Year, Label, Edition# (printed on album): 1973 CBS Columbia KC 32111.  I bought this LP new at Full Moon Records in Rochester Michigan in 1974.
Record Grading (per Goldmine website): NM- (shiny flat, no warpage, no visual scratches, I closely inspected it 3 times, when looking into a light).  Played without flaws last time I listened to it in the late 1980’s.  Next play it needs to be cleaned (I can’t do it since I no longer have a Discwasher).

Record History & Storage Care:  I no longer listen to my vinyl records and decided to sell my entire personal collection.  Very hard decision for me. I started collecting records 1973.  All my records were purchased NEW from Korvettes, Hudsons, Dearborn Music, Repeat the Beat, Record Outlet, Tower Records, or Schoolkid Records (all in the Detroit/Ann Arbor area).  For over 40 years, my records have been stored on a vertical shelving unit.  Whatever outside cover wear exists, it is from sliding the records in/out from storage.  They have never been stored in an attic.  I stopped listening to my albums in 1998.

Record Care & Handling:  My life’s record care was immaculate and I never touched any of my record grooves.  I’ve always handled my albums with my right thumb on the record edge and my fingers by the center hole.  Whenever I did listen to my albums, I used the Discwasher Record Care System.  I never stacked record-on-record, and always put the vinyl back into its sleeve after listening to it.  I also made sure my needle was clean and bought a new one every ~5 years.

Packaging & Shipping:  I make my own sturdy cardboard shipping packages & place the record(s) in large oversized acid-free sleeves/bags. I seal & protect the package with 8 layers of industrial tape, and highlight “DO NOT BEND” on the package.
