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 one of the most collectable Christmas albums of all time. This classic compilation features The Ronettes, The Crystals, Darlene Love and Bob B. Soxx And The Blue Jeans. This copy is a First Pressing of the original Monaural recording of the original 1963 release. The musicians include members of the legendary Los Angeles 'Wrecking Crew' including Jack Nitzsche, Hal Blaine, Nino Tempo, Steve Douglas, Sonny Bono, Al Delory, Don Randi and Leon Russell. Recorded at Gold Star Recording Studio in L.A. It is in the original Factory Sealed Shrink Wrap. This is a one-owner that the Seller got new in his record store in 1968. It has been in storage for 52 years. Ships in a protective poly sleeve and an over-size Mighty Music Mailer. Shipping charges include insurance.
