Please note: This is a fairly new account. I have been commissioned to sell a large collection of records that once belonged radio DJ Bob Senn in Santa Barbara, CA (more about him below) and the collection belongs to DodgerBob. We have already gotten 100% positive, glowing feedback which we encourage you to check out. Buy with absolute confidence. I go to great trouble to describe every highlight and flaw accurately and fairly.

There are many, many incredible promotional copies mainly from the late 60’s through the 70’s being listed now and for some time to come...please follow us and check out our other listings- we of course offer combined shipping on multiple purchases...we will simply add $1 USD per additional album.

WOW!! For sale is an absolutely gorgeous, nearly pristine and almost certainly unplayed first Santa Maria pressing of Fleetwood Mac - Mystery To Me. The sleeve is in spectacular condition and the audio is guaranteed to be top notch with no groove wear and clear, crisp sound! The original owner (more about him below) took extremely good care of these records and only played them on high quality equipment. Many have never been opened. Many have never been played, and most that were played have only been played lightly. They have been in careful, climate controlled storage for 30+ years. More detailed description to follow below.

A play test may be requested, but based on my experience with others in this incredible collection of similar appearance, I have been blown away by the high fidelity of these records and many satisfied customers have said the same. Truly one of the best copies you will find.

Matrix/Runouts:

Etched, except when in bold, it is stamped.

1: MS-2158 31652RE-1 -1B KENDUN A1 S 1

2:MS-2158 31653RE-1 1B KENDUN A3 S 1

Sleeve: EX+

BEAUTIFUL crisp sleeve...sharp opening edges, nice corners and no major creases or bends. Small ding to lower right hand corner. Some light rub wear visible along top and bottom of disc ring on rear. As with most records in this collection, “From The Collection of Bob Senn” has been lightly stamped on rear. No other writing.

Disc: NM-

GORGEOUS disc retains all of it’s original glossy sheen...only the faintest wispy sleeve removal traces, faint factory “streaks”** appear/disappear when tilted under bright light. I am only adding the “minus” out of an abundance of caution, as this truly appears unplayed, or if played at all, it was played and handled very little. As with many of the records in this collection, there is a very good chance it is truly unplayed and guaranteed to have NO GROOVE WEAR, providing crisp, clear, STUNNING audio! TOP COPY

**The “Factory streaks” I’m referring to I have found on many pressings, especially older 1960s/‘70s promo copies. From my research, these are artifacts of the pressing process and typically only show up/disappear when tilted under strong halogens. They were caused by release of lubrication liquid of some sort to aid the pressing process, especially early among the first copies pressed such as promos. They are NOT abrasions, scuffs or residue on or in the grooves...they are part of the vinyl itself and do NOT cause any audio interference whatsoever. I’ve play tested many, many copies with these “streaks” and have found no surface noise (quite the opposite- these promo copies were almost always pressed on extremely quiet, virgin vinyl and sound incredible). They may raise an eyebrow if you’re examining under bright halogen and seeing them for the first time, but once you play the record, you will find these pristine promos to be of the highest audiophile quality. This is the reason I often put a minus to the NM visual grade when in reality, they are truly strong NM audio.

Labels: NM

Labels are perfect with no unwanted writing or marks. No spindle traces and no evidence of play.

Inner: NM

Original generic Inner bag is unsplit, untorn and only has light disc impressions with no major creases. No unwanted writing.

Insert: NM

Original lyric insert is in perfect condition with no tears, creases or writing.

——————————————————

This copy is from the collection of Bob Senn - a renowned Santa Barbara, California DJ and program director for KTMS FM “The Rock on the Coast”. When Mr. Senn passed, his collection was acquired by my friend who has commissioned me to help sell them. There are thousands of records in the collection, almost all promotional copies in mint or close to mint condition.

IMPORTANT INFO:

———————-

A PLAY CHECK CAN BE REQUESTED BEFORE MAKING ANY PAYMENT OTHERWISE IT WILL BE ASSUMED NO COMPLAINTS WILL BE MADE ABOUT ANY PLAY ISSUES.

THIS DISC HAS BEEN CLEANED USING A SPIN CLEAN WHICH I’VE FOUND TO BE PERFECT FOR GETTING OUT THE LIGHT DUST WHICH MAY HAVE SETTLED INTO THE GROOVES OVER THE YEARS. HOWEVER, IF CRACKLE REMAINS, A DEEPER CLEAN AND/OR ANTI-STATIC GUN IS RECOMMENDED.

Grading System:

SS (Still Sealed)

Unopened records, still in original shrink wrap. In original manufactured condition unless otherwise noted (i.e. evidence of mildew or bent corners, etc.)

M (Mint)

The record and sleeve are in perfect, original condition. The record may have been played but will have no evidence of deterioration. (I will only use this grade on SEALED records that appear to be Mint as I believe any non-new, opened record cannot be truly called MINT.

NM (Near Mint)

A nearly perfect record. Any visible defects are of the type that "disappear" when the record is tilted under a strong light and they should not affect play. Sleeves in near mint condition will have no obvious signs of wear. Practically imperceptible ring wear may be allowed but no creases, seam-splits, or other easily detected flaws will be present.

EX (Excellent)

A very clean record. Near mint except for slight, superficial signs of wear. Sleeves in this condition may have marginal defects, but will not have significant creases or splits.

VG+ (Very Good Plus)

A well-cared-for record that is noticeably less than perfect, but defects are not visually or audibly distracting. Record surfaces may have slight scuffs or light scratches, but are still primarily clean. Sleeves may have some creases or minor ring wear, but should not be split.

VG (Very Good)

A used, reasonable copy to play. Many of the defects found in a VG+ copy will be more pronounced in VG condition. Surface noise may be evident and sleeves may look worn, but the record is still a decent copy.

G (Good)

A well-worn record that is still playable. Good does not necessarily mean "bad" but a record in this condition will have audible distractions and may have visible groove wear. Sleeves may have all manner of defects, but are still intact.

FA (Fair) and P (Poor)

These grades are for beat-up records. I will only sell records in these grades if they are extremely rare and sought-after.
