The Second Barbra Streisand Album 1963 Columbia CS-8854 2-Eye Pitman Pressing EX

Description: For sale is a vinyl record by Barbra Streisand titled "The Second Barbra Streisand Album", originally released in 1963 by Columbia Records. This original pressing has red labels, with "COLUMBIA" in white at the top, along two white CBS logos, looking like "Eyes", one on each side of the center hole on the outside of the label's rim, commonly called "2-Eye" Columbia labels, as well as "360 sound STEREO 360 sound" along the bottom of the label in black. I bought this record used, professionally cleaned it on my VPI HW-17 machine and immediately put the album into an archival inner sleeve. I always put my new records directly into a protective inner sleeve(s), thus preserving the integrity of the vinyl and any original inner sleeve(s) that may have come with the release. There is no original inner sleeve with this listing. Inside the dead wax, between the last tracks and the labels is machine stamped an upper case "P" along with a lower case "o", followed by an etching of the matrix numbers 1-A/1-B, indicating that this album was mastered at Columbia Records' Customatrix before very early stampers were used to make this record at Columbia Records' pressing plant located in Pitman, New Jersey. These are hallmarks of state-of-the-art engineering, sought after by collectors and music lovers for their superior sound qualities. The vinyl is visually graded between Excellent and Near Mint Minus because of superficial sleeve marks, but still with surfaces that are shiny and bright, in a like-new condition, without any surface scratches, scuffs, smudges or spindle marks on the labels. I'm play grading this record between Excellent and Near Mint because of super low levels of background noise, most noticeable between tracks, and an occasional pop or "tic". It plays all the way through without any lock-ups or skips from start to finish. The cover is graded as Good Plus because of a four inch seam split on the bottom right hand corner, a crease across the entire top of the front cover, corner blunts, shelf rubs and another seam split starting on the top seam, resulting in a six inch seam split on the top right hand corner. The spine has damage to the top corner resulting in fraying and paper loss. This would make a great addition to a anyone's collection. I have other Pop albums, as well as records of all different genres, listed in my Ebay store. Please take a look. They're predominately Near Mint. Thank you for viewing my listing. I've been collecting records for about 50 years now and have always cleaned them and put them away carefully in plastic inner sleeves. Over the years I've used Dust Bugs, Disc Washers and have finally invested in a professional VPI record cleaning machine. Now that I'm retiring, I'm selling my very esoteric collection. I'm not a professional grader of records, but will use record guides, as well as my personal experiences as a basis of my grading all records. Since grading is subjective, I will be conservative. I offer discounts for multiple sales. Photos are of the actual item for sale, not a stock photo. Please review all descriptions and photos because I do not accept returns. Thank you for looking!
