Description
This is an original record, made in 1973 by "The Wailers", of Bob Marley fame. "The Wailers" is the name of the album, plus "Catch A Fire". The condition is as if it had not been played-and as I understand it, according to "The Standard of American Records", "Record Album Price Guide from"Goldmine" and "Discogs" (a very respected online web site for record collectors, buyers and sellers), it seems to fall in the catagory of "near mint" or "near mint minus"wnich NM and NM-stand for.. I have had 3 other people look at this for their opinion of condition according to the guidelines and they all agree with me. This album is NOT new, and the cover can attest to that. It is however in what I think is VG+ or VG condition. It is scuffed a bit, and a few little scratches, and there are three marks on the front where it looks as if there once was tape on it. BUT-the cover is really GREAT! It's like nothing I have ever seen, the "top" flips up, like an old butane lighter and shows the top of the lighter after the lid flips up! There still is a grommet holding the top and the bottom together and it moves up and down smoothly. I can't believe this cover-I forgot all about those kind of lighters and I'm old enough to have used them many times...ANYWAY, the cover isn't in mint condition, but it's readable, in tact and really cool. The corners and edges are worn also-please see my photographs-you can tell what it looks like pretty good from them. I realize these vintage rare records ARE rare and their collectors can sometimes have very strict and VERY high standards. If for any reason you are not happy with your purchase, I will without question honor your opinion and refund your money, including shipping. This album, along with a few more I am going to put on auction now, are the rarest ones I have seen so far from my "Discogs" collections list, which now totals 3, 983. And I still have over 3,000 left to list. I recently inherited a storage unit full of vinyl records-most are in terrific shape. So if you or any one you know are serious collectors or plan on opening up a business, please contact me through eBay about purchasing them in lots. Thanks for looking and please look at "the sellers other auctions" for more.
