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 First Pressing of an A&M Records White label Promotional Copy of the original 1977 debut album in the US.
  • This copy has never been played.
  • The promo sticker is on the front cover and 'Promotion Not For Sale' is printed on the label.
  • The cover has tight seams and shows no wear.
  • The semi-gloss inner sleeve has credits and photos.
  • This Pink Marbled 33RPM, 7" EP on A&M Records was The Stranglers first US release in 1977.
  • It has never been played.
  • The picture sleeve is Mint.
  • These are one-owners that the Seller got new from A&M Records in 1977. They have been in storage for 44 years.
