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.
Album ships in a 2 MIL poly cover sleeve and a soft poly inner sleeve.
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 the Test Pressing for Laurie Anderson's 1982 debut Warner Bros. album "Big Science".
- Has a spindle mark on one side. The playing surfaces are clean.
- Is in the original inner sleeve. I have added a soft poly inner sleeve.
- Ships in a white, generic, die-cut cover.
- This is a one-owner that the Seller got new from Warner Bros. Records in 1982. It has been in storage for 38 years.
