Description
'The Rock Years: Portrait Of An Era is the fascinating story of sixteen years that changed our lives, in 48 of the most exciting hours of radio ever produced. They were the years rock matured, 1965 to 1980, as new music and new lifestyles created a new generation. And in The Rock Years you re-live it all: from The Beatles to Zeppelin, from Greenwich Village to Carnaby Street to Berkeley, from the revolution on campus to the sexual revolution.'
-----------------------------------
Narration for this documentary was supplied by David Perry.
This program follows the history of American & British Rock, year by year (1965-1980), in a unique study of popular music.
This is indeed a VERY RARE find. Not many of these complete sets exist today. I've sold many Westwood One radio shows on vinyl before, but never a complete set of 48 records!
-----------------------------------
The LPs are mostly NM condition, though some of them show a slight dish warp. I play tested a couple and they played through just fine. There are no jackets, as these radio shows were sent out only in sleeves.
Includes commentary as well as music
THESE WILL BE SHIPPED INSURED VIA MEDIA MAIL.
SIDE NOTE: I have over 3000 records in my collection. If you're looking for something but don't see it here, let me know.
ALSO NOTE: I've graded thousands and thousands of records. I find the goldmine standard severely lacking. There are simply too many records that fall between VG+ and NM. Please read my grading standards below:VINYL GRADING:
SS ~ Sealed records : Still sealed in original shrink wrap
MINT : Pristine, perfect and flawless. Usually reserved for sealed records
NM ~ NEAR MINT : The record should show no obvious signs of wear. The very slightest signs of use, truly near mint. May have few signs of wear on the cover and/ or few slight paper scuffs on the vinyl.
EX+ : The record will show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. There should be no obvious defects (Scratches/Warps).
EX : Light use is evident, either slight needle marks or scuffs. This grade record is still an exceptional play copy.
EX- : Use is Evident but not bad. Record has some marks, very light scratches. A good play copy with mostly visual problems.
VG++ : Use is evident. Record has marks, light scratches. Will definitely play through with no skips. Still a decent play copy.
VG+ : Average used record, looks OK, plays OK, some noise is possible. Some scratches, may be feelable, but will still play without skipping. Generally the lowest grade I put on a good turntable.
VG : Vinyl has some groove wear or several scratches or some significant scratches. This record will play with noise.
G : Significant surface noise, scratches, visible groove wear , may skip or repeat.
Grades for covers:M : perfect. no wear, square flat corners, solid seams, spine etc., Usually sealed
NM : overall appearance of front and back near perfect but may have a very small problem such as a small corner ding/couple tiny spine chips, but nothing noticeable without close inspection.
EX : as above, nice "un-handled" feel, but may have more spine wear, a bent or dinged corner or two, very light ring wear, but rarely any splits or tears.
VG++: Between VG and EX (usually closer to an EX grade), No visible water damage. Edge chipping and smaller splits possible, ring wear, and small name or writing possible but should be noted.
VG: Still has a decent overall appearance, but may have split seams, spine splits, tears, staining, water damage, or other fault
VG- to G: Significant wear.
