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 multi-platinum selling double album is one of the greatest compilation soundtrack albums of all time from one of the greatest movies of all time.
  • This Promotional copy is a First Pressing that has never been played. 
  • The Promo sticker is lower left back cover.
  • The paper on board gatefold cover has tight seams, a stiff spine and shows no wear. The corner cut up right also indicates this was a Promotional Copy.
  • The original MCA inner sleeves are included. I have added soft poly inner sleeves.
  • This is a one-owner that the Seller got new from the MCA rep in his record store in 1973. It has been in storage for 45 years.
