The vinyl record is in Excellent condition - small minor scuffs and scratches that you cannot feel with you fingernail. The cover is in very good condition (some scuffs and scrapes from sliding in and out on the shelf. The sleeve has come apart along the edges from the record rubbing.
The records I am listing are all visually graded. As a guideline I have used the Goldmine Standard.
Very Good Plus (VG+): (Some would call this Excellent). Record surfaces may show some lsight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don?t affect one?s listening experience. The center hole will have not been misshapen by repeated play.
My husband worked in radio for many, many years in several markets. I believe that he is most remembered from Pittsburgh, PA where in the 60?s he did the first underground music radio show as Brother Love, one of the most colorful and creative characters in broadcasting history as quoted in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. While working behind the scenes at WAMO, which was a popular soul and R&B format, he saw potential in the growing psychedelic rock music scene. He broke from the station's format one evening a week, giving Pittsburgh a taste of the San Francisco and early psychedelic music scene. During these weekly radio freak-outs, Brother Love introduced listeners to Iron Butterfly, Country Joe and the Fish, Mothers of Invention, Jimi Hendrix and early Doors, to name a few. The show pioneered in playing adventurous music, some of which would become the backbone of FM album rock stations for decades..
As you can imagine, he collected many, many vinyl records over the years in radio. Our family toted his record collection around the country with us for many years. He lived a full and wonderful life, enjoying the work he did and the people he met. We lost him to leukemia in May. He was a beautiful person and we all miss him terribly. However. he had a dream of taking his 4 grandchildren on a trip before he got sick. It never happened. So, I want to fulfill his dream by auctioning his albums (he asked me to do this), and, then take a trip that he dreamed of the past few years since his retirement. I will list his LP albums and 45s as I can research and do leg work, so look for other auctions, and if you have any questions, write me an email. I didn't realize how much work it is to get ready to list each one.
Thank you very much for looking and bidding.
