I'm selling my personal record collection in preparation for moving.

This album may have never been played. I was a staff writer for 3 music-oriented publications back in the '70s and early '80s and record companies would send me copies of their new releases for possible review. Since this was not an album I was reviewing, it would have gone straight onto my record shelves.
