1980 MCA Impulse! A-6 Stereo Gatefold LP. As New & Unplayed. Watch me open it on November 23, 2023, after having it for 40 years, above!! Still in its original open shrink wrap. Gatefold has never been opened.
I bought this copy new & factory sealed in the 1980s and it has remained Sealed until today! I decided to open it so we could all see what pressing it is.
IT REMAINS UNPLAYED.
The gatefold has never been opened. The jacket remains in its slit open shrink wrap. I have only removed it from the jacket for these pictures! Of course, it still has its original liner. I notice an "O" stamped on the lower right corner of the cover. I also note some light scuffing from the liner.
About my Sealed & Newly Opened UNPLAYED Lps- The Blue Note & Impulse! record labels have changed hands numerous times over the years. When I began noticing copies of artists I love on either label disappearing from store shelves when an ownership change was in progress, I began buying duplicate (Sealed/New) copies so I’d have a backup in case they didn’t return to print. I still have most of those duplicate, Sealed copies, and after years of agonizing about parting with them, I have decided to offer some of them here!
Given that stocks of some of the original Blue Note & Impulse! covers were apparently left over and transferred to the new owners, who then used them with new pressings, it’s often impossible to tell exactly which pressing is inside. Therefore, since I bought these between 1970 and 1984 I’m guessing they are the contemporary pressing. Also, many of my open copies are of the contemporary pressing, so I’m pricing them as if they are, too. Of course, they could be an older or different pressing. I just don’t know.
About my Vintage Vinyl- Every record I sell is part of my personal collection of 1,700 Jazz and 500 Classical albums carefully compiled over 30 years (between the late 1960’s through the 1990’s). Countless hours were spent scouring record stores, mostly in NYC, but also in South Florida. Sadly they’re all gone now. Most were bought new and have had 1 owner to date.
All records are visually graded. With so many records on hand, most saw few, if any plays. They have all been kept in a smoke & pet free climate controlled environment. I haven't cleaned them, preferring to leave that choice up to their new owner. Everything I sell is absolutely genuine in all respects. We never sell copies, knockoffs or counterfeits, nor do we reseal anything. Please ask all questions before buying. This is a final sale.
