PLEASE TAKE TIME TO CAREFULLY READ THE DESCRIPTIONS BEFORE BIDDING, THANK YOU!
35% of my rare albums have been shipped to the following countries: AUSTRALIA, AUSTRIA, BELGIUM, CANADA, DENMARK, ENGLAND, FRANCE, GERMANY, ISRAEL, ITALY, JAPAN, NETHERLANDS, RUSSIA, SPAIN, SWEDEN and SWITZERLAND, with the remaining 65% staying in the UNITED STATES.
Most of the albums you will be viewing are from my 50+ year old collection and are original issues. Sometimes I include albums given to me or purchased from friends or relatives. I do not go to swap meets, garage sales, or thrift stores. I do go to record conventions as time permits. You will be bidding for very rare, original issue and quality albums. Sometime I will list rare re-issues or later pressings. They will be stated as (re) in the listing. I use Goldmine Standard Catalog as a grading guideline and tend to get conservative.
All records are played through prior to listing for accurate grading.
GRADING GUIDELINES!(NM or NM-) NM records are shiny with no visible defects such as writing, stickers or spindle marks on the labels. The album cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or any signs of human handling. It also will have no ring wear.
(VG+) or (Excellent) May show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK. The cover might be marred by a cutout marking, small hole punch, a cut in the spine or a promotional stamp and even a tiny bit of ring wear.
(VG) Will have more obvious flaws such as lack of gloss, groove wear, light scratches and needle marks. When played there will be surface noise that will not overpower the music overall. Noise in the passages, between songs is common. The cover may have minor seam splits, writing, tape, stickers, ring wear and scuffs.
(VG-) Just a compounding of the VG category. Many obvious flaws but if the record is rare, may very well be worthwhile. I usually do not list records lower than the above grades.
Remember, when you are bidding, most of these records are usually 50+ years old and have been out of print for a very long time. When you consider that, damage, loss, and normal use or wear has reduced the market to the point that few of these wonderful treasures are even available today.
I ship worldwide and accept Paypal, Cashier's check, or personal check. My auctions usually close Saturday or Sunday and I ship the next day (Monday morning) with a delivery confirmation or Customs Declaration. If you are not getting your albums within a few days, check with your post office.
I have shipped over 5,000 albums since 1998 and have never had an album lost or delivered damaged.Due to the value of my collection, I will help save you shipping fees. I have ordered special album boxes for shipping. All boxes will have four FRAGILE, Phonograph Record stickers. This is an attempt to let the postal people know they are handling sensitive boxes. There will also be a mailing conformation. Albums will have clear covers with inserts. Thank you for your interest. I hope the information is of value to you. Be sure to review my feedback and PLEASE TAKE TIME TO CAREFULLY READ DESCRIPTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. Thank you and Good luck bidding!
FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION: You are bidding for a very rare 1962 original first pressing of Good Good Twistin' by James Brown and his Famous Flames, recorded on the King Label 780 in High Fidelity. This is the Black Crownless King Label with Silver Print. The song Shout And Shimmy is on the Cover and the label and is valued for $250+ NM in the Goldmine Price Guide. The thick album cover is in very good condition for its age. There is no discoloration, ring wear, tears or wrinkles. The seams have been neatly repaired and scuffs are evident. The liner notes in back are in good condition. There is a store stamp near the top of the cover. The black record has retained much of its glossy look and the labels are clean, showing only light spindle marks from use. I inspected the record under a 100 watt light and there was only one small 1/5" feelable scratch, scuffs and surface scratches that did not overwhelm the listening experience. I also played the record just prior to listing. There were no stick and one quick skip. There were some surface noise and pops, many between the songs but did not hinder a very good listening experience overall. The songs include; Side 1, I Don't Mind, Shout And Shimmy, Tell Me What You're Gonna Do, Good Good Lovin', Have Mercy Baby, Begging Begging. Side 2, Love Don't Love Nobody, Dancing Little Thing, Come Over Here, You Don't Have To Go, Just Won't Do Right. A rare collectible and based on the Goldmine guide, the album is graded VG, the listening experience VG and the record VG-. There is no reserve.
