Z-FACTOR LP By Z-FACTOR On MITCHBAL RECORDS

I have been spinning and collecting records since the mid 80’s.  My collection consists of a wide array of music mostly made up of disco, Chicago label house music of the 80’s and 90’s, some Detroit techno as well as classic and obscure Italo.  My collection has a strong presence of items from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and some from the 00’s.  Those who know me in the Chicago and New York area know that my collection has some very unique items.  While I don’t have everything, I do have very very many of those songs played on WBMX and WGCI throughout the 80’s.

Sadly the time has come for me to unload some of my most prized items as well as some of my extra copies of other things.  I will be posting some items that I consider to be rare and those items will have serious reserves.  Most other items will be posted without any reserves and will sell at whatever the market will bare.

I will be using my best judgment when describing each item’s condition and I will be posting one picture with each auction.  I do have the ability to provide sound clips but will need a few days to do it.  For those wishing to hear a sound clip, I only ask that you be legitimately interested in the respective auction.

Describing record conditions are subjective in my opinion so I will not be issuing refunds for items that are differentiation in interpretation of condition unless I am grossly misrepresenting the auction.  In other words, if I lie, I will be glad to issue a refund but I won’t be issuing a refund for an item that I call very good that someone else feels is just good.  Where I list my records, I do not have the ability to listen to the each item’s condition.  However each record will be cleaned with a record cleaner and it will be visually graded on the following level:

Mint = unopened

Excellent = appears to be played very few times and should have no audible noises

Very Good = few or no visual marks and appears to play very well

Good = more than a few marks and appears to have some potential surface noise

Fair = definitely some surface noise and potential skips

I will always advise if there is writing on the label and if the item will come with an original sleeve or picture sleeve.  Some items may not have an inner sleeve.

With all of this said, please feel free to e-mail me with any questions.  Good luck to all!

Comments:     This is an early Chicago house release.  Sadly I don't have the LP picture cover but that doesn't take away from this record's rareness.  This is one of the pioneering records of the Chicago house movement.  Vince Lawrence and Jesse Saunders teamed up to make one of the best LP's in the Chicago house scene.  This record is somewhat rare so I have a reserve that I believe is in line with its rareness and condition.  While the vinyl looks pretty good, I have to admit there's a few pops and some periodic hissing.  Granted I checked the condition on an old turntable with a nasty needle, I think a quality turntable/needle can bring out some great quality in this record.  Still, anyone who's a fan of early Chicago house or Jesse Saunders or Vince Lawrence, you'll want this one in your stash.  The instrumental version of Fantasy and the I Am The Dee Jay cuts on this LP are unique to the LP, not found on the 12" releases.
