PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING.
________________________________________________________________

SHIPPING NOTES.
Yes, I will combine shipping.
Multiple purchases and albums above $20,

will be insured at my discretion.



THESE RECORDS HAVE BEEN FLUID CLEANED/VAC-CLEANED WITH A "NITTY GRITTY" MACHINE AND MANY HAVE BEEN “LAST-TREATED” TO IMPROVE ITS SOUND.
Details below.

I have sold MANY LP's on ebay.
My feedback is self-evident.
Unless you buy multiples, I use LP corrugated mailers to ship.

You will not see "MINT" ratings in my auctions. ("MINT," to me, means sealed and un-played.) All these have been opened...and played.

The ratings here apply to VINYL ONLY. I DO NOT RATE JACKETS or INSERTS. Look @ the pics. WYSIWYG. <<Please re-read this...twice.

I am not a record dealer. Everything you see listed is part of my own collection.
I have a neurological condition that makes my hands shake. I can no longer handle my tonearm.
Years ago, I sold off many spares, doubles or albums I rarely listened to. All my auctions from this moment on, are LP's I had kept for myself in hopes of 'shake remission.'
The albums are truly the cream of my own lifetime collection.
Every LP you see in my present listings has been kept because after trying several releases, these were the releases that sounded the best to me. In some cases, I owned more than one copy of the same pressing...if so, I kept the one in better shape...or with less surface noise. My own "holiest of holy" LP's.If you want jacket condition info beyond what the pics provide, ask me before bidding and I will have a closer look for you. (Not three hours before auction end, please.)
ALL VINYL, has been put into plastic sleeves. I have retained the original inner jackets in nearly all cases. If you do not see it in the picture, do not assume it's there.

I photo all inserts. If one is not in the pics, I do not have it or have a different pressing that didn't come with an insert.
ALSO=(Obviously, the lens cap is not up for auction...and it has made it into several pics in up-coming listings. Same goes for the lamps you will see in the pics. ...and my fingers, those are not included in the auction either.)

Every LP you will see coming up, unless otherwise noted, has been cleaned on my Nitty Gritty. (YES, I use the most-insane-priced soft cleaning pads on the market. YES, it really can make a HUGE difference.)

Some records have cleaning marks on them, also called a "watermark." This is normal for certain pressings after cleaning.
There are some with handling marks also. If I see it, I will show it, or put mention of it right at the top of the specific-LP's auction.
The great majority of this run are all from the "holiest of holy" vault of my own personal LP's.

If you see a date sticker on an album jacket, it is the date the vinyl was Nitty Gritty cleaned. (Most often, when I actually bought the record new.)
I also applied LAST to many of my LP's after cleaning. If you see a LAST sticker, the album has been treated. (Most, in the 80's.)

If you see dust on an album in one of the pics, please do not freak. I cannot photo them in my sound/clean-room and dust happens. The records you see without pics of vinyl are most often only-played-twice albums. See notes in each specific auction.
ALL vinyl is de-static'd and brushed with a superb record brush before returning them to the wrapper after photos were taken.
The great majority of these were bought new, by me.
90% of the collection begins in the mid 60's and except for a few recent Calexico LP's, ends with the early 2000's.

We do NOT smoke. None of our vinyl or audio gear smoked, either.
(Actually, some of the reggae albums...)

COLLECTORS: If you bid, please don't be "that guy:"

"That guy" is the one who sees an auction for all of three seconds, sets his sniper to bid, then whines like a baby with messy pants when he finds a flawless $3.65 LP, but a mark on the jacket...so he wants a refund. (A mark, BTW that was clearly pictured (and mentioned...) right in the auction.)
If you are "that guy," PLEASE block me right now...then go do business with a record-bin-merchant elsewhere.  
These LP's are going to be cherished by sound-hounds, not beanie baby collectors. The type of person who buys four, five or even six of the same album from different countries, seeking the best pressing for sound. The guys who have more money into their audio than their house.
^^^If this describes you, my ebay auctions are going to tickle your vinyl/audio funny bone over the next few months.
