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.

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 Promotional Copy of the stereo version of the original 1968 release.
  • It has never been played.
  • The gold foil Promo stamp is upper right back cover.
  • Pressed on thick vinyl.
  • The paper-on-board cover has tight seams and shows slight shelf wear.
  • This is a one-owner that the Seller got new from the Columbia Records rep in his record store in 1968. It has been in storage for 52 years.
