BACKSTORY: Time to part with the collection. Hopefully pass on my personal collection to a new home, add a new treasure or possibly fill a hole. I collected vinyl from around 1977 and stopped around 1985ish. I traded and collected from all around the world, running ads in back of magazines like the Goldmine, Rolling Stone, Creem, Trouserpress, etc. These records have been sitting on shelves for over 30 years. I focused on color vinyl, imports, promos, original covers, original labels, alternate issues, etc. I never played collectible vinyl myself. They are in the condition I bought them in and I will give a description based on visual inspection. As a collector myself, I will try and be as conservative relevant to condition as well as taking the required photos to show the description as necessary. Please remember I am not a dealer, I am not an expert. Information is my best knowledge that I have....errr....remembered..... I am never trying to misrepresent anything. If you have correctional information, anything you can add, it is greatly appreciated by me because I would like to know, but more importantly the buyers need to know as well. Thank you for sharing. These are records I hunted down when I had the vinyl addiction. They are now up for grabs. The Vault is open. ........... Please ask questions before bidding or buying. Please consider everything as is. ...........//\\.........COVER CONDITION: I am going to let the pictures speak for themselves. I most likely will not comment on cover condition unless theres something to note. You can asssume the standard cover wear and tear, edge wear, etc. Hopefully the pictures will adequately show cover condition. But dont hesitate to ask questions, I dont want any hassles. Just passing on to other collectors is the goal without any troubles. Please dont bid if you are super anal nitpicky judgemental over the top critical vinyl snob. not that theres anything wrong with that, I was there at one time and I do have some stuff that will stand up to that. But now is not the time for me to deal with it. Ask questions, enjoy the records I squirreled away, kept safe and protected to now pass along. Please pay right away. I do my best to ship the next day, I have OCD or whatever it is. I can't wait to ship. Everything has to go, your purchase is greatly appreciated. Its like hoarder therapy. PLEASE dont email me after the fact with demands. PLEASE email before the ad ends with your demands. It is against ebay's policy to try and change the deal after the fact. super frustrating. Also, I always leave feedback, it would be great if feedback is recipricated, especially noting speed of shipping and quality of packaging. Just putting that out there. ........... I'm a Private Party Seller and a One Man Operation, this means that I do EVERYTHING by myself. I stand behind my items and a quick Ebay search of my feedback is all the proof you will need that you are dealing with a seasoned professional with a commitment to quality and service to honest buyers. . .............. ................ *** I LOVE SHIPPING INTERNATIONAL, PLEASE DONT HESITATE. I WILL SHIP ANYWHERE!! Free shipping is only for domestic sales, all International sales must pay the postage - Plus the 10% that the bay charges - and prearrange beforehand for a quote. I don't want any hassles. Check in with me for a quote before the ad ends. or you can check usps.com yourself to get the general idea.... The first class international is the cheapest and then there is a big jump to the priority international rate. I, personally, have never had a problem shipping the first class. But if you feel the priority is worth it and you want to pay for it. no problem. . Without the specific weight you can get a general idea. But I will give you a specific weight and price based on usps.com if you are a serious bidder and check in ahead of time. thank you so much in advance...... Because the bay charges 10% of shipping in addition to all the other fees, Dividing the shipping cost by .9 gives you the shipping total that includes the bay's 10%. If you are agreeable to all that, come on down, you are the next contestant on lets help the guy out....love to ship any where in the world. ** NOTE on domestic shipping. the free shipping is media mail. if you want to ship priority and or insure, you will have to pay for that. please let me know as soon as the ad ends of your intentions. DO NOT pay. I will have to invoice you with the additional charges including the above mentioned 10 percent surcharge. Then you can pay. * * * SPECIFIC RECORD DESCRIPTION/DETAILS/GRADING: looks mint, i cant see any surface marks. i dont see any spindle trails, these records look unplayed. absolutely amazing. rare straight label version. cover has water stain, insert has water stain but it has the insert
