Description

For Sale -  Devo Freedom of Choice Vinyl LP  BSK 3435 1980 first release US with printed inner sleeve. Pictures are part of description.  
This record was purchased by me on release around 1980. I used a Phillips 212-A Turntable with a Grado cartridge and I always handle my records with the thumb and index finger method (no edge pinching) I use the Diskwasher method of preening the dust off the record at all plays and flips per side. Kept in a smoke free, pet free household. 
I did a radio show back in the day and was exposed to a lot of music, if I wasn't on the air, I was listening to the radio. The Station was a local College station and another was a user supported independent radio station. DJ's competed on who could find the best music and many records were ordered as imports. This is not a flea Market Record, if you decide to purchase this record you are getting a quality record that you know you are the second owner and can preserve and enjoy for many years to come. 
Many items on Ebay are posted in a hurry and there is no information or back story on the item. I understand that, some items may be purchases in bulk and the seller has different motivations.  
So, for you information, here is my thoughts on the selling of my record collection. I have been buying and enjoying vinyl records for many years, but now I am older and my kids do not seem interested in collecting and listening to vinyl records, so if you are a collector, you are in luck, here is a chance to own some clean and well taking care of original releases. Is the records I own Mint or Near Mint, no, because I played them and enjoyed them, so I see them as Very Good Plus according to record collecting standards. Am I in a hurry to sell them?  No they don't eat and I don't have any space/storage issues, so for me, I am going to ask a fair market value as I do the research using the discogs dot org website. 
I have seen new vinyl LP albums for sale at the local music store and they are re-releases, some with no fold-outs or printed inner sleeves and those albums on average are about 25 dollars. Will those re-releases be worth more 20 years from now than the album that was released 35 to 40 years ago when the music group first released the album? I think not. So is my album that I purchased new at release 30 years ago worth at least 25 dollars and even more in the future? This is my view of the records I am selling. I see my records as collectibles and if taken care of, will have even more value than what you payed for them today. This is my opinion and is subject to change, however, If you want a cheap copy of an album and you do not care where it came from, there are plenty available on Ebay. If you have taken the time to read my rant and you understand my viewpoint and you want to get a good solid record, you can buy with confidence. 
Thanks for looking! Happy Ebaying
I ship all my albums in a record mailer with cardboard protectors on the vinyl record in a sleeve and the Jacket inside a plastic sleeve.
