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 is a Sugar Hill Records Promotional Copy of the original 1982 release.
- This copy has never been played.
- "The Message" is widely accepted as the first rap/hip-hop song.
- The clean corner cut upper right indicates was a Promo.
- The board cover has tight seams and has a tear in the middle of the back cover (see photo).
- This is a one-owner that the Seller got new from Sugar Hill Records in 1982. It has been in storage for 39 years.
