     For sale is a vinyl record by The Partridge Family Titled "The Partridge Family At Home With Their Greatest Hits", originally released in 1972 by Bell Records. In the dead wax between the labels and the last tracks is etched the matrix numbers A-12/B-1, indicating that the first stampers were used to make this first edition. This is a hallmark of state-of-the-art engineering, sought after by collectors and music lovers for their superior sound quality. I bought this record used, professionally cleaned it on my VPI HW-17 machine and immediately put it into an archival inner sleeve. This preserves the integrity of the vinyl and any original inner sleeve(s) or insert(s) that may have come with the release. There is no inner sleeve with ths listing. The cover is graded Excellent because of corner blunts, ring wear and edge rubs. The spine has color loss at the corners from these blunts and in the middle from shelf rubs. The vinyl is visually graded as Near Mint, with surfaces that are shiny and bright, in a like-new condition, without ant surface scratches, scuffs or spindle marks on the labels. You would be hard pressed to find a copy of this record in this condition because it has become so scarce. I have more Pop albums, as well as records of all genres in my Ebay store. Please take a look. They're predominately Near Mint. Thank you for viewing my listing.                                                 I've been collecting records for about 50 years now and have always cleaned them and put them away carefully in plastic inner sleeves. Over the years I've used Dust Bugs, Disc Washers and have finally invested in a professional VPI record cleaning machine. Now that I'm retiring, I'm selling my very esoteric collection. I'm not a professional grader of records, but will use record guides, as well as my personal experiences as a basis of my grading all records. Since grading is subjective, I will be conservative. I offer discounts for multiple sales. Photos are of the actual item for sale, not a stock photo. Please review all descriptions and photos because I do not accept returns. Thank you for looking!
