We go to estate sales regularly and come across a wide array of unique and rare items.  We add to our growing online inventory daily.  We pick up new items from all over the world and all over the US.  We also have a growing customer wish list.  If you'd like to, feel free to add us to your saved seller's list and let us know what you collect and/or need.  We’d be honored to add you to our customer wish list.

We ask what we consider to be a fair price for anything we sell and understand that our idea of a fair price may be someone else's 'that's too much' price.  If that's the case, feel free to make us an offer and will consider it.  We also have sales regularly, so check back often.

There is always a Sale by TheBay!

We purchased a very large classical and jazz album collection from a former DJ for a local Atlanta area radio station, WBLJ in Dalton, GA, back in the 1950s-1970s awhile back.  We bought the collection for the jazz albums, but never got around to listing the classical albums.  Almost every album is a radio station promo and they are almost all in exceptional condition with jet black vinyl and many look like they could've been pressed yesterday.  We'll be listing them individually and in lots over the coming weeks since it will take awhile to list well over 1,000 albums.  If classical vinyl is your thing, feel free to add us to your favorite sellers list and check out our inventory as we add more as often as time permits.

Promo albums were among the very first albums to be pressed by the manufacturer, after test albums.  These albums were distributed to radio stations to play and promote the album prior to release for sale to consumers.  As most record aficionados know, the earlier the pressing, the better the sound quality.

Now onto the item for sale.

For sale is a promo copy of Weird Al Yankovic: In 3-D LP released by Rock n' Roll Records in the U.S. in 1984.

As you can see, the top right back corner has the gold 'for promotion only' stamp over the UPC code.  Above that is also 4315 printed in gold which we trust refers to 4315th promotional copy.

The album also has STERLING stamped into the matrices which indicates it was master engineered at Sterling Sound.

PLEASE NOTE: We do not play test albums, as that would take us a lifetime to do for thousands of albums.  We give a visual description and estimated grade of the vinyl.  Please see the pictures above for an idea of the condition of the labels, sleeves and album cover or box, if a box set.  If there are any condition issues that you can't see, such as seam splits, scratches or spots on the vinyl, we will indicate that in the description.

The vinyl on this album is exceptionally clean with no scratches.  We'd estimate this album to be in near mint condition and if you look at the hundreds of albums we have listed at any given moment, you will see we estimate albums to be near mint very very rarely.

There are a few very light marks that we see sometimes on vinyl.  They will certainly come off with a proper cleaning, such as an ultrasonic cleaning.  There are plenty of sites online as well that show you how to properly clean vinyl without an ultrasonic cleaning machine.

The labels are exceptionally clean and in excellent to near mint condition.

The sleeve is in excellent to near mint condition with no seam splits.

The cover is very clean and in excellent condition with no seam splits.

This album will be shipped in a cardboard album box via media mail with the USPS.

Thanks for looking and God bless!
