CHARLEE    Charlee              (CDN) RCA LSP 4809

      This is a 1972 original Canadian RCA Dynaflex pressing of Charlee's ultra-heavy one and only release. Recorded by Walter Rossi and friends a while after the breakup of his previous band The Influence. Included another member of The Influence in the great bassist Jack Geisinger. 

Dead Wax Info: Side 1 has BPRS - 1725 and TG all etched into the dead wax. Side 2 has BPRS - 1726 and TG all etched into the dead wax. 

Vinyl Visual Grade:  VG+ with light marking and slight loss of gloss. Not many plays on this copy. No warping on this rather lightweight Dynaflex pressing. Just what was RCA thinking anyhow?

Vinyl Play Grade: VG+ or better and NM for a lot of the lp with GREAT fidelity and a tiny bit of surface noise, most evident on the quiet intro to "A Way To Die". This album is so loud that surface noise is hardly an issue, and this copy plays VERY WELL indeed. Even the endless analog telephone dial-tone run-out on Side 2 plays quiet. 

Cover Visual Grade: VG at most with general wear throughout on this textured original paste-over cover. Some staining along the left side of the front. Some rubbing on the rear. Not much ring wear evident. Spine showing moderate wear with print barely readable. Seams are better than spine. Corner wear as well. NO SPLITS. Ok cover really. 

Apologies for the shadows on the pictures! 

Comes with original white die-cut paper inner which I have lined with a rice-style plastic Audiophile inner.

 Hello all. My name is Jamie and I have been collecting records for 40+ years. It is time to trim down my unmanageable inventory. My tastes run all over the sonic map, so there should be something for almost everyone.

ALL records will have been visually inspected under BRIGHT incandescent light with extreme scrutiny.

ALL open records will have been play graded using a Thorens TD 165 turntable and Yamaha amplifier (JBL reference headphones). Treble set high so nothing will be hidden in my grades. My grading is as follows:

M or Mint - NOT USED as there is no such thing as perfection.

NM or Near Mint - No significant markings - sealed or RARELY played.

VG+ - Minimal marking - none of which significantly affects fidelity of lp.

VG - Minimal to modest marking which affects lp but not to the point of distraction.

G - Modest marking but still VERY listenable, depending on your ears.

I WILL NOT SELL ANY LP AT LESS THAN G UNLESS THERE IS SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL VALUE ATTACHED TO THE LP.

ALL COVERS WILL HAVE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF ALL FLAWS.

I USE PROPER RECORD MAILERS WITH STIFFENERS AND PADDED CORNERS. I HAVE BOUGHT TOO MANY RECORDS ON EBAY WITH DINGED CORNERS FROM INSUFFICIENT PACKAGING. BY PADDING THE CORNERS WITH FOLDED BUBBLE WRAP (WHICH I DO) , YOU CAN BE SURE OF RECEIVING AN LP WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE CORNERS. 

SHIPPING FEES:

I AM A REASONABLE PERSON. I WILL ONLY CHARGE FOR ACTUAL SHIPPING, AND NONE OF THE PACKAGING COSTS. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BOUGHT ITEM, PLEASE WORK WITH ME TO FIND A SOLUTION THAT WILL BE TO YOUR LIKING. thanks for this
