These are truly in fantastic shape, some appear unplayed. Whoever owned them loved them a lot. Only one or two are from my personal collection. Most of you have manual cleaning accessories (Discwasher, Cecil Watts), and that is at most what you’ll need to get these sparkling. The guys with record cleaning machines will think they died and went to heaven. $3 each, six for $15 etc. Double albums are $5. All prices DO NOT include actual shipping which will be added.

Please respond to this thread if interested, rather than send PM’s. This will allow others to see what’s gone and what remains.

As is the case from here on in, ALL PROCEEDS go to handicapped children. You don't like it, buy your stuff elsewhere.



There will be another listing of albums that are in fine shape, but just can’t be called pristine. Thank you!!

Troy, you want to wade through the classical undisturbed right? You see any classical listed here? No. It's not listed for a reason. The reason is so that you can have YOUR CHOICE of the classical. This isn't a good time to break my balls. Your wife gets anything off this list she wants (the pop/rock list).

TroyD

You got it Freddie Five. The Andy Gibbs is still sealed, that's a $5 item. Look for a PM and I hope you're not in a rush. The Linda Ronstadt is spoken for already.

Shack, SComp, Hoosier and FredV are all taken care of.

Shack, if I didn't have that Youngbloods on cd, you'd never have gotten the offer for the vinyl. The album is worth it just for "On Sir Francis Drake" alone.

No Zappa LP's.

George Grand
04-05-2006, 02:13 PM
Oh I have plenty of Zappa vinyl Peter. Tell me the last time you saw ANY Zappa vinyl in the store for even close to $3 a pop.

The Zappa vinyl I traded in years ago as I bought the cd's, well that really burned me. I traded it all in at the Princeton Record Exchange. They gave me twice what I originally paid for them. That didn't temper the slug in the chest that I got the next time I went there and saw MY VINYL selling for $60-70 an album.

This is the same reason why there is no Beatles, Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin on the list. I got plenty of that too, but when it goes, it won't be for $3 a shot. Someone on ebay will contribute dearly to the handicapped kids if they want pristine that kind of stuff.

TroyD
04-05-2006, 02:32 PM
George, seriously, the ones I asked for, if someone else wants them, let them have them, amigo. Wendi has about as much interest in LP's as she does other men beyond you.

You also NEVER see Zappa vinyl, anywhere. In all the looking I've done, I've seen exactly two Zappa albums, one was a destroyed copy of Hot Rats and the other was a mint copy of Apostrophe.

Hi Troy,

Can I transfer the Eagles to my list then ;)

04-05-2006, 02:46 PM
George

I have a complete Zappa LP collection in good condition with some duplicates and some worn LP jackets. It was always a big event getting the new latest Zappa album because it was never anything like the last one. I wouldn't consider selling them unless I really needed the $. I have lived with them so long they are like relatives I guess.

I never looked on ebay to see what the Zappa LPs were going for. I also have a Velvet Underground Banana LP with an unpeeled banana.

Still waitin for my man. 26 dollars in my hand.

I'll take whatever is still left under the 1st section, including what Troy doesn't want. Add Charlie Rich to the pile also.

Let me know what my bill is, I'll get it out.

Cheers,
Russ

George Grand
04-05-2006, 04:32 PM
Okay, Fred gets the Eagles, Wendi gets me. No need to thank me, I'm just THAT kind of guy.

Russ, you have a 7 lp Van Halen package enroute gratis for all the scumbag things you do for me. I don't know what you mean by "whatever is left in the first section". The original first section was all the sealed stuff, and the only thing left from that is 2 Europe albums. Seeing how nobody else wanted them, I don't figure you do either. Talk to me about what you want, do it in a email if you want. I really can't see you listening to Judy Collins, Melanie, Rita Coolidge or Dan Fogelberg (unless of course there's something you haven't been sharing with us).

So what you using the single Zappa album as? A drink coaster?

Hang onto that Zappa vinyl Peter.

RuSsMaN
04-05-2006, 05:55 PM
The first section above, this post, all the remaining non country + Mr. Pride. I listen to everything, for the most part.

The Zappa is tucked away, for safe keeping - I probably meant to send it to you and forgot.

George Grand
04-05-2006, 06:12 PM
Well that's that. I'm sold out for now. Thanks everybody for shopping at "Sounds Grand" and helping me help the kids. It means a great deal to me.

I just realized I still have all the country and easy listening left. I'll leave it up and then add to it when I go through more of this vinyl to determine actual condition.

04-08-2006, 05:55 PM
Rich, you're helping me write checks to the handicapped kids. So, thank YOU. I'm guessing the guy played them once to put them on tape or something. I'm still sorting through the piles looking for the really clean ones. There'll be another listing but it won't be till I order more shipping boxes.

I'm really glad you guys have been happy with these transactions.
