$

30

Local Michigan music legend Ronnie Fray recorded and released his fifth and by consensus best album, Put This In Your Ear, in 1980. This folk rock cult  classic is hard to come by on vinyl as it was released on a limited run private pressing. There was  a CD reissue a few years back but even that is OOP at this point. This entire album is comprised of tight swinging originals by Fray and his band members.
A laid back rocking album that needs to be heard by anyone who enjoys music. There's some cuts from this album that are available on youtube if you are interested
vinyl: Glossy NM ~ just a few fine paper lines visible under light
jacket: VG+ moderately worn
sound: gorgeous! Clean playback.
ABOUT ME
BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MY OTHER AUCTIONS. I HAVE ABOUT 2,500 COLLECTIBLE RECORDS ACQUIRED OVER THE YEARS THROUGH RECORD STORES AND RADIO STATION AUCTION SALES. THEY ARE MOSTLY ROCK, POP, SOUL FOLK AND R&B TITLES. A FEW JAZZ TITLES. MY RECORDS ARE WELL CARED FOR; I MOSTLY OWN RECORDS IN VG+ CONDITION AND UP. ANY THING UNDER VG+ IN MY COLLECTION IS THERE CAUSE IT IS EITHER A GREAT RECORD OR IT IS HARD TO FIND.
I GRADE FAIRLY, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY I PROVIDE DETAILED INFO ON EACH TITLE SO THE BUYER CAN BE AWARE OF WHAT THEY ARE GETTING. ANYONE CAN ASSIGN A GRADE TO A RECORD BUT NOT EVERYONE WILL TELL YOU WHAT THE RECORD SOUNDS LIKE.
PAYMENT INFO

TO SIMPLIFY THE PROCESS I ONLY ACCEPT PAYMENTS VIA PAYPAL. PAYMENT IS DUE WITHIN 4 DAYS. AT THE END OF THE FOURTH DAY AN UNPAID ITEM CASE IS AUTOMATICALLY FILED BY EBAY. BE SURE TO CONTACT ME IN ADVANCE IF YOU NEED EXTRA TIME.

             RECORD GRADING

I DO NOT GRADE SOUND! ALL GRADING ARE CONSERVATIVE AND VISUALLY BASED. MY GOAL IS TO DESCRIBE THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE ITEM AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE. ALL RECORDS ARE PREVIOUSLY CLEANED BEFORE VISUAL GRADING TO ENSURE ACCURACY.

GRADING SOUND IS FUTILE BECAUSE SOUND IS AFFECTED BY PICK UP EQUIPMENT. WHAT I WILL DO IS PLAY TEST THE RECORD WITH MY $1,000.00 CARTRIDGE AND REPORT WHAT I HEARD AND THE BUYER CAN MAKE THEIR OWN JUDGEMENT.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE WILL I PROMISE A BUYER THAT A ANY RECORD EVEN A SEALED ONE IS FREE OF MARKS, HAIRLINES, FINE LINES OR MICRO LINES. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A RECORD IN ALL MY YEARS OF COLLECTING.EVEN A BRAND NEW RECORD IF YOU TAKE IT OUT AND EXAMINE IT UNDER STRONG LIGHT WILL SHOW A FEW SPECS OF LINES. NEAR MINT OR MINT DOES NOT IN ANY WAY IMPLY THAT A RECORD IS PERFECT. 

I DO NOT HAVE ANY PERFECT VINYL IN MY COLLECTION AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE.

             SHIPPING INFO
