Welcome to Kelly's Rare Records!

ALL of our vinyl records are handled with great care and are professionally cleaned in the same manner as The Smithsonian Institute > very meticulously on our NITTY GRITTY Fluid Injection record cleaning system! We also provide new MFSL archival quality innersleeves and heavy-gauge 5 mil. clear outersleeves for the ultimate in vinyl preservation!

Every LP is play graded in it's entirety for absolute quality assurance! Additionally, we pack and ship ALL RECORDS very securely with the vinyl on the outside of the jacket and double bubble wrapped inside custom over-sized heavy-gauge shipping boxes, Because We Care! Sealed LP's will remain sealed!

AN IMPORTANT NOTE TO NEW CUSTOMERS: Every vinyl record offered for sale on my ebay site has undergone a very stringent quality assurance process. If you're looking for "space fillers" or "cheap questionable quality records" that will only waste your time and hard earned $$, there are plenty of them on ebay and at your local 2nd hand store.  I've been collecting vinyl records for well over 30 years and I guarantee every item I sell with a 100% Money Back Guarantee if not as described. My cleaning and grading process is very time-consuming so I really appreciate everyone's patience and repeat business!

All orders domestic and international are  shipped within 24 hours of the completed transaction!

Please read the paragraphs at the bottom of my listings for an overview of my Q.A. process.

Release Info: Capitol Records/CBS-Sony Inc. Japanese Original 1979 Release # 40AP-1750

~ Audiophile Grade >> SMOKIN' HOT Japanese 1st Pressing ~

Japanese vinyl releases are premium quality pressings, and are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors alike. Japanese vinyl pressings are synonymous with high quality. The vinyl shines brilliantly like no other vinyl! When the world renowned US company Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab first released their audiophile series of ultra-high quality vinyl pressings in the late 1970’s, the records were manufactured in Japan. The sonic quality of all Japanese pressings is considered to be among the best in the world! Plus they are beautifully presented with their covers usually printed on better quality heavy stock paper materials and often include a bonus lyric insert with dual language text. Nearly all Japanese LPs were issued with an “obi” - which literally translated means “sash.” This decorative paper strip, usually wrapped around the left side of the album jacket, contains marketing information and album content details, all printed in Japanese script. Obi’s are comparable to having the shrink wrap and stickers still present. Obi's are becoming increasingly more collectible as well. Any Japanese vinyl release which is still in excellent or NM condition is a sound investment! No pun intended...

~ Some noteworthy information on the importance and value of play-grading ~

All of the vinyl records I sell are visually graded AND play graded in their entirety. The reason being is that some major record labels were pressed on better quality vinyl and will naturally sound better than a record which was pressed on a budget label using inferior or lower quality vinyl. The point is that a vinyl record pressed on a high quality record label that was visually graded VG+ may in actuality sound better than a record pressed on a budget label that was visually graded Near Mint! Recording, engineering and pressing techniques also create variances in a vinyl record's audio or sonic quality. There may be defects in the vinyl pressing which are essentially invisible until the record is in motion on the turntable.

Identifying highly sought-after Original/1st pressings is another important quality factor. Original/1st pressings are very much akin to a 1st printing book. A good analogy is that a 1st printing book has clean fresh printing plates thus crisper/sharper text than a later printing using the same worn printing plates. Additionally, there are some notorious original/1st pressings on major labels which have very poor sound quality, but I don't want to point fingers (Atlantic, Cotillion, London).

Attentive play grading coupled with meticulous machine cleaning ensures the quality of the products I offer to the online community. Every record is handled with the utmost care whether it’s a $15 record or a $4500 collector's item!

I take my business very seriously and have great pride in the items I offer and the services I provide.
