Description

Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

Album ships in a 2 MIL poly cover sleeve.

I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.

New and vintage vinyl is hard to grade strictly using eBay’s system because the record and the cover are two different components. Therefore, I call a record new and mint if it is opened but has never been played.  I use the grading category to describe the cover condition.

  • This Island Records Promotional Copy is a First Pressing of the original 1978 release.
  • This was Third World's best album and features a fantastic cover of the O'Jays 1973 classic "Now That We Found Love" written by Gamble-Huff.
  • This copy has spindle marks on one side and the playing surfaces are clean.
  • The gold foil Promo stamp is on the front cover.
  • The single piece board cover has tight seams and shows no wear.
  • The board inner sleeve has Island records catalog on both sides.
  • This is a one-owner that the Seller got new from Island Records in 1978. It has been in storage for 42 years.
