PRODUCT INFORMATION
All RadioActive Everything Products are Brand New and/or manufacturer sealed, unless otherwise noted.
Up for bid is Jimmy Buffett's highly-rare debut album "Down To Earth", the original 1970 album on the Barnaby label (Z-0093). This album has been sought after by Buffett fans and collector's alike, for years. In my initial years of vinyl collecting I searched every nook & cranny of used record stores and collector shops for this album, and never found it in a combination condition I was satisfied with/ price I could afford. This copy is exactly what I was searching for in those days, a nice, playable, aesthetically pleasing, collection copy. It's not in "mint" or NM condition. It probably fits more neatly into the VG category (I don't grade the record & cover separately, neither do any serious collectors). It has a few imperfections on the cover a CC (cut cover), on lower right corner (acceptable to collector's), some moderate ring wear, and some minor seam splitting. There is a 'return to' address label affixed to the back cover that I assume must have been the original owner's address. The record itself is in passable collector quality as well, minor surface scratches that don't affect listening quality, and a few minor spindle marks. The blotches seen in the photos are reflections of light, not blemishes or flaws. As a long-time collector I'm very strict on my grading system when it comes to vinyl; It was primarily influenced by one of the southwest's great collector/record store owner's; Dave Eckstrom of Forever Young Records in Grand Prairie, TX and Jerry Osborn's "Rockin' Records". This record in NM to Mint (prime collector condition), is currently valued at $150-250. Given the condition of this particular copy, rarity considered, I'm willing to start the bidding at $60! Most others on here would start a copy like this at $120 or more. Happy bidding!
