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 is a First Pressing of the original 1969 release.
  • 'Hi James' and 'That's All Folks' are etched on sides 1 & 2 of the dead wax.
  • This copy has never been played but there is an apparent manufacturing blemish between tracks 5 & 6 on Side 1 (see photo). I don't know if it will create any surface noise.
  • A 12x24 fold-out insert includes lyrics and a photo.
  • The paper-on-board cover has tight seams and shows no wear.
  • The generic WB inner sleeve is included.
  • This is a one-owner that the Seller got new in his record store in 1969. It has been in storage for 52 years. Yikes! That's a long time.
