Everyone one I have sounds better than standard press.They are expensive and rare in mint condition.One of my best sounding promo's is Zappa Sheik Yerbouti,maybe the finest sounding guitar recording in my whole collection.Also Joe's Garage promo of guitar solo Watermellon in easter hay,awesome.
