Other Info: This is about as good as it gets for an unsealed album of this age. The record looks almost unplayed. I worked as a record press mechanic for Capitol and I heard many of my new albums (including the very FIRST ever-pressed Dire Straights album (Sultans) on my shift and my line) play worse in the quality control room.

This buy, at almost any price, is a big winner. Pick it up. 

Inventory Number:  WHY? This is my Last Hurrah with vinyl.

I have collected for over 50 years, since 1958, in Miami, Washington DC, Pittsburgh, New York, and Chicago, and Arizona. I am selling only those albums I feel would be appropriate for the world market - not the junk and common ones. I may make a mistake now and then, but who doesn't?

We will include any album which is: in demand because of the current market, or, is unlisted or very rare. I am not going to try to make the kind of money on these albums that many other sellers require, because I will be exiting this market permanently after a relatively short time. I would like to note that I was selling records on EBay (and at the Austin Record Convention) almost ten years ago, long before most of the top sellers of today. Most of my EBay feedback/recommendations come from that period.

I have just restarted my EBay engine...When I have sold the albums I think others may want, I intend to donate the rest to my local radio station in Bisbee, Arizona. I am retired and live in Sonora, Mexico, but I have all my albums in US storage and my son will be mailing them from Arizona.

While I will not accept returns, I will trust the buyer to tell me if the album is far from the description I have given it. I will work with buyers who think I am wrong in my listing. I could be. I will try to find a resolution acceptable to both of us without a return.

 Grading

Still-Sealed Mint (SSM): The album is sealed in its original packaging and has never been played.

Mint (M-): This is the highest grade for records that have been played. The album is in excellent condition and shows no visible signs of wear or damage that will affect sound quality.

VG+: While not flawless, the condition is very good, showing only minimal signs of use. Any visible blemishes should have minimal effect on play quality. This record should satisfy all but the most strict of collectors. There may be slight ring or cover wear, or minor writing on the cover.

VG: Vinyl may have scratches and/or other visual blemishes, but should play through without skipping or repeating. Light surface noise and/or crackle may be present during quiet passages or between tracks. Covers may have moderate ring and/or edge wear, cut-outs / hole punches, or a moderate seam splits.

VG- and below: The sound quality is low and the cover may be in very poor shape. We consider any item graded at or below VG- as a LOW GRADE item. We only sell albums rated VG- and above unless a record is so rare that its presence in the collection transcends the poor quality of the vinyl or cover.

Note: Our custom grading system is not based on the Goldmine system.

Return Policy

All records are guaranteed to be in the condition stated. They cannot be returned, but I may refund the selling price if the buyer can give me a good reason. The reason for this policy is that I am liquidating my entire collection and have no need to sell at the prices commanded in the present day market. I have visually inspected the albums, but I have not necessarily played them. Please also read the personal statement above regarding returns.
