Description

Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

Album ships in a 2 MIL poly cover sleeve and a 2 MIL poly inner sleeve.

I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.

New and vintage vinyl is hard to grade strictly using eBay’s system because the record and the cover are two different components. Therefore, I call a record new and mint if it is opened but has never been played.  I use the grading category to describe the cover condition.

  • This is a First Pressing of the original 1975 release.
  • It was pressed at the MCA Pressing Plant, Gloversville, NY.
  • This copy has never been played.
  • The textured, matte paper on board cover has tight seams. The matte paper is like blotter paper and is a little flimsy so, dust and moisture soak in. That's why it looks a little discolored in the photos.
  • The original inner sleeve is included. I have added a soft poly inner sleeve.
  • This is a one-owner that the Seller got new at Tower Records Boston in 1975. It has been in storage for 45 years.
