Purchased new in the mid-1980's. For listening, I made cassettes of everything, so this record was played once after I first bought it. Side 1 test played again in its entirety just prior to making this listing. It has been stored vertically in a stereo cabinet out of direct sunlight, in climate-controlled, smoke-free homes since purchase. 

 

Record Grading:     (VG+)

Both record surfaces are bright and glossy. There are some tiny visible flaws on Side 1, along with a few filmy areas that were not removed by wet cleaning. On test play, there was minor crackling and popping during quiet parts; otherwise audio was clear and undistorted, and without skips. The labels are in very good condition and have only minor blemishes.


Outer Sleeve Grading:      (VG) 

Fully intact single sleeve with clean and glossy surface and minor corner wear. Yellowing and spots along inside edge of opening. Spine is completely legible.

 

Inner Sleeve Grading:      (G) 

Plain paper original inner sleeve. Paper is slightly yellowed, with some warping and wrinkles. Three holes in the edges, including a ~1" slit in middle of bottom edge.


Please see photos documenting all of the above.

Record was wet-cleaned, dried, and comes packaged in a new polyethylene sleeve; original inner sleeve included. Ships via USPS Media Mail, securely packed in a record mailer.


Originally released 1981. Produced by Ted Templeman.
