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.

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 45RPM, 12" Single was Promotion Only release. It was never available commercially. It has a long version on one side and a short version on the other side. Neither version is the same length as the album version. This track was on the "Remain In Light" album. This Promotional Copy has never been played. The single piece board cover has tight seams and shows no wear. This is a one-owner that the Seller got new from Sire in 1980. It has been in storage for 39 years.
