All Vinyl items up for auction are from Pert's store, “Frank’s Music Collectibles” and the wholesale outlet, “Frank’s Music Distributors” from the 1980’s and 1990’s.

All vinyl records were placed in plastic sleeves to protect the cardboard sleeves.

We imported vinyl from Japan, Europe and UK as most items were shipped to us with no shrink wrap (as US record company's) covering, thus protecting the cardboard sleeve.  Most Japanese records had an open poly vinyl thin bag that provided protection, but still was “unsealed” while being “brand new”.  Some Japanese Records were heated shrink wrap plastic (like US Record releases) with a "R" or "T" within a white square only on the back plastic shrink wrap to protect and signify "Factory Sealed" Records.  When "Import Records" arrived naked or unprotected, we would place the items/records in unheated shrink wrap plastic wrap without shrinking (heating) the plastic.   This would protect the item from any “shop wear”. All of our vinyl that is listed as “Still Sealed – New - Mint minus” is in fact – unplayed, untouched and in the exact condition we received the item from the country of origin went shipped in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s. 

"Imports" had their own specific locations in record stores in the '70's and '80's and were collectible to the fans as they could have different covers/jackets, tracks or bonus tracks.  We would like to invigorate the Import high that is no longer influencing the minds and wallets of the music buying public.  Please write and give me your thoughts on "Imports" and let me know what YOU think...thanks!

Please ask us any questions concerning the vinyl items we are now posting for sale……Most are truly “One-Of-A-Kind” in the stated condition and issue….. PBN
