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.

This Promotional Copy is a First Pressing from the Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Terre Haute. The Gold Foil Promo stamp is lower right back cover. This copy has never been played. The single piece board cover has tight seams and shows slight storage wear. The glossy inner sleeve has photos on both sides. I have added a soft poly inner sleeve. This is a one-owner that the Seller got new from A&M Records in 1980. It has been in storage for 39 years.
