TIME LIFE • ROCK N' ROLL ERA • LP’S - COMPLETE SET of 40 Box Sets

Offered here is a chance to get the COMPLETE SET of 40 - 2LP Box Sets of the TIME-LIFE series THE ROCK N’ ROLL ERA. This set is from my personal collection; I ordered these from Time-Life as they were issued. You will find a list of titles below in the order they were issued and a condition grade.

All the vinyl is basically NEAR MINT, but I downgraded a handful to EX+ for a stray scuff mark. Most of the boxes are also NM- with some at EX mainly due to some minor rub wear, and there are one or two at VG+ for more moderate wear.

This is a VERY NICE COMPLETE SET. Not many chances like this one.

Also, includes the advertising pamphlet to entice you to buy the subscription - it worked.

SHIPPING NOTE: I don’t know if it’s safe to ship all in one box. I will charge as if it was one box full weight, but may send in 2 or 3 boxes, and I will absorb the extra shipping fees if I do.

Vinyl Grading System

We use the following grading system to stipulate the condition of items we offer for sale.

Mint (M)

Vinyl: Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.

Near Mint (NM or M-)

Vinyl: A nearly perfect record. A NM record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve will have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover will have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. The same will be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.

*NM- just not quite NM but much better than EX

Excellent (EX) or Very Good Plus Plus (VG++)

May have more then a few spindel marks

May have some paper scuffs, rub marks but NO scratches.

Any blemishes are only cosmetic.

Very Good Plus (VG+)

Vinyl: A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's overall listening experiences but may have minimal light background noise. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner.

Very Good (VG)

Vinyl: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers.

Good Plus (G+)

Vinyl: A record in Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.
