Al Kooper I STAND ALONE, Vintage Vinyl, Columbia 2-Eye Label (1968) 1st Pressing

$

25

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.

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 the great Al Kooper's debut solo album.
• This is a First Pressing (Terre Haute) with the two-eye Columbia label.
• This copy has never been played.
• The single piece board gatefold, inside loading cover has tight seams, a stiff spine and shows no wear.
• The original Columbia catalog inner sleeve is included.
• This is a one-owner that the Seller got in his record store in 1968. It has been in storage for 50 years! Yikes! That's a long time.
