Description

Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.

New and vintage vinyl is hard to grade strictly using eBay’s system because the record and the cover are two different components. Therefore, I call a record new and mint if it is opened but has never been played.  I use the grading category to describe the cover condition.

  • This 1975 release has never been played.
  • It is a First Pressing on the orange RCA label.
  • The single piece board, gatefold cover has tight seams, a stiff spine and shows no wear.
  • This is a one-owner that the Seller got at Tower Records Boston in 1975. It has been in storage for 43 years.

  • Tracklist

A1 Everybody's A Star (Starmaker) A2 Ordinary People A3 Rush Hour Blues A4 Nine To Five A5 When Work Is Over A6 Have Another Drink B1 Underneath The Neon Sign B2 Holiday Romance B3 You Make It All Worthwhile B4 Ducks On The Wall B5 (A) Face In The Crowd B6 You Can't Stop The Music
