Hey Bryce – I really think only a few of these are from McDonald’s but I have no true idea. I know there are 4 McDonald’s ones in packages – I am assuming these are undesirable ones. The desirable ones I saw, include especially the ones in the...

Here, we are taking a look at my for-sale copy of Helen Merrill’s rare and wonderful self-titled debut from 1955 on Emarcy. The main thing to see and understand with this one, apart from kind of normal aging, are two issues: the bottom edge is split, just under...

Please note: With more research, I determined with little doubt, that this one is a reissue from about 62-63. The only difference in it from the original, is the label – it is Oxblood (not blood red) and it is missing some text the original labels put between...

Here we are looking at Sam Lazar’s Space Flight with Grant Green on Argo, #4002. This one is in fine shape, both the wax and the cover. The cover shows a little bit of natural age, particualrly in the back cover where there is more foxing/discoloring. Note there...

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 John Coltrane And Paul Quinichette – Cattin’ With Coltrane And Quinichette on Prestige from 59. The cover on this one is really nice. There is some slight age to it, but it is seriously minor. There’s a super small sticker on...
