For your consideration is a monster lot of 43 vinyl record albums representing blockbuster and rare progressive rock and hard rock albums from the 70s and 80s. This lot of records has both deep and broad collector appeal. There are some highly sought after rare prog releases in this lot, including Jade Warrior's self-titled release with the Vertigo swirl label, two Gryphon albums, Matching Mole's first US release, and much much more. There is a copy of Alice Cooper's must-own Billion Dollar Babies with the wallet gatefold and including the original $1billion banknote! And there's a super rare quadraphonic copy of Seals and Crofts here.  Many of these albums are original pressings, for exact pressing details see below. 

Each album is pictured in the listing gallery and is an accurate representation of the item's condition and appearance.

These records come from a personal collection which needs to be downsized on short notice, which is why these are being offered at auction as a lot with no reserve and low starting bid. This is a motivated seller, so be assured that all paid items will ship same day. We will be listing many genre-specific lots on short notice over the Memorial Day weekend -- so if this listing is up your alley be sure to check out our store page as we continue to add listings! We will have offerings in Soul, Jazz, Kitsch, Cinema, Punk, Progressive Rock, and much more.

All records have been lightly hand-cleaned using a clean Microfiber cloth with a mild cleaning solution of distilled water and a laboratory-grade residue-free surfactant. Each record comes in a clear poly protective jacket and has an inner sleeve which may or may not be original. 

This is a lot of mixed condition records, see the list at the bottom of the description for details and grades for each LP. Grades are according to the goldmine standard.
