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.

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 Promotional copy of John Cale's 1970 debut solo album "Vintage Violence". This copy has never been played. The gold foil Promo stamp is upper left back cover. The paper-on-board cover has tight seams. Pressed at Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Terre Haute, IN. This is a one-owner that the Seller got new from the Columbia rep in his record store in 1970. It has been in storage for 50 years.
