Description

Please Read Full Description and See Pictures 


This is one of my first auctions.  So I am highly motivated to make every transaction as close to perfect as I can.  This why I keep my prices very reasonable, as I want to gain credibility with the bay community.  My goal is to make this into a business account, and make it my full time job.  


My family runs a rock radio trade publication.  My father used to be a DJ, so I have been immersed in the music industry all my life.  That being said, I have an abundance of memorabilia, test pressings, acetates etc.  95% of my regular vinyl collection are comprised of all first pressings/masters (I always check the dead wax, and wear cotton anti-static gloves while doing so) So please add me to your watch list, as I will have many more high quality items for sale.


  My father used to be a DJ, so I have been immersed in the music industry all my life.  If for any reason you believe I deserve less than 100% positive feedback, please contact me before you leave it and I will resolve any issue you may have had.  My aim to make this into a business, therefore I want to provide excellent product, service, and an overall pleasurable transaction for you.  Thank you, evanashley84.


GRADING

This record is still SEALED NEVER OPENED/USED (on the back the plastic seal has a rip in it see pics.. it does not affect the media in any way) , therefore I cannot grade the media (see pics).  I can only assume that it is [NM+].  I never use [M] to grade records, or most anything.  Nothing is perfect.  It is definitely fit for any Audiophile/collector.  I have posted all the pics that eBay will allow.  I want you to see what you are (hopefully) purchasing.  Please ask any questions that you may have. I welcome them, and will answer them to the best of my ability (and as promptly as possible).
