Lot: 31 rock, pop, indie, jazz, promo records - VPI cleaned & sleeved Vinyl LPs

$

48

This is a lot of 31 LPs that have been VPI machine cleaned and sleeved as well as 5 bonus garage / punk 7 inch records from my personal collection. This is an awesome / fun lot of vinyl that mirrors the fun that comes with digging through the bins at your favorite record store, like in the Before (COVID) Times. Plus it's at a fun price, because records should be fun! This one is just loaded with some killer indie, garage punk, soundtracks (both movie OST and musicals), vintage pop, and even some Christmas pop discs.

I like records... a lot. In my travels I stop by a lot of record stores and pick up all kinds of records just to try them out. I always believed that records are your friends because nothing lets you get to know someone better, and I like a super wide variety of genres so I invite many people into my home! However, I do not always get along with my new house guests and I do not have a record store near me that I can trade / sell, as space is at a premium in my house (I can't get more Ikea shelves!). So once every year or two, I go through the collection and pull anything that is a duplicate (accidental purchases, switching out pressings, trading a foreign pressing for a domestic) and the records that I just never could quite get into, and I put together a lot like you are looking at right now.

I never have the time or energy to list these individually, so I do it wholesale style. Also, I am just a person who likes records (a lot) so I'm not a collector or a dealer who is going to scrutinize over conditions and sleeves and pressings and such (again, records should be fun and treating vinyl like a baseball card takes the fun out of it!). So please keep this in mind as you read it, and the extremely discounted price reflects the whole lot price along with these discs being in a wide range of conditions (from basically new to shelf-fillers). These are great titles at about $1.50 a disc, which is just unheard of.

This would be an amazing lot either for a store to resell or an individual to get a bunch of really great records (pre-cleaned and sleeved) for less than most bargain bins! There are some absolute gems that cost me quite a bit of coin mixed in with just what I'll generally consider a cool set of discs. Every record that goes into my collection gets the following treatment:

1. I clean them with my VPI 16.5 cleaner and VPI fluid (here's a video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDNulaWV0_U)

2. I remove all non-hype stickers from jackets and remove sticker residue.

3. I make sure every record gets a quality inner sleeve.

4. I put every one in a brand new 3 mil polyethylene sleeve. The bonus 7s are a mix of the two plastic sleeves, but they're all sleeved too.

All of these records have been treated to this above process. As per condition, they're all over the place because they came from many different sources, probably much like your record collection. Nobody seems to have unified grading anymore, but in my own opinion some are in gorgeous near mint shape, some are in really rough shape, but most are solid players. Some have warps, jumps, scratches, surface noise, and all of the other thing that go with used LPs. All come in their original jackets, with the exception of the radio station promo discs (ex: the “Voices” soundtrack), they were sent that way to the stations, so it's neat that it's a piece of radio's past. However, these are at just a stupidly low price so pretend that you ran across the best bargain bin in history. You are buying these at a discount, so please please please ask any and all questions before purchasing to make sure you know what you're getting as there are absolutely no returns on this lot due to the high price of shipping and low per disc cost of the lot. This is just what comes along with buying a lot of records. That being said, I always price things at a price at which I would have been elated to buy a couple years before listing, so I pass that on (a favor that seems to not be happening during these tough times, a time when we need new music the most!).

Overall, this is an awesome lot at a fantastic price that would instantly transform your individual collection or it would make an awesome resale opportunities for a store owner (either online or brick and mortar). There's nothing I would hate more than these records to get damaged in transit as I have owned them for many years and I want them to get safely to their new home. Don't miss out on this one because large lots of LPs are seldom good (or even interesting for that matter... but this one is both!), usually expensive, and never cleaned/sleeved like this one!
