Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

Album ships in a 2 MIL poly cover sleeve and 2 MIL poly inner sleeve.

I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.

New and vintage vinyl is hard to grade strictly using eBay’s system because the record and the cover are two different components. Therefore, I call a record new and mint if it is opened but has never been played.  I use the grading category to describe the cover condition.

• Here's a Mint Condition record in a Near Mint gatefold cover.
• The record has the black Capitol label with the colorband.
• This copy has never been played.
• Based on the matrix and the fact that the original issue has ("No You're Not" said Little Nicola) under the "I Am The Walrus" title in block print and not cursive as in later issues, this copy appears to be a US First Pressing of the stereo version.
• The 24-page book is stapled to the spine. It is also in Mint Condition.
• I have also included a Bonus 20"x 30" poster. I had the poster separately but am including it with this album. The poster had never been unfolded until I shot the photo (see photos). I'm not sure but the poster may have been in an insert in later reissues that did not include the book.
• The paper on board gatefold cover has tight seams, a stiff spine and shows no wear.
• The original plain white inner sleeve is included. I have added a soft poly inner sleeve.
• This beauty is a one-owner that the Seller got new in his record store in 1969. It has been in storage for almost 50 years!
