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.

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 Double LP is a First Pressing (CBS Pitman Plant) of the original 1970 release.
  • All tracks are the original Mono recordings.
  • This compilation is a Promotional Copy that has never been played.
  • The radio station timing/promo sticker is on the front cover. 
  • Extensive liner notes by Chris Albertson.
  • The gatefold cover has tight seams, a stiff spine and shows no storage wear.
  • The original CBS Records inner sleeves are included.
  • This is a one-owner that the Seller got new from the CBS rep in his record store in 1971. It has been in storage for 49 years.
