Description
These items are all from my personal collection, accumulated over a 55-year period. I am the original sole owner of many of these US records/sleeves, purchased at the time of their initial release. There are a couple of items that are only sleeves (no record) and a couple items that I purchased used. All grading is visual, by me, using Goldmine grading standards.
1. Moby Grape - Omaha/Someday (Picture Sleeve Only, Columbia, 4-44173). Sleeve front is graded VG+, with some wrinkling around the edges, a light crease extending up from the lower right-hand corner (front) and some evidence of outer-ring "presence". The back of the sleeve is graded Excellent, with a couple of blemishes.
2. Steppenwolf - Straight Shootin' Woman/Justice Don't Be Slow (Picture Sleeve Only, MUM records, ZS8 6031). Sleeve is graded G+, with wrinkling, especially around the top edge, evidence of outer-ring "presence" and a 2" long sharp wrinkle in the sleeve-front upper right quadrant.
3. Paul Revere & The Raiders - Good Thing/Undecided Man (Picture Sleeve Only, Columbia, 4-43907). Sleeve is graded VG+ due to some wrinkling on the top edge and evidence of outer-ring "presence in the upper-right quadrant of the sleeve front. Otherwise it would be Excellent.
4. Paul Revere & The Raiders - Hungry/There She Goes (Picture Sleeve Only, Columbia, 4-43678). Sleeve is graded VG+ due to some wrinkling along the top and bottom edges, and evidence of outer-ring "presence".
5. The Byrds - Have You Seen Her Face/Don't Make Waves (Record/Picture Sleeve, Columbia, 4-44157, RARE, PROMO, Non-LP B-Side). Sleeve is graded G+, mostly due to inner- and outer-ring scuffing. Also, the print in the Title bar on the sleeve front is faded and uneven. Not sure if this is due to wear or a poor manufacturing printer process. The record is also graded G+ due to light surface scratching and some loss of gloss. The "Don't Make Waves" label side has a "Bandwagon U.S.A. Promotional Record" ink stamp on it.
6. The Byrds - Eight Miles High/Why? (Record/Picture Sleeve, Columbia, 4-43578). Sleeve is graded Excellent, with two light creases across the front of the sleeve. The record playing surface is graded VG, with a couple of light surface scratches. The "Eight Miles High" label has my name written in ink.
7. The Turtles - She's My Girl/Chicken Little Was Right (Record/Picture Sleeve, White Whale, WW260). Sleeve is graded Excellent-to-Mint Minus due to a couple of blemishes on the sleeve front. The record is graded Excellent, with a couple of light scratches and scuffs, mostly on Side-B.
8. Linda Ronstadt & The Stone Poneys - Up To My Neck in High Muddy Water/Carnival Bear (Records/Picture Sleeve, Capitol, 2110, Label Variations). Sleeve is graded G, with several areas of discoloration spots (both sides) and some evidence of outer-ring "presence". There is also some wrinkling along the top edge of the sleeve B-side. There are 2 copies of the record.
Record 1 is graded VG-, with some light scratches/scuffs across the playing surface, mostly on the B-side. Compared to Record 2, the Title font is not as "bolded", there is noticeable spacing between "Linda Ronstadt" and "And The Stone Poneys", and there is no spacing between the lines on the "Catalog No." side of the record label.
Record 2 is graded VG-, with some light scratches/scuffing across the playing surface. Compared to Record 1, the Title and Artist print is a bolder, darker font, with no line spacing between "Linda Ronstadt" and "and The Stone Poneys". Note the capitalization differences in the artist title between Records 1 and 2. Finally, on Record 1, there is noticeable line spacing between the Publisher, Catalog and Producer information on the "Catalog No." side of the record label. See photos for label variations.
9. The Doors - People Are Strange/Unhappy Girl (Record/Picture Sleeve, Elektra, EK-45621). Sleeve is graded Excellent, with some wrinkling along the top edge and one light bend in the upper-right quadrant. The record is graded VG due to some light surface scratching, primarily on Side B, and my name is written in ink on the A-side record label (see photo).
The auction starting price is set to primarily cover postage and insurance. I believe in the free market system. My main interest is in getting these items into the hands of a serious collector. The law of supply and demand will take care of the rest.
Please note that I do NOT accept returns under any circumstances and ship ONLY to the US. If you have any questions about the characteristics of these records/sleeves that I have not mentioned, you must ask them prior to placing your bid. I currently have a 100% positive feedback response on eBay, so you can bid with confidence.
