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 a Columbia records "360 Sound", Double-Eye logo First Pressing of the original 1968 release.
  • Pressed at Santa Maria.
  • This copy has never been played.
  • Includes a 22"x 33" fold-out poster that had never been unfolded until I took these photos.
  • The paper-on-board cover has tight seams and shows slight storage wear.
  • Includes the original Columbia catalog inner sleeve.
  • This is a one-owner that the Seller got new in his record store in 1968. It has been in storage for 53 years.
