VINYL   LP  RECORDS
SPOKEN   WORD  &  CLASSIC  RADIO

From my own collection started in 1963. Others I picked up at estate sales only if they were at least Near Mint condition. All albums, with few exceptions, are Near Mint to Mint condition, and jackets will be Excellent to Near Mint. All are Hi-Fi monophonic unless indicated as being in Stereo. Records will be rated on a 1 to 10 scale; 10 being Mint or unused. The first number is the record condition, the second number the jacket condition. A number in brackets ( ) after a title indicates the number of copies I have of that title.
