Setting the stage:

I started to “build a record collection” of sorts about 20 years ago. I was motivated to buy vinyl because of a record player I received as a gift. What I quickly found out was that the vinyl records market is very dense and convoluted. Despite my love for music and all of its versatility, I didn’t have much direction. I simply bought what I liked to listen to, and I ended up with a “collection” of original records (i.e. first pressing) and reissues. Some purchases were of new records and some purchases were of used records, but for the last 20 years or so (subject to release date), all of the records I am offering have been in my possession. In total, I’ve accumulated just over 100 records for my “record collection”. Ultimately, these records have been collecting dust sitting on my shelves. I’ve opened and unwrapped some of the records and others are as is. Have I listened to them all? No way. I would estimate I’ve listened to about 25 of the records and some of them even a few times. Any of these records can become part of your collection now. I will be posting them in batches because compiling a discography, cataloging, and photographing all these records has been much more difficult than buying them and enjoying them. By now you can probably tell I’m not very technical with the record jargon. I’ve dedicated an immense amount of time to compiling the most accurate information to provide you about the records I am offering. I believe all of the records are in good condition at a minimum. I purchased them all from reputable record stores and not at garage sales or flea markets. That being said, I am happy to answer questions on the higher dollar items ($50+), I won’t take pictures and fulfill a bunch of random requests for the low dollar items, I just don’t have the bandwidth. In the end, I believe you will be very satisfied with your purchase. Please make sure and check out my other lots, there will certainly be something up your alley. I have priced all the items to reflect their current condition. If you disagree with my assessments please do not make the purchase. All sales items are final and I will not accept returns. Now onto the good stuff…

Michael Jackson :

The “King of Pop” was a global phenomenon whose voice, dance moves, and sheer showmanship transformed music forever. Starting as a young prodigy with The Jackson 5, Michael’s talent and charisma were evident from the start. But it was his solo career that truly redefined pop music, blending funk, disco, soul, and rock into something entirely his own. His influence spans generations, inspiring artists across every genre and corner of the globe. Known for his legendary vocals, signature moves like the moonwalk, and pioneering music videos, Jackson broke cultural and racial barriers. Albums like Thriller and Bad shattered sales records, but Off The Wall is where his superstardom truly ignited. With his unmatched ability to craft infectious hooks and emotionally rich performances, Michael Jackson remains one of the most beloved and influential artists in music history.

Off The Wall :

Before Thriller made him a pop demigod, Off The Wall showed the world that Michael Jackson was no longer just a child star, he was a full-fledged force of nature. Produced by the legendary Quincy Jones, this record is a disco/soul masterpiece packed with timeless hits like “Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough,” “Rock With You,” and the effortlessly cool “Off The Wall.” The grooves are deep, the falsetto is silky, and the energy is electric from start to finish. Off The Wall was critically acclaimed and commercially explosive, selling over 20 million copies worldwide and earning Michael his first solo Grammy. It laid the foundation for his era-defining sound and proved that pop could have both soul and sophistication. Even decades later, this album still gets the party started.
