33 LP RECORD MARVIN GAYE Funk Soul 1971 US 1st What’s Going On? TAMLA TS 310 NM

During this past year, we were blessed to acquire (2) world class LP & 78 RPM 

record 

collections which we will be dispersing during the coming months on eBay.  This first group was collected by a former Nashville, TN area disc jockey during the 1960’s through the 1990’s.  This amazing group of vinyl comprises about 2500 different 33 & 45 RPM sides in an eclectic mix of rock, Psych, punk, Jazz, world music, folk, New Wave, Metal & spoken word.  

 

This lifelong collection of records was assembled by a discriminating, condition only, audiophile collector.  While, I can not play test these LPs because I do not own a turntable, I am happy to report that the vast majority of these albums remain in immaculate to near immaculate EX to NM condition—for the most part, clean shiny vinyl with little to no visual evidence of playware or scratching present, in near pristine jackets. 

 

Lucky for my eBay friends, the fastidious man who amassed this collection simply did not collect any wax that was not in really really nice condition!!  His modus operandi of collecting was to immediately commit the LP to tape or CD (& later to hard drive) and then to store the record in his 2 room collection, never to be handled again..  Hence, some of these records have a recording date written on the sleeve.  

 

His wife said that the records remained otherwise undisturbed & unplayed in his collection, as he played his music collection through cassette tapes, and later through CD's. 

 

Understanding that many LP record collectors do not use liquid cleaners, I have not cleaned any of these discs with any liquid cleaners or anything else for that matter.  Some were simply wiped will a dry micro fiber cloth.  Hence, some records will show some minor prints, dust & surface soiling.  We’ll allow the new owner to clean as they see fit.

 

I will not describe the jacket condition as a picture is worth a 1000 words in this realm.  If there are any seem splits, they will be noted & photoed.  

 

Vinyl condition will be well described with the flaws well photoed.

33 LP RECORD MARVIN GAYE Funk Soul 1971 What’s Going On? TAMLA TS 310 NM

Incredible 1st US Pressing of this progressive soul classic that Rolling Stone Magazine lists as one of the five greatest albums of all time!  And I would agree!!!

The album remains in exceedingly well cared for excellent condition visually with no ticks, playware and/or scratches to be found.  It was very well examined with a 5X loupe in the bright sun.  Spindle holes & dead wax really reflect no playing wear at all.

Nothing at all in the way of scratching.   Very, very clean indeed! 

About as clean as you could hope for without being unopened Mint-in-Shrink!

Please do not confuse the dust for scratches or damage.

This is the one you were looking for!!

 

Probably the first time in 20 or 40 years that most of the vinyl from this estate collection has even seen the light of day!!
