Emmett Finley - Newly discovered inventory - Original NEW and sealed copies !!!! Emmett Finley’s 1971 eponymous psychedelic folk rock release is a singer/songwriter’s dream come true. Finley recorded his opus at Synchron Studios, prior to it being dubbed Trod Nossel Studios by owner, “Doc” Cavalier. The enterprising studio owner also produced the record and released it on his own imprint, Poison Ring Records. Backed by Hans Peter Shulle (keyboards/backing vocals), Dan Zelleman (bass/backing vocals), Ray Monte (percussion/backing vocals), and the Ellington Sisters (backing vocals), Finley fronts the ensemble with his heartfelt vocals and passionate guitar. He beautifully expresses a wide range of emotions across the eight song offering through his stellar penmanship and performance. Finley went on to sign with CBS Records, only to walk away from the deal to study classical guitar under the tutelage of Leonid Bolotine.
Message to potential buyers:  (Updated February 12, 2023)  Hello all you Emmett Finley / Trod Nossel fans.  Since first listing this title last week, we have been swamped with questions.  After all, this one is hard to find, right?  We all know that new copies of the original release have sold for $80.00 plus and that some sources rate this as a $100 + album.  Yes, the copies that we have are all ORIGINAL pressings from 1971 and yes, they are all SEALED, but there is more to the story.
And here is the story........................recently, a box of 60+ copies was found.  The albums were NOT in the original boxes because pressing plants usually packed in 25s or 30s.  And here were 60+ copies all in one box.  Since it was first pressed, how many storage places and how many climates did this box sit in?  Heck, we don't know.  But we can tell you that all of the 'perfect' copies (no ring-wear, no humidity damage, no mildew, no dog-earred corners) have all been sold.  We have 40 copies remaining and each of those copies is less than 'perfect'.  Some are just dog-earred.  Some have humidity/mildew damage and a little mold.  Some have ring-wear.  Some have a combination of those 3 things.  THEY ARE STILL SEALED, so how did this happen?  Well, maybe you have never noticed, but most times, album shrinkwrap has a few holes in it, to prevent air from building up under the shrinkwrap which could warp the vinyl.  So, at some point over the years, this box of 60+ copies sat in a humid warehouse for a long time and the copies were exposed to humidity through the little holes in the shrinkwrap.  Does any of this affect the vinyl?  No.  The records are not warped and they will play perfectly.  It is just that the cardboard sleeves are less than perfect.  What does all this mean for you?  
Keep in mind -- these are original pressings and are still SEALED, but given that we don't have any 'perfect' copies remaining, we know that it would not be fair to ask $79.99 or more for the remaining copies.  We have about 20 copies with minimal dog-earred corners, minimal mildew and minimal humidity damage.  {NEW} We posted a photo of a typical copy of these next 20 copies.  We do not represent or claim that all the copies will be exactly as the photo, however, we feel that the photo is a good representation and is typical of the next 20 copies.  So, if you are interested in any of the less than perfect copies, we have opened up the "Allow Offers" feature that enables you to send us your offer.  After the 20 copies are gone, we will post new photos and lower the minimum for offers because the last 21 copies have more sleeve damage.  But hey, let's be real, we are not going to give these away.  Oh yeah, we do have to mention, that if you do send an offer, we assume that you have read the above information.  Thank You.
So, that's the story, boys and girls.  Any questions?  Feel free to send us a message.  / ArizonaMedia
