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.

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 a very hard-to-find item because it is a 12", 45RPM Promotion Only, Not For Sale copy that was never available commercially. This Promotion Only copy has never been played. One side is the Long Version, the other side is the Short Version. It has a custom WB Records label. The single piece board cover has tight seams and shows no wear. The record is in the original poly inner sleeve. This is a one-owner that the Seller got new from WB Records in 1984. It has been in storage for 33 years.
