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.

Janis Joplin/Full Tilt Boogie ‎– Pearl
If you're looking for an original First Pressing of this classic that has never been played, here it is. Pearl is the second and final solo studio album by Janis Joplin, released posthumously in January 1971. It was the final album with her direct participation, and the only Joplin album recorded with the Full Tilt Boogie Band, her final touring unit. This copy has never been played. The paper on board cover has tight seams and shows some storage ring wear. The original inner sleeve is included. I have added a soft poly inner sleeve. This is a one-owner that the Seller got new in his record store in 1971. It has been in storage for 50 years.
