Here we are looking at Wilbur Harden’s Tanganyika Strut. This one is in nice shape, so there isn’t a ton to say about it – the images will show you what you need to see I think. There is some minor, normal aging to the cover – you see it in...

Here we are looking at Chino Feaster’s promo single of You’re So Much Woman. As you can see, there is some pretty significant damage to both labels. The A side is a little better than the b side. Both labels have peeling and damage. I saw some scuffing on...

Here we are looking at the first German pressing of Please Please Me by the Beatles on Odeon. Not a ton to say about this one, only because it is in really terrific shape, both in the cover and in the wax. You can see by the pictures that the cover is in great shape...

Here, we are looking at the mono original pressing of The Byrds Greatest Hits. I verified the pressing, by looking at the mono label on the front, and then looking at the labels which were Columbia one-eye. It says mono pretty clearly as well. This had more marks on...
