  By the way, please excuse any shadows in some of my listing pictures!  Couldn't find an angle where I didn't get one!  But, just to assure you, there are no blemishes on the album cover!
 EVERY AUDIOPHILE KNOWS THAT THE ORIGINAL LP'S HAVE THE BEST FIDELITY AND THIS IS NO EXCEPTION  THIS CAN BE FOUND IN CD FORM BUT NOT IN THE RARER LP FORMAT
IT IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION FROM THE DISC ITSELF TO ITS SLEEVE AND ITS LP COVER LOOKS GREAT WITH NORMAL WEAR JUST FROM BEING STORED FOR SO MANY YEARS
THIS AND ALL MY NEW AGE OFFERINGS CAME DIRECTLY FROM THE MUSIC LIBRARY OF THE SYNDICATED MUSIC PROGRAM 'MUSICAL STARSTREAMS.'   IN ITS DAY IT WAS THE DEFINITIVE NEW AGE MUSIC PROGRAM.  BELOW IS A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PROGRAM

Musical Starstreams (aka Starstreams) is a terrestrial and internet radio program that first aired in the  bay area in December 1981. Originally known as Music for Your inner Space, it has been produced, programmed and hosted by Forest, originally in  and now from , for its entire nearly thirty-five year history, except for a twelve-month period from mid-2002, when  hosted the show.

In 1983 the two-hour weekly show began syndication on commercial terrestrial radio, and in 1985 was picked up for distribution outside the US. It has been heard on over 200 noncommercial and commercial ,  systems, the , XM  channels and . Although initially scoring good ratings nationwide, the show peaked in numbers of terrestrial stations in 1991, the same year it was nominated for  magazine's 'Adult Syndicated Program of the Year.' With the volatile nature of commercial radio stations continually changing formats, terrestrial station coverage has significantly declined to a point where by their own website's count, they list only 10 noncommercial and commercial  (as of 3/11) which they attribute to the decline in terrestrial station listening and the increased popularity of the internet where more listeners have chosen to listen online to the program in its current form. A more music intensive version of the program called The Starstreams Channel can be heard online, hosted by Madison Cole and by Forest himself as simply Starstreams on Mixcloud.

Back in the 1980s the show played a mix of , new-age and a small amount of , Today, it has more of a Chill music core, sometimes characterized as mid- to down-tempo "exotic electronica". Back in the early days it was also sometimes described as "Marin County hot-tub music" a tongue in cheek reference to its former home just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco


WHEN FOREST, THE ORIGINATOR OF THE SHOW AND HOST MOVED THE SHOW FROM CALIFORNIA TO NEVADA IN THE 90'S, HE DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO DIGITIZE HIS LIBRARY AND SINCE I HAD BEEN IN REGULAR CONTACT WITH HIM, HE OFFERED TO SELL ME HIS ENTIRE LP LIBRARY OF WHICH THIS LP WAS A PART.  I RECEIVED HIS LIBRARY OF OVER 300 LP'S IN NEW CONDITION AND THEY HAVE BEEN LOVINGLY STORED IN AIR CONDITIONED NON SMOKING COMFORT SINCE.  I HAVE NEVER PLAYED ANY OF THEM I AM OFFERING FOR SALE.
THIS IS A MOST IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION IN YOUR PURCHASE.
THESE LP'S CAME FROM A PERSON WHO TREASURED THEM AND NEEDED TO KEEP THEM IN PRISTINE SHAPE BECAUSE THEY HAD TO BE OF BROADCAST QUALITY.  FOR HIS SHOW HE MAY HAVE PICKED ONE TRACK OR PERHAPS FOR ANOTHER SHOW A DIFFERENT TRACK.  THEN AGAIN, HE MAY NEVER HAVE PLAYED ANY  TRACK AND JUST HAD THE ALBUM.  SO YOU ARE GETTING A MINT CONDITION RARE LP THAT MAY NEVER HAVE BEEN PLAYED AT ALL AND MOST CERTAINLY WAS NOT PLAYED IN ITS ENTIRETY EVER.
THE LP'S WILL BE SHIPPED IN REINFORCED CARDBOARD AND WILL ARRIVE SAFELY.  I AM A BUYER AS WELL AS A SELLER ON EBAY AND I TREASURE THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE BOTH WAYS.  CHECK MY FEEDBACK FROM OTHERS.  I WILL PLEASE YOU NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES AND THAT INCLUDES SHIPPING COSTS.

FOR MY INTERNATIONAL FRIENDS I WILL CHARGE YOU THE ACTUAL SHIPPING FOR YOUR FIRST PURCHASE AND ALL OTHERS WILL SHIP FOR NO EXTRA CHARGE, NO MATTER HOW MANY.  THIS IS ENORMOUS SAVINGS FOR YOU AND I DO IT TO OFFER THESE WONDERFUL LP'S TO AS MANY MUSIC LOVERS AS I CAN REALIZING HOW EXPENSIVE IT HAS BECOME TO SHIP OVERSEAS.  I HAVE ONE SHIPPING CHARGE BECAUSE IT IS TOO HARD TO COMPUTE SHIPPING FOR ALL OVER THE WORLD BUT IF THE COST IS LESS THAN WHAT I HAVE STATED I WILL REFUND THE DIFFERENCE.  IF IT IS MORE, I WILL NOT CHARGE MORE.
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING.  GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS
