THIS ITEM IS NEW
AND UNPLAYED. Used items will
include condition details for the cover, disc, inserts, etc.
NOTE TO POTENTIAL BUYERS:
If the jacket or disc (unless sealed) is punched, marked, or cut in any
manner, denoting a promotional/review copy, I will state that as part of the
item description. Also if an issue is a "music club" edition, that
will be noted in the item description. (The below information was last updated
10/08/22)
If you have any questions or if you have additional information,
especially corrections, to the description, please e-mail me. I particularly
enjoy when an artist, band member, or someone who has personal background
knowledge of a particular album/artist and offers their insight/information of
that recording, which I will include with the description for future listings
of that release. As a collector of many years, part of the hobby side for me is
to learn about the background of the artists and music that I collect. Hopefully,
sharing some of this information in my descriptions will help educate and
enhance your listening experience.
All LPs are removed from their jackets and placed
outside of the jacket for shipping. If an album comes sealed (and will be noted
as such in the above description), it will be shipped whole unless you request
that I open it up to place the disc outside of the jacket for shipping. Both
jacket and disc are placed inside of an outer plastic sleeve before packing for
shipping. I use professional corrugated record mailers with inside packing.
PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER CURRENTLY LISTED ITEMS AND EBAY STORE.

Sealed LP or Factory Sealed LP.
NEW LP: This item is new and unplayed, but was received from
a supplier without being shrink wrapped or cellophane wrapped; more common on

MIX: This sometimes
appears in my title line and refers to a group's/artist's music having a mix of
styles such a rock track with jazz then followed by a straight rock track
followed by a psych rock track, etc., as opposed to a blues album with the
album's tracks having predominantly one style.
