4 RECORD LOT: Jan Brady, Monkees, Bobby Sherman, Johnny Rivers
Note to buyers, please read all text as I am not schooled in “record grading”. That said, you’ll find some real GEMS in my collection. The records below vary in condition, with some being "well played" and others are "unplayed". There's wear and splitting to most of the jackets. Some jackets are rough/split and may have my deejay BPM labels attached. All shown in photos.
(Lot #080) • Lot of 4 Totally FUN Record Bundle:
1.) JAN BRADY Picture Disc, No idea what song. (It'll be a surprise!) | In original clear plastic sleeve. Excellent unplayed condition.
2.) THE MONKEES Greatest Hits (See photo for songs) This one's seen plenty of play. And the jacket is rough and taped. Still up for a good spin tho!
3.) BOBBY SHERMAN "Portrait of Bobby" with an absolutely dreamy front cover that can be turned into an actual framed portrait for your dresser! Yes, there's a little punch-out easel integrated into the gatefold jacket so you can display it. (And kiss him every night before you go to bed.) It's in what I call "surprisingly good condition".
4.) JOHNNY RIVERS "A Touch of Gold". OK, this one's not as "bubble gum" as the others, but he was a friend of mine when I lived in LA, and he gave it to me. Lots of really good songs on it. It's a promo copy and unopened. Still in original shrink wrap.

Additional info, and likely TMI:
As a former club deejay from the late ‘70s through the early ‘90s, I’m now selling off my vintage vinyl, mainly “dance” record collection. And as a billboard magazine dance chart reporter, I was given pretty much anything in the dance music genre that was released, thus most of my discs are rare, promotional “deejay only” disco/club extended remix maxi-singles that were never available outside the music industry. And what’s being offered is what I would consider the ‘cream of the crop’ (not the ‘back of the stack’.) My collection contains some full length LPs plus gobs and gobs of 12” singles extended-play dance remixes, both 33 and 45 rpm. Some real gems here — DISCO, FUNK, NEW WAVE, PUNK, GOTH — and a few oddities and novelties*. Many of these records were spun hard nightly in LA clubs so the varying condition reflects their colorful history. And be advised, some of the jackets are absolutely trashed. (But they had a really good time gettin’ there.) But some are pretty near ‘mint’. Many are music trade industry stamped or “cut-outs” (promos). Many have the BPM (beats per minute) also written in sharpie on the front corner. I’ve also got some original-issue “Razormaid” and “HotTrax” deejay-only compilations that are increasingly coveted and hard to find. I’m not a pro vinyl trader by any means, so I’m not versed in all the snobby record collector gobbledegook regarding details and condition. I’m not using any sort of official “grading” system. Altho many have visible scratches, I don’t knowingly sell anything with “skips”. With exception, the majority of these babies are for spinners, not collectors. (I will describe very basic conditional in the top segment of each listing.) I’m just a long retired LA deejay with some great vintage records that have seen some late night action and they need a new home. Any “Old Skool” DJs out there? These babies are guaranteed to pack a floor!
