PLEASE TAKE TIME TO CAREFULLY READ THE DESCRIPTIONS BEFORE BIDDING, THANK YOU!

Thank you for viewing my auctions. I sincerely appreciate the interest and kind comments made about me and my collection in the feedback section. It's nice to know that many of you share my passion regarding the 50's and 60's and the music that changed the world, forever. It was a blessing being a teenager during the early 50's, listening, dancing and Bopping to the the best of the best.

I take a great deal of pride providing for you, rare, quality, clean and well kept albums that you will be proud to own. I also promptly ship in well sealed, safe containers.

35% of my rare albums have been shipped to the following countries: AUSTRALIA, AUSTRIA, CANADA, DENMARK, ENGLAND, FRANCE, GERMANY, ISRAEL, ITALY, JAPAN, NETHERLANDS, RUSSIA, SPAIN and SWEDEN, with the remaining 65% staying in the UNITED STATES.

Most of the albums you will be viewing are from my 50+ year old collection and are original issues. Sometimes I include albums given to me or purchased from friends or relatives. I do not go to swap meets, garage sales, or thrift stores. I do go to record conventions as time permits. You will be bidding for very rare, original issue and quality albums. Sometime I will list rare re-issues or later pressings. They will be stated as (re) in the listing. I use Goldmine Standard Catalog as a grading guideline and tend to get conservative.

All records are played through prior to listing for accurate grading.

GRADING GUIDELINES!

(NM or NM-) NM records are shiny with no visible defects such as writing, stickers or spindle marks on the labels. The album cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or any signs of human handling. It also will have no ring wear.

(VG+) or (Excellent) May show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK. The cover might be marred by a cutout marking, small hole punch, a cut in the spine or a promotional stamp and even a tiny bit of ring wear.

(VG) Will have more obvious flaws such as lack of gloss, groove wear, light scratches and needle marks. When played there will be surface noise that will not overpower the music overall. Noise in the passages, between songs is common. The cover may have minor seam splits, writing, tape, stickers, ring wear and scuffs.

(VG-) Just a compounding of the VG category. Many obvious flaws but if the record is rare, may very well be worthwhile. I usually do not list records lower the above grades.

Remember, when you are bidding, most of these records are usually 50+ years old and have been out of print for a very long time. When you consider that, damage, loss, and normal use or wear has reduced the market to the point that few of these wonderful treasures are even available today.

I ship worldwide and accept Paypal, Cashier's check, or personal check. My auctions usually close Saturday or Sunday and I ship the next day (Monday morning) with a delivery confirmation or Customs Declaration. If you are not getting your albums within a few days, check with your post office.

I have shipped over 5,000 albums since 1998 and have never had an album lost or delivered damaged.

Due to the value of my collection, I will help save you shipping fees. I have ordered special album boxes for shipping. All boxes will have four FRAGILE, Phonograph Record stickers. This is an attempt to let the postal people know they are handling sensitive boxes. There will also be a mailing conformation. Albums will have clear covers with inserts. Thank you for your interest. I hope the information is of value to you. Be sure to review my feedback and PLEASE TAKE TIME TO CAREFULLY READ DESCRIPTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. Thank you and Good luck bidding!

FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION: Purchased new and played twice, including the day of listing. You are bidding for a a beautiful, rare and near mint original 1966 pressing of Rock N' Roll Jamboree and recorded on the End label LP-302 in High Fidelity. This is the light gray label with the Dogs and valued at $150+ NM in the Goldmine Price Guide and this is one of them. The thick album cover is beautiful with no seam splits, discoloration, ring wear, writing, tape, tears or wrinkles only a small crease in the upper right corner. The liner notes in back are new looking and no discoloration, only a small inspection stamp in the upper right corner. A winning display for the music den, for sure. The thick, shiny record is just plain beautiful. Inspected under my 100 watt light, there are no scratches and few paper cuts evident. The labels are mint, no spindle marks. The songs include; Side 1, Tears On My Pillow (Little Anthony & Imperials), Song In My Heart (The Dubs), 7-11 (Gone All Stars), Could This Be Magic (The Dubs), Someone To Love Me (Ronnie Baxter), Be Sure My Love (The Dubs). Side 2, Maybe (The Chantels), Wait A Minute (Jo-Ann Campbell), Don't Ask Me Why (The Dubs), Cha Hua Hua (Eddie Platt), That's My Desire (The Channels), Two People In The World (Little Anthony & Imperials). This is a fine, fine and mighty rare in this condition, collectible for the serious minded 50's Rock & Roll Fan. I have only seen one that is nicer, my other new one never played. Based on the Goldmine Guide, the album is graded NM-, the quality of the listening experience MINT and the record NM-. There is no reserve.
