If you’re under 50 you likely haven’t heard of, let alone heard the music of, many of these performers. That’s unfortunate because they produced some excellent music before being pushed out of the limelight and, in some cases, into obscurity. So if you’re the sort of person who doesn’t subscribe to mass taste and wants to expand your musical frame of reference, you might want to check-out some of them through free streaming services on the internet, biographical summaries on Wikipedia, and the reviews on the AllMusic website (85% reliable)
Then if you like what you’ve heard/read, send me an initial want list of no more than 5 individual performers/groups and I’ll send you the titles of what I have. If you’re still interested I’ll send you a detailed report on the condition (both audial and jacket) of my copies along with their prices.
Cash payment only. Most albums will be in the $8-$20 range. Some will be higher because they are “collectible” (i.e. 1st or early pressings or the demand exceeds the number of copies in circulation)
I don’t mail, and onsite browsing is not possible. To save time I’ve uploaded stock photos of covers of some sample albums from my collection
CRAIGSLIST'S CODED EMAIL RELAY SYSTEM IS ERRATIC (especially if you are using a cellphone)--IF YOU DON'T HEAR BACK FROM ME WITHIN A FEW HOURS MY EMAIL MIGHT HAVE GONE TO YOUR JUNK/SPAM FOLDER--but if it's not there I DIDN'T RECEIVE YOUR EMAIL SO PLEASE TRY AGAIN, preferably from the ad rather than the already-established thread
