Please read this entire listing. The records you are bidding on have been cleaned by hand and in most cases, placed in a white paper inner sleeve (most include the original inner as well). You are bidding on vinyl records from my personal ongoing collection (started in 1976). I will do my best to describe my records accurately. See my other auctions for more great vinyl.  

The records you are bidding on have been visually inspected only. I’ve played every one at some point and all did play.  They rate from VG to NM, with the majority leaning toward VG+ to EX. The covers are also in VG to NM condition. Some are in shrink.  

ARTISTS -  

Jefferson Starship, Papa John Creach, The Outlaws, Marshall Tucker Band, Boz Scaggs, Jim Capaldi, Randy Meisner, Kenny Loggins, James Gang, Little River Band, Quarterflash, Jeff Beck, R.E.O., Dan Fogelberg, The Motels, Loverboy, Supertramp, Dr Hook, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Ringo Starr, The Rascals, The Association, Blood Sweat & Tears, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Young Rascals, Bob Welch and Pure Prairie League.  

VINYL RATING – VG to NM  

COVER RATING – VG to NM  

Any questions, just ask. I rate loosely using the Goldmine Scale (Please see below for my grading explanations and terminology).  

RATINGS  

Mint 10/10 – Vinyl still sealed, new in its original shrink wrap.  

NM 9/10– Vinyl may have a light pop or tick here and there.  

EX 8/10 - May have light pops and ticks throughout that aren’t readily noticeable, except between tracks or during soft passages.    

VG+ 7/10 - May have light pops and ticks throughout and/or moderate pops, ticks or crackle here and there that are noticeable during playback but shouldn’t distract from the music.    

VG 6/10 – Along with possible light noise throughout, moderate ticks, pops or crackle as well, apparent during playback, but not overtaking the music. In my experience, the majority of vintage vinyl rates VG.    

VG- 5/10 – Along with possible light to moderate noise throughout, loud pops, ticks or crackle present here and there, noticeable during playback.    

G 4/10 – Loud popping, cracking or crackle throughout, heard during playback.  

F 3/10 – Loud popping, cracking or crackle throughout, overtaking the music.  

P 2/10 – Records that may have label value only. Unlistenable due to multiple skips, loops and loud surface noise.  

F 1/10 – Vinyl that, when you put it on your turntable, you fly right back to take it off because you just know it’s about to tear your needle right off the tone arm. If you lived in the shadow of a mountain, I always thought you could use these to shingle a house with or maybe play Frisbee with your dog. I guess I try to find a silver lining in everything though.

DNAP;  Does Not  Affect  Play

FIRST PRESSING; refers to the original version of any given record, usually the most rare and sought after.

GATEFOLD; An album cover that opens like a book.

INSERT; Posters, stickers or order forms for band memorabilia, originally included with the record.

LOOP; A skip that stops progression of the needle and plays the “same groove” over and over. Manual movement of the needle is required to continue play.

LP; long playing 33 1/3 rpm, most 12” vinyl records.

MATRIX NUMBER; The numbers, characters and writing in the dead wax, used to identify the individual records origin.

ULTRASONIC CLEANED;  is a process whereby high-frequency sound waves create cavitation on the vinyl surface in a bath of water and cleaning agents. The cavitation makes tiny bubbles, forcing dust and sediment from the record grooves and recesses in a minimally abrasive but powerful manner.
