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 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.
"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" is widely considered to be the original forerunner of Rap. This is a First Pressing of producer Bob Theile's Flying Dutchman Records original 1971 release. This copy has never been played. The gatefold cover has tight seams, a stiff spine and shows no wear. I have added a soft poly inner sleeve. This is a one-owner that the Seller got new in his record store in 1971. It has been in storage for 52 years.A1The Revolution Will Not Be Televised2:59A2Save The Children4:55A3Lady Day And John Coltrane3:10A4Home Is Where The Hatred Is3:15A5When You Are Who You Are3:01A6I Think I'll Call It Morning3:45B1Pieces Of A Man4:22B2A Sign Of The Ages4:05B3Or Down You Fall3:08B4The Needle's Eye4:01B5The Prisoner8:39
