I am a 40+ year collector of LPs and 45s. All of the LPs and 45s I have listed on eBay are from my personal collection.

I have also been an audiophile for 40+ years (analog only). My system picks up the slightest surface noise on vinyl; i.e., ticks, pops, hiss, and sibilants due to groove wear. The standard I have used in adding a record to my collection has been how well it played. To me, this means quiet surfaces; i.e., no ticks, pops, crackle, or hiss in the music or the dead wax.

The outer covers of LPs have been stored in polyethylene sleeve protectors since I acquired them. I have also removed the record from opened LPs to prevent seam splits.

I have used strict grading standards of the UK publication Record Collector. I hope you find something you can add to your collection and enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed vinyl records for the last 58 years.

This LP is The Buddy Holly Story. It is a mono LP and was issued in 1963 on the Coral label. It is catalog number CRL 57279. The vinyl is M- only due to a couple light lines in the run-out on side 2. It plays mint with no ticks, pops, or surface noise in the music or in the run-ins or run-outs. The vinyl is superb. All you will hear is the music. The labels have no spindle tracks. This LP has not had many spins on a turntable.

The sleeve is VG+ due to a 3" seam split on the side seam. Also, there is a name and address stamped on the front panel. See the photos. The sleeve has no ring wear or creases on either the front or reverse panel.

Payment, Shipping, and Returns:

Please do not remit payment until you receive an invoice. The buyer is responsible for all shipping costs. All boxes and other shipping materials are new. Each LP is carefully packaged in custom made LP mailing boxes with new cardboard stiffeners (the exact size of the mailing box) on the top and bottom of the LP so it is tight and secure within the mailer. The record is removed from the sleeve cover, except in the case of sealed LPs, to avoid seam splits in transit. Shipping costs include only the actual costs of shipping and the required shipping materials. Shipping services within the US are USPS Media Mail. The shipping cost for this LP within the US is $6.00.

Shipping costs vary widely outside the US. International shipping services are either USPS International or Federal Express International. For all locations outside the US please contact me for an exact shipping cost. The buyer is responsible for any customs or import duties. All shipping services include a signed-for receipt.

Your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you are not satisfied with your purchase for any reason, you may return the record for a full refund of your purchase price. The record must be returned in the same condition, and in the same manner, in which it was shipped.
