Description

Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.

New and vintage vinyl is hard to grade strictly using eBay’s system because the record and the cover are two different components. Therefore, I call a record new and mint if it is opened but has never been played.  I use the grading category to describe the cover condition.

  • "Video Killed the Radio Star" was the very first music video played when MTV debuted on the air in 1981. That track is on this album.
  • This Promotional copy is a First Pressing of the original 1980 release.
  • This copy has never been played.
  • The gold foil Promo stamp is on the right side of the front cover.
  • The single piece board cover has tight seams and shows no wear.
  • This is a one-owner that the Seller got new from Island Records in 1980. It has been in storage for 40 years.
