Description
Hello. Up for sale are 8 LPs. There are 8 in the batch because that’s how many will fit comfortably into an LP mailer. The LPs were pulled off my record shelf in random order – thus the randomness of the selection. Use the “Buy It Now” feature and I’ll hoist a shot of bourbon to you. Since my other three LP auctions have yet to receive any bids, this will no doubt be my last posting for LPs. I'll simply will my collection to one of my kids, if I have any out there.

Here’s what you’ll get in batch #4. Please keep in mind that what I call NM, a collector with a bright light and a magnifying glass would probably call VG+. I’ll let you decide when you get them.
1. Mr. Fantasy by Traffic, United Artists UAS 6651. Cover VG (worn, no splits), Record NM.
2. The Siegel Schwall Band, Wooden Nickel WNS-1002. Cover NM, Record NM. This one has a gatefold cover – just forgot to take a photo of it.
3. Omnibus, United Artists UAS 6743. Cover (very strong) VG+, Record VG+. What’s not to like about songs with titles such as: The Man Song; Shake It Off; Boogus Black and Blues; and Big Daddy Slave. I no longer have any record price guides, but I’ll bet this one is forever climbing.
4. Morrison Hotel by The Doors, Elektra EKS 75007. Cover (very strong) VG+, Record NM.
5. A Collection of Golden Hits, Mercury MG 20213. Cover VG+, Record somewhere between VG and VG+. Contains hits by The Platters, The Diamonds, The Crewcuts, and The Gaylords.
6. Lovers Luau by Les Paul and Mary Ford, Columbia CL 1276. Cover VG+, Record VG+.
7. Oh Lonesome Me by Don Gibson, RCA Victor LPM-1743. Cover (strong) VG+, Record VG+. Doesn’t that photo look like Steven Segal?
8. Gladys Knight and the Pips Superstar Series, Motown M5-113V1. Cover NM, Record (strong) VG+.
Some of you might remember me as the guy who published The Soundtrack Collector back in the 90s. That and three bucks will buy me a cup of coffee. I still maintain a rather large collection of oddball LPs of which these were part. Since I haven’t listened to any LPs in perhaps 10 years or more, it’s time to unload. Watch for more LP auctions over the next two weeks. You’ll no doubt spot a few Dr. Demento titles, some collector items, and the typical thrift store fodder. Again, you decide.
The winning bidder to pay $4 for media shipping with delivery confirmation. Sorry, no Canada or Overseas with this auction. Thanks and good luck!
PS. I now collect 16mm films (mostly Home Movies). If you’ve got film stock and want to trade for LPs, feel free to contact me.
