Beautiful LP looks unplayed. Side A is NM. Side 2 is VG+ has a few wispy residue marks from original paper sleeves or is subsurface haze from when originally pressed. Either way should not affect play. I’ve had this record along with most of Sam Cooke’s catalogue on wax for 20+ years. This was / is my only copy. Can’t recall playing it..certainly not within the 2000’s. I have a great Japanese 3LP Cooke compilation that I play whenever I hear Sam’s sweet voice calling in the wind.
Cover is in VG condition. Would be VG+ EASY if not for damage, wear, staining to top right corner Sees pictures.
See feedback from most recent sales. Have sold quite a few rare records recently that ended with some pretty high prices. All customers have been extremely satisfied with their purchases. I’m not a professional seller for a living. Just a dude looking to pare back a massive collection.
After 25 plus years of collecting music on all media formats I have decided to sell the Crown Jewels. I now realize that many of these LPs became ‘prestige’ pieces that have sat on shelves collecting dust, figuratively speaking. Treated / kept most of my rare LPs like they are pieces of art. I have not played most of these records as in most cases I would have a reissue player copy or second copy.
Offered to discerning collectors at no reserve and insanely low starting bid. I will be listing a lot of rare LPs and some CD sets across many genres over the next few weeks and months to come. Slowing selling off massive collection that at this point I have come to realize has been largely just glanced at. Bid with confidence. See my seller feedback. I don’t sell often ...but when I do it’s always quality items and service to match. Do not fear ..I realize the value of these records and package accordingly. See feedback in specific regards to the care I take to make sure you’re delivered what was promised quickly. I can’t include pictures of the oversized mailers I use as I maxed out the allotted number of the record and cover. I only handled and photographed any record listed with gloves on. Please excuse any glare or mirror images of me photographing / chandelier above table I took pictures on. Email with any questions. I aim to please & hope these records find a happy new home. Thank you & truly appreciate your interest.
