I've spent 50 years working in broadcasting, specifically oldies formats. I've spent 40 years collecting and using jukeboxes, and I've spent 60+ years collecting (hoarding) records. It's time to share part of the stash with the world before I get buried in them. I've sorted through and put together 100 record lots of mostly all NOS, unused, stored for decades, reissue 45's. These are on all the typical oldies reissue labels that you've seen on a million records. There will also be some actual original pressings simply because there were a some mixed in that still look like brand new. This is a "grab bag style" random lot sale. Now, since these have been stored away some going back 40 years it's hard to tell 100% if one may have been played or listened to, etc. They have NOT been put in jukeboxes. They will look and sound like brand new records. They are all in sleeves, although probably not the original, correct sleeve. They have been stored in sleeves since birth. There may be some minor marks or wear here and there from being jostled around in storage, but these all look darn nice. There's no crap in these boxes. Now, when I say "rock and pop" that's a BROAD category. Rock, rock and roll, R&B, rockabilly, pop, doo-wop, instrumental, etc... etc... Rock and roll covers Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly to the Doors, the Moody Blues or Cream. R&B can vary an equally broad spectrum, and pop can include Pat Boone and Helen Reddy. There may be some country "crossover" hits in your box. These records will ALL be hits by people you've heard of. Nice thing about the reissues is they have a good song on both sides, so if you're stocking a jukebox both sides are worth playing. You may hit 1, 3, 5, or even 7 or 8 or more original pressings in your box. It's hard to say. I'll do my very best to be sure you have no duplicate records. You might get two Beach Boys records, or two Elvis records, but if you do they'll be different records with different songs. I'll toss in a couple extras just in case you hit a couple clunkers or one that has an owie that I missed. The Buy It Now price INCLUDES FREE media mail shipping in the USA. I'm going to list Priority Mail as an option if you need them faster. These are perfect for filling jukeboxes, stocking a record store, spinning at retro DJ dances and parties, stacking on your vintage record players with the fat spindles, etc. Photos are representative of the thousands of 45's stacked in my office that I'm working through. I'm only listing quantities based on records that are already sorted and ready to go, so no one will get the "dregs" at the end. This is less than $1.50 a record, that's 75 cents a song, actually less as I'll toss in a couple extras for backup and FREE shipping. Most of the records will be 50's and 60's, but may get into the 70's as well. Overseas buyers are welcome too and I'll be using the eBay Global Shipping Program.
