Released in the early 1980's I believe.  
The pressings are really quiet and sound beautiful.  If you avoid reissue collections like this, I understand--so do I.  But these are high quality reissues.  AND THEY'RE RED! WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE. Shipping is calculated for these 20 records, total weight 3 lbs. Save on shipping by bidding on several of my current record auctions.  International buyers should ALWAYS Email me for shipping quotes on combined purchases,  and all buyers are invited to Email me with questions about shipping costs, labels, stamper numbers, etc.

FLAT-RATE SHIPPING*: $4 within the USA for first LP, and 50-cents for each additional one. Canadian buyers pay $7, and $2 for each additional LP. Buyers in Mexico pay $11.50, and $3 for each additional LP. Other international shipping is AIRMAIL $15.00for one LP and $3.50 for EACH ADDITIONAL LP.
*Multiple record sets are usually sold with Calculated instead of Flat Rate Shipping, and International orders of more than 5 records also use Calculated Shipping.

GRADING STANDARDS (based on Goldmine)
M (Mint): Perfect, used for sealed records.
NM (Near Mint): Apparently unplayed, with no signs of wear, or at most, one or two inconsequentilal flaws that don't affect play.
NM- (Near Mint Minus): Minor paper scuffs or flaws that are likely inaudible.
VG+ (Very Good Plus ): Record shows signs of careful use. Scuffs or light scratches are common but not very pronounced. Slight surface noise.
VG (Very Good): Visible light scratches or scuffs are more pronounced, evident surface noise. Noticeable groove wear that affects the sound.
VG- (Very Good Minus): A well-used but playable record. Still has a decent sound despite scratches, surface noise, groove wear.
G (Good): Record plays, but is probably only useful for reference. I hardly ever sell these unless it's a very rare item.

GRADING STANDARDS (78 RPM)
Same as above. Comments on surface lustre, edge chips, etc. will always be included.

I usually grade visually, but I often listen to more valuable items. I try not to over-estimate the quality of a record, but mistakes are sometimes made, and people's opinions sometimes differ as to grading. I guarantee fairness and customer satisfaction, and will do everything possible to correct mistakes and issue refunds when justified.
