Here is your opportunity to purchase some rare and collectable LP's at a great price!

I have collected Lp's for the past 30+ years, it's time to finally let this collection go to new homes. I worked in a couple used record stores during my youth, which afforded the opportunity to purchase many of the items you will see posted. Many rare and promotional pieces will be offered, as well as the norm. I will list this collection gradually over the next couple of years (10000 pieces+). A large portion of the collection will be Heavy Metal/Hard Rock and Alternative/Indie. I do not have the collection organized anymore, so please do not ask for spacific items not listed. I will be opening one box at a time(all stored for the last 14 years).

I am not a record grader, I know each of us sees things with a different eye. The condition of most items is fantastic,  I will try and list any visible flaws. Do not bid on items thinking they are "mint". As a seller on ebay for the past 20 years, I am only concerned with the satisfaction of my customers. Please, if you have any concern after receiving your lp(s) contact me directly. Please see my feedback. So here we go, please keep watching and bidding!! I hope you enjoy these albums as much as I have.

Shipping: Free Shipping Domestically!!!

Feel free to combine lots for discount

Will be shipped in a sturdy lp shipper.

Please Read: I am starting to list a collection from a college radio station in Brockport NY that I purchased as a whole(4000+ lp's). The vinyl on the majority of these pieces is fantastic, clean and many never played. The collection is filled with extremely rare obscure records. Most of the jackets have the call letters of the radio station(WBSU) written on them in pen/marker. There may also be some comments/reviews/doodles about the lp on the jackets(this makes em one of a kind), written in pen or marker.A catalog sticker is also on the front of many of the jackets. please look at the pix!!  Tons of promos in this collection!! Each listing is one of a kind. Get these while you can!!

Please look at all the pix posted-Thanks!!

Notes

This release has stamped matrix numbers in the dead wax. All other versions with this cover are counterfeits (with etched matrix numbers) and should not be listed here.

This US release is the first release on LP of The Man Who Sold the World. It was only released in two countries - US and Japan (SFX-7345) - with this original cover. The building in the background is the Cane Hill Hospital where David Bowie's half-brother Terry was a patient.

The album was released in a further three countries on the Mercury label - Germany (David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World) in a large circular fold-out cover and the United Kingdom and Australia with a picture of David reclining in a dress. This latter cover is the one used on contemporary releases.

The US Mercury album was counterfeited (see David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World) in the early 1970s after Bowie became popular. It was possible for a potential buyer to choose between the official RCA reissue (in yet another cover, see David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World) and the widely distributed counterfeit.

The following visual indicators can be used to confirm an original US Mercury LP:
• The matrices in the runout (the space between the label and the grooves) are machine stamped (the counterfeits are hand etched).
• The space between the final lyric line of The Supermen and the cartoon bubble "Oh By Jingo" on the back cover is approximately the height of a line of text, while on the counterfeits the space is notably wider.

There are other differences, though these can be more easily seen and described in a side-by-side comparison.
