Front Laminated Flipback cover would grade EX but for small initials in ballpoint on back, u.l. corner. Super clean with a few small, very mild laminate/edge creases only, on front. a few very small light age marks on back near edges. All edges straight and firm with one (l.l.) lightly bumped corner tip; others sharp. Flipbacks are unusually clean with no impacted soil, dings, lift or tears. Seams and spine 100% intact with no wear or splits. Perfectly clean, smooth and flat spine with completely intact, fully legible titles.

___________________________________________________

Beginning to unfold an utterly vast and deep record collection, ferreting out the duplicates and passing them on.
My life-long best friend, who was a DJ at the Radio Station I co-founded in the 1970's - and who worked for me at my California record store in the '70s and '80s -  has now finally left this mortal coil, bequeathing me his deep Vinyl Mine. Several thousand records (mostly LP's, but also hundreds of 45's), several hundred collectible and Rare, Out of Print CDs and Box Sets, plus posters and other memorabilia - most of which will all become available as I move through the collection.
.
Always collecting everything he could - with strong tastes in rare Psych, worldwide Prog, Electronic, Space Rock, Classic '60s Rock, innovative Hard Rock, UK Blues Rock, Glam, Odd sounds, all things Tolkien and Disney, Hawaiian Slack Key and more.
.
after thousands of miles, many days spent gathering it all and several thousand dollars spent flying out to California and trucking it all back to my new home, the tip of the iceberg now emerges
 - a few choice pieces off the top, listed at set price to recoup some expenses now. I'm not yet near ready for the full-scale auctions that are planned to begin soon.
We had very similar tastes - so numerous prime duplicates will be listed. Many PROMOS, IMPORTS and 1st PRESSINGS will be included - indeed some still sealed.
.
Following soon, I will begin listing the LP's first, mostly at auction, with low opening bids - starting with the Prog, Electronic and Space Rock, then the Psych and on from there. You WON'T want to miss those!! (it may take me several weeks (months?) to list them all... still only part-way through opening all the LP boxes - checking Pressing, Edition and condition (most so far are VG++ to NM). It's all coming soon... .
.
Following the LP's will be either the CDs or the 45's next - and then ultimately the posters and other paper.
Truly a great (and enormous) collection!
.
...so many boxes, the process continues. It may be a while until I can organize
my 1st auction series of at least 100 LP auctions at one time,
but mark/save this listing/eBay ID and check back.

Diligent collectors WILL be rewarded!
