Here is an assortment of records I am selling. This drop is specifically for Rock, Metal, Punk, Folk, and Indie records. Some of it is from my personal collection and the rest are records I acquired from my recent trip to the UK.. I found tons of great stuff over there. I found quite a few NEAR MINT 1st press copies of classic metal albums from groups such as Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, and Dio. I found a great punk/indie collection where I acquitted clean first press records from group such as the Cure, The Clash, The Pixies, Joy Division, New Order, Talking Heads and many more. I also acquired first presses of every LP by the Smiths (to which there are a few copies I have for Meat is Murder and they’re self titled), all in great condition. I also have rare psych records such as Roger Nichols & The Small Circle Of Friends listed so take a look. Good luck bidding!

=======================================================================================

First vinyl release of Smile session recordings made by fans, for fans in 1983 through Brother Records. This is the very first release of this album (Brother ST-2580) in super clean condition with the liner notes insert. The album collected various tracks and outtakes that were meant for the unreleased Beach Boys album Smile. These days, a cool collectible for those who follow the expansive Smile sessions story. Don't sleep!!

Super clean record. Looks barley played. Features these pressing marks/spots throughout both sides but they dont affect playback at all.

----------------------------------

GRADING SCALE: 

SEALED / MINT - Record jacket is sealed. Disc is sold ?as-is.?

NM - Super clean record with basically no imperfections. Appears unplayed or barely played at all. I’d use this rating infrequently

EX - Basically either spotless visually or sounds extremely clean. 

VG++ - Has extremely few light marks. Very clean

VG+ - Has some imperfections, such as hairlines or scuff, but looks clean and should play well

VG - Similar to VG+ but has more imperfections. Records VG and up will not typically have any scratches deep enough to be felt. 

VG- - Fair amount of imperfections or scratches that may affect playability. 

VG-- - Plethora of scratches scattered throughout. Literally scratches/hairlines everywhere.

G - Imperfections and scratches throughout including scratches that cause playback issues and can be felt. 

*These records are visually graded but I do at times give a quick listen to the record so that I can give you an idea of the item you are receiving. If I mention the sound quality of the record, just know I DID NOT listen to the whole record, I only listened to small parts of it. If I listened to the whole record, I will say so in the description.

**I dont grade records considering the spindle marks. I might not even mention it but if it catches my eye I will mention so. If that is an issue for you, ask ahead of time.
