Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

Album ships in a 2 MIL poly cover sleeve and a 2 MIL poly inner sleeve.

I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.

New and vintage vinyl is hard to grade strictly using eBay’s system because the record and the cover are two different components. Therefore, I call a record new and mint if it is opened but has never been played.  I use the grading category to describe the cover condition.

This is a First Pressing (Pitman) that has never been played. The thick vinyl record has the red two-eye Columbia label. The paper on board cover has tight seams and shows a couple very slight worn corners. The original inner sleeve is included. I have added a soft poly inner sleeve.  Contains the original version of "Wasn't Born To Follow" that became a classic after it was featured in the "Easy Rider" movie. This is a one-owner that the Seller got new in his record store in 1968. It has been in storage for 49 years.
