Description
Today I am listing the last of my vinyl - please also see my other auctions. They are all from my personal collection. I bought this LP new in 1979.
I am the only person that has ever handled this LP. It was lovingly played in the early 1980s on a Kenwood KD500 turntable equipped with an Infinity Black Widow Tonearm and a Micro Acoustics 2002e or Grado F1+ cartridge. A very high-end setup in those days. I can't stress enough how carefully I cared for my vinyl. Light (1.5 rotations) cleaning with a Discwasher before every play, never left out to get dusty, and always properly stored in the original sleeve and jacket. Regularly checked turntable setup (tracking force, speed, anti-skating, stylus cleanliness and condition). Baby came in 1985, so this has been on the shelf ever since.
As you can see from the photos, everything is there, is original and is in excellent condition, except it is missing the external plastic jacket cover. Unfortunately, I took the plastic off of the jacket and there are some fingerprints and minor scuffs on the jacket exterior - but no tears or major problems. The glare in the photography greatly exaggerates the scuffs, especially along the lower edge. In real life the lower edge of the jacket looks no different than the rest of it. Good spine and corners. The Inside foldout is perfect.
The disc itself is beautiful. If I were going to guess, I'd say that I've played it less than 10 times. I last played it in 1985, and it was still mint. I have no reason to believe it is not just as good today, but I don't have a turntable to be sure. To my eyes under a bright light, it looks near perfect - no visible scuffs and no scratches.
Shipping is going to be a simple flat $4.00 anywhere in the continental US.
