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 3 MIL poly cover sleeve and a soft 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 grade a record new and mint if it is opened but has never been played.  I use the eBay grading category to describe the cover condition.

This is a Blue Vinyl, 45 RPM, 12" Single in a die-cut cover. It is a Reprise Records 'Promotional Copy Not For Sale' Mono version that was only released to radio stations. It was never released commercially. This copy has never been played. The Seller was a label exec and fan who had worked Neil's records for many years. He was friends with Neil's manager the late, great Elliot Roberts. As a thank you to the label exec Elliot got Neil to sign this with the inscriptions 'Thanks' and '80'. It was rare for Neil to sign anything with more than his signature. The die-cut cover has tight seams and shows no wear. In addition to the white generic inner sleeve I have added a soft poly inner sleeve. This will look great and unique mounted & framed with the blue vinyl half out of the cover. This one-owner has been in storage for 44 years.

Note: As you can see in my store I do not specialize in autographs. I only sell autographed items from one Seller who I formerly worked with. So, it is not economical for me to get COA's. If I did I would have to raise prices. Over the years, only a couple Buyers have had items they bought from me analyzed and both were certified (COA). If any autographed item that I sell cannot pass a COA I will accept the return and issue a full refund.
