If you are a fan of this much vaunted album and you have never had the pleasure of listening to this Mofi pressing, how sad it is to be you. Simply put, this is the sonic pinnacle of this record. There are no other pressing of this recording with as much detail, even the U.K. fist pressings pale in comparison. To hear this version for the first time is to experience an artificially induced deja vu. First you hear the familiar melodies, chords and lyrics but then your ears begin to hear subtle details that make you question if you've even heard this album before, and you have heard this album before, just not like this. This is the only version that I know of that brought a grown man to tears upon first hearing.

About Me    

The collection offered here are built around Rock, Folk, Blues, R&B, Soul, Pop and occasional Jazz.  I bought my collection from brick & motar Indie record stores, from garage and estate sales, and liquidation auctions.

My records are well maintained. I make it a habit to not buy below VG+ grade unless it is music I really like or the record is valuable even below VG+ grade.

After all these years, I've decided to part with my entire collection on ebay and make a little cash in the process. I don't expect to make a fortune from my collection but I don't expect to become a pauper either.

I am willing to negotiate pricing on the fixed price items if the offer is reasonable.

Grading Standards

I DO NOT GRADE SOUND! 

HOWEVER, I DO PLAYTEST ALL MY LISTINGS USING A $1000.00 MERCILESSLY REVEALING MC CARTRIDGE AND I PROVIDE A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE SOUND OF EACH RECORD AS PART OF THE LISTING. IF YOU HAVE FURTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PLAYBACK OF ONE OF MY LISTINGS DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK. 

I DO NOT GRADE SOUND BECAUSE SOUND IS HUGELY AFFECTED BY LISTENING EQUIPMENT

All grading is based on visual inspection of each item under bright lamp.  The grades are as follows in a descending order: M, NM, EX, VG+(occasionally VG, G+). GRADING RECORDS INVOLVES SUBJECTIVITY. IF YOU SHOULD FIND THAT YOU (SUBJECTIVELY) DO NOT AGREE WITH MY GRADE FOR AN ITEM, IT IS STILL YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY RETURN SHIPPING

BEWARE, I do not have any perfect vinyl in my collection and I do not make any promise of perfection even with mint vinyl. ALL VINYLS HAVE FLAWS AND IF THIS IS NEWS TO YOU THEN YOU HAVEN'T BEEN COLLECTING FOR LONG.

I DO NOT INCLUDE DESCRIPTIONS OF EVERY MINOR  DETAIL ABOUT JACKET AND INNER SLEEVE. IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE BUYERS WHO THINKS A SPLIT INNER SLEEVE IS A DEAL BREAKER PLEASE FWD YOUR DETAIL QUESTIONS ABOUT JACKET AND INNER SLEEVE  BEFORE BUYING.

RECORD CLEANING

I will only clean records when it is necessary. Most of the records in my collection require a good once over with an anti-static brush. In cases when I have to clean I use mostly distilled water and very little surfactant solution. In my experience too much use of surfactant solutions in record cleaning introduces electrical charge.
