Item Description:

FACES: 'Long Player' LP

Warner Brothes WS-1892 LP, made in US, 1971. Album is play graded.

Record: VG+, with some extremely light sleeve scuffs (nothing serious); no warps, skips, scratches or other damage. Labels have a few light spindle marks. 

Cover: strong VG+, with very light ring/edge wear, one bent corner and a little minor damage on the front where a tag was removed.

This is a copy of The Faces' 1971 Warner Brothers album 'Long Player'. Their second album is a sloppy, ragged, glorious slog. A couple of fine Ronnie Lane songs ("Tell Everyone" and "Richmond") a blues rave-up ("I Feel So Good") and one of Rod Stewart's peak performances (Paul McCartney's "Maybe I'm Amazed"). A great album.  

This copy is an original US pressing on Warner Brothers with the die-cut textured cover.  A nice copy of a 70's classic.

Free shipping included in the price (a $4 value). 

Discount pricing is available for multiple purchases that are shipped together. Please ask for details prior to bidding.

GRADING

M = MINT. Absolutely perfect in every way - never played. I rarely use this grade.

NM = NEAR MINT. A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. The LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other signs of use. The same should be true of inserts, lyric sheets, posters, etc.

NM- = NEAR MINT MINUS. This is a grade of my own devising. The record will show signs that it was played, but rarely. Record surfaces may have very light needle trails or very light scuffs, but NO scratches or warps. The LP jacket may have very light wear, but NO cut-out holes, cut corners or saw cuts.

VG+ = VERY GOOD PLUS. The record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner(s) who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show slight signs of wear and may have slight warps, slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't significantly affect the listening experience. The LP jacket may have some signs of wear and may be marred by a cut-out hole/cut corner/saw cut.

VG = VERY GOOD. Many of the condition issues found on a VG+ record will be more pronounced on a VG record. Some surface noise will be evident upon playing. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches (deep enough to be felt with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. LP jackets may have writing, tape or stickers/labels/tags. Other signs of wear may also be evident.

VG- = VERY GOOD MINUS. Similar to a VG record, but with more obvious condition issues. Surface noise from light scratches or groove wear will be present, but the record will not have skips. LP jackets will have multiple signs of wear. Not collectible, but may serve as a play copy.
