Rainy Day Records USA (established 1981)
ALWAYS COMBINES SHIPPING TO SAVE YOU MONEY AND WE ALWAYS SHIP WITH TRACKING. YOUR SATISFACTION IS OUR FIRST PRIORITY!
From ABC Records (ABCD 931), this is THE ROYAL SCAM
by STEELY DAN. It is an original (first) pressing from May 1976,
in beautiful condition. Jacket is MINT MINUS or better; the LP play
grades MINT MINUS and better with no distortion, no startling pops or
clicks and no skips. The original inner sleeve is present and in very nice
shape (see photos). Our highest recommendation.
Wherever possible we house our vinyl in Mobile Fidelity Sound
Lab inner sleeves for the ultimate in protection; we use 6-mil
outer sleeves or polyester both being the finest protection
available for LP jackets.
These we offer FREE to all our customers!

When you buy from a small Mom & Pop business you
are not helping a CEO buy a third vacation home,
a second yacht or a four hundred million dollar golden
parachute. Instead, you’re helping a little girl get
dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey,
a Mom put food on the table, a Dad pay a mortgage,
or a student pay for college. Our customers are our
shareholders; they are the ones we strive to make happy.
Thank you for supporting small businesses.

That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.

As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they arm themselves against wonder.
