Welp...it's finally time to let go. I've been collecting records for almost half of my lifetime. My personal collection consists of well over 5,000 records and it has been meticulously curated - especially the condition. Impressive, to say the least. Lots of time and effort and maintenance have been put into it. Many titles have been in the collection several times over until I found the very best copy I could get my hands on. The collection consists of mostly rock and metal - the GOOD stuff - but also includes a lot of other fun stuff and a ton of rarities. Original Slayer pressings in shrink, tons of Beatles and Pink Floyd, MFSL pressings, lots and lots of imports, colored vinyl, promos, box sets, AC/DC on Albert Productions, and way way way too many Kiss records just to name a few examples. Old stuff, new stuff, lots of stuff from the late 80's and 90's when records were going the way of the dinosaur, and everything in between. I've sold hundreds of records to several notable people in the entertainment industry and you might be surprised at who some of those folks are. 

Everything starts at a buck...yep, only ONE DOLLAR! If you snooze, you're going to lose because there are some incredible records in this collection. Shipping will NEVER cost more than $5. Buy as many as you want and I'll either adjust the invoice or send you an immediate refund if you are buying multiples. Goal is to list a few records a day and these will be completely random to keep things interesting. Please follow me as a seller because you are undoubtedly going to see some amazing and rare titles being listed and they will go for less than top dollar if you're paying attention.

ITEM DESCRIPTION:

ARTIST: ROBIN TROWER

TITLE: BACK IT UP

LABEL: CHRYSALIS RECORDS

CATALOG NUMBER: S 205 650

YEAR: 1983

VINYL GRADE: VG++

JACKET GRADE: VG+ (Big 'ol seam split in the middle of the spine.)

INNER SLEEVE: Includes plain white inner sleeve.

ADDITIONAL INFO: None.

GRADING SCALE:

MINT (Sealed, perfect condition. 10/10)

NEAR MINT (Like new with only a hint of wear. 9/10)

EX (Very few blemishes. Maybe a couple light scratches on the vinyl or a few light creases to the jacket. Serious collectors will be satisfied with this grade. Some would call this Near MINT, but to me that grade is designated for something that's been opened and never played. 8/10)

VG++ (A step below EX and a step above VG+. In above average condition and will be a very nice copy. 7.5/10)

VG+ (Average, used condition. Most of my vinyl and jackets are in this condition. Vinyl will show playwear/scratches, but nothing deep and it will play through fine. You may encounter a "pop" or two or some light background noise. The jacket may have creasing, edgewear, ring wear, or corner dings but nothing significant. 7/10)

VG (Vinyl/jacket may will show a fair to moderate amount of wear .Vinyl may show a number of scratches and you will likely experience some background noise during playback, but NO skips. The jacket may show a fair amount of wear in the form of creasing, edgewear, ring wear, writing, seam splits, etc. 6/10)

VG- (Rarely will I sell anything of this grade unless it is a collector item with some value. Moderate to heavy wear on the vinyl and/or jacket. 5/10)

Overall, anything with the most common grade of VG+ will show some surface wear and/or needle marks but nothing deep. VG+ will still play fine in my book. 8/EX or 9/NrMINT and it will be in fantastic condition. Please note the subjective nature of grading; your VG+ might be my VG or my VG+ might be someone else's EX. Read the description, read my grading scale, and most importantly - ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY BEFORE MAKING A PURCHASE. It will save both of us time if you do these simple things :-) 

If you haven't bought from me before, here's 3 quick things you need to know about me as a seller:

1) I HAVE A LOT OF FUN DOING THIS! I WANT YOU TO HAVE FUN TOO! I'M EASY TO TALK TO. JUST LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS...I'M HERE FOR THE PARTY!

2) I'm very proud of my feedback, and it should tell you a lot about my history on eBay. Been here a long time (1998 to be exact) with an impeccable feedback rating. I actually really truly care about making this a positive transaction for both of us.

3) All of my records are cleaned before I sell them. Remember - cleaning them doesn't remove the scratches of scuffs, but it does remove the grime and fingerprints and dust and bong resin and Cheetos flakes. I'll put it this way: if I were selling a used car, there's no way I would put it on the lot with a price tag on it if I haven't cleaned it first. And when I get a used record in the mail, it makes me so much happier when it's already cleaned and ready to go. It takes time and effort to do this but I want you to be happy. Plus, it's easier to grade and see how many marks are on the record after it gets a bath. Hip hip HOORAY! We win!

BOTTOM LINE: I WILL DETAIL ANY IMPERFECTIONS TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY IN MY ITEM DESCRIPTION! HONESTY IS ALWAYS THE BEST POLICY!
