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 First Pressing has never been played.
  • It is on the Bizarre/Reprise label.
  • Captain Beefheart is the vocalist on "Willie The Pimp".
  • Shuggy Otis, Jean-Luc Ponty and Sugar Cane Harris are also on this record.
  • The paper on board gatefold cover has tight seams and shows some storage wear.
  • The original Warner/Reprise catalog inner sleeve is included. I have included a soft poly inner sleeve.
  • This is a one-owner that the Seller got new in his record store in 1969. It has been in storage for almost 50 years.
