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 is one of my all-time favorite Christmas albums. It features fantastic arrangements of Christmas classics by the legendary Billy May and Richard Carpenter. Karen's incomparable vocals highlight this beautiful production.
- This is a White Label Promo that has never been played.
- There is a Promo sticker lower right front cover.
- 'Promotional Copy, Not For Sale" is printed on the white label.
- The single piece board cover has tight seams and shows no wear.
- The inner sleeve has lyrics.
- This is a one-owner that the Seller got new from A&M Records in 1978. It has been in storage for 41 years.
