You are bidding on a box lot of over 400 45 RPM records. These came from a New Orleans record store that closed over 10 years ago and which had been in storage until we bought the entire inventory of 45's. This inventory consists of used records and the store was known for dealing in previously owned, new and rare records. 

Records in this lot are used records ranging from Good to Very Good+ condition. A few will have minor wear and dust from years of storage. There may also be worn and/or inked labels. We've discarded any that were cracked or warped and there are a few nice vintage items in the lot (see pictures). Records in this lot are mostly from the 1950s through 1980s and there is a very good mix of all genres as well. The records are used, and some have scratches or marks from play so please bid accordingly. You may find a few that are poor or unplayable, but we tried to remove anything scratched up too badly.

Artists represented in this lot include;
Strawberry Alarm Clock Sonny & Cher Donny Osmond David Gates Rod Stewart The Generation Johnnie Taylor Roy Clark Dazz Band Cat Stevens Gary Lewis Paul Anka Bob Henderson Brian Stacy Ohio Players Patti LaBelle Smokey Robinson Rick Nelson Linda Ronstadt Dr. Hook B.J. Thomas Neil Diamond Sly and the Family Stone Andy Gibbs Diana Ross Blondie The O'Jays Ringo Starr
and many, many more

At LA Vintage, we sell new and used items including vinyl records, 7" 45 RPMs, video games, comics, CDs, electronics. All of our LP's are carefully packaged and shipped in sturdy cardboard media mailers with appropriate padding.

All items are carefully graded. LA Vintage strives to give our customers an accurate impression of condition by providing an "overall presentation" grade; we do not give a "listening" grade. When necessary, we provide additional remarks to help relay that complete view. Everything is graded visually, under a hi wattage light bulb for accuracy.  On the rare occasion that something is mis-graded or if you have any issues with any item you receive, please just let us know and we will take care of it. Your satisfaction is our number one priority. Below is the “old-school” grading policy we have adopted from other highly reputable Ebay vinyl sellers.

NM  The record looks basically new. There are NO hairline scratches, NO marks of ANY KIND. Some records (especially recent pressings on 180g vinyl) come new with spots of discoloration, for which we do not downgrade. I do not use NM+ or NM-, only Near Mint.  EX  As soon as we see even the slightest, faintest line, the record is no longer Near Mint but rather goes into this category. An Excellent record can have a small handful of light marks. Only inaudible light scuffs. This grade should be considered “close to perfect.” VG+  When a record has more than a handful of light marks, it goes into this category. More marks and a few light hairlines are acceptable here. Nothing that will cause repeating ticks or looks like it will cause consistent background noise or anything like that.  A VG+ record will satisfy most collectors. VG  The record can have quite a few hairlines and maybe a few scratches. There will likely be some noise, but it should play through and be very enjoyable. These are Very Good records and will satisfy most customers, unless you have a $300,000 stereo and want your records to sound as quiet as CDs (in which case, better stick to NM and EX). Fine for parties and casual listening. VG-  Definitely noticeable surface noise.  Scratches.  Likely will play all the way through without skipping on a standard turntable with a properly set-up arm/needle,but may not. G+  More and deeper marks and scratches, consistent noise, possible skips. We rarely offer records in this condition. G    This is 1 step above POOR, which is basically unplayable but will be desirable if it’s rare enough. We rarely offer records in this condition. POOR  It’s a wall hanging, looks good on a shelf, maybe you have a cover and need the record or vice versa. Again, we rarely sell these. 

Keep in mind, we are not experts in every one of the products we sell. We are resellers. We do research on our products and provide you with as much information on the product as we can. We describe them in our listings to the best of our ability. We also include pictures in our listings. Please use the closeup view of the picture(s) of the listing to get your best view of seeing the product as we see it.
