Jose Luis Rodriguez El Puma Silencio 1988 Mercury 834 608-1 Mexican Pressing NM-
For sale is a vinyl record by Jose Luis Rodriguez (El Puma) titled "Silencio" , originally released in 1988 by Mercury Records, made and distributed in Mexico by PolyGram Discos S.A. de C.V. then imported into the United States. I bought this record used, professionally cleaned it on my VPI HW-17 and immediately put it into a MFSL archival inner sleeve. Doing this preserves the integrity of the vinyl and any original insert(s) or inner sleeve(s) that may have come with the release. There is no original inner sleeve with this listing. The cover, which is still in its original shrink wrap, is graded as Near Mint. The spine is Near Mint. The Vinyl is visually graded as Near Mint, with surfaces that are shiny and bright, in a like-new condition, without any surface scratches, smudges, scuffs or spindle marks on the labels. I'm play grading this album as Near Mint Minus because of occasional super low levels of surface noise, predominately in the first few seconds during the beginnings of both Side One and Side Two. It plays all the way through without any skips, lock-ups or pops from start to finish. This is the best copy of this very rare album that I have ever seen or heard, and you would be hard pressed to find another one in this condition. I have more Latin records listed in my Ebay store, as well as albums of all genres. 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!
