Yaz Upstairs at Eric’s Vinyl LP 1982 Sire Records 9 23737-1 SRC First Press

This is one of the first US pressings of Yaz - Upstairs at Eric’s on Sire Records from 1982. Vinyl itself is in great condition. Only a few hairline scratches as highlighted in my photos. Plays great. No skips, hangs, warps, or repeats. There is about 5-10 seconds of some static like surface noise on the first song on side B, before the vocals kick in. Record hasn’t ever been cleaned with a dishwashing system in 40 years.

Record comes with original poly sleeve. Outer jacket has the original clear plastic shrink. Plastic has a tear on bottom left front corner. Some corner bump wear, and on jacket opening as shown in photos. But overall I’m great condition. This record has been stored in a record crate since the early 1980’s.

I use a ring light to highlight any noticeable scuffs or scratches in my vinyl auctions. Also helps to better highlight the runout etchings, which will indicate the exact version of the release.

I listen to all the albums prior to auction and will reference any jumps, skips, warps, repeats, etc. Or anything that will effect play in my listing. Will also always indicate any scratches that are deep enough to cause a noticeable click or pop sound.

I also don’t use any disc cleaning or disc washing system. So any residual dust or smudges have not been removed.

With that being said, I want to be as clear and honest to the exact condition of each listing, and depict any imperfections as well as I can with the ring light.

Feel free to contact me with questions, or any additional photos.

I ship FREE USPS Media Mail for US bidders. This includes a tracking number.

Albums are packaged very well using a record box mailer, cardboard inserts, corner and edge protection, bubble wrap, etc.

Stay tuned to my auctions for more rare gems in the coming weeks. Thanks for bidding!
