Description
Hello, I am a long-time eBay seller - since October, 1999. I have a 100% feedback record, so bid and buy with confidence. I have collected records for many years and every record I offer comes from my personal collection. The grade I specify for the vinyl is based upon a playback as well as a visual inspection. The grade I assign for the cover and inserts (if any) is based upon a close visual inspection. My grading standards are conservative - I believe that it does no one any good to inflate the grade of the record only to have the buyer be disappointed upon receipt and wish to return it. I offer a full, no-questions-asked return policy on every record I sell except in very rare circumstances. In those rare cases, I clearly state the condition of the record and explain why I cannot accept a return on it.
For sale today is a wonderful copy of Hold On I'm Coming issued by Sam & Dave and released in 1966. This is the stereo version of the album (SD-708) on the yellow Stax label (the stereo issue is a bit more rare and desirable than the mono version).
As to condition, the vinyl both looks and plays Near Mint (I would say Mint, but most reserve that grade for an album that has just been opened and never played - but that is how this one looks and sounds!). It lies flat, and retains all of its original sheen and shine. And it sounds fantastic - no pops, no crackle, no problems!
The outer cover is in its original shrink wrap and also grades Near Mint. Colors are full and vibrant, front and back. All corners are sharp and square. Spine is full and complete, no splits or tears. The only issues are: (1) there is some black color underneath the shrink wrap on the back cover (near the spine and a little bit towards the bottom seam) that was probably caused by age and mild wear from storing the album over the past 50+ years; and (2) there is some residue (not sticky) on the back cover from where someone removed the original price sticker. Neither issue is unsightly or alarming, but I mention both for accuracy and completeness in the description (see photo).
The labels are in similar Near Mint shape.
This does not come with the original inner sleeve. However, since I purchased this album, I have stored the vinyl in an archival inner sleeve, which I then placed in a separate cardboard cover to best protect both the vinyl as well as the original outer sleeve (see photo). Both the archival inner sleeve and the generic white outer cover will be included with the purchase and the record will be shipped in them to best protect the original outer cover as well as the vinyl.
All in all, a terrific example of this great album by Sam & Dave! Thanks for looking.
