Following his departure from the Eagles, Meisner went on to release solo albums in 1978 (Randy Meisner) and 1980 (One More Song). He has said that his 1978 album, which he co-produced with Alan Brackett, was scattershot and not "conceptualized to its best." 1980's One More Song was produced by Val Garay and featured backing vocals by his former Eagles band mates Don Henley and Glenn Frey on the Jack Tempchin - composed title track. Meisner co-wrote six of the album's nine songs, including the Top 20 single "Hearts on Fire," collaborating with songwriters Wendy Waldman and Eric Kaz.
Album is SEALED. Has slight corner wear lower right and left corners. Sleeve is rated NM and vinyl M.
I will combine shipping if additional albums are purchased, $.50 added to shipping for each additional album.
Conditions and Grading Goldmine Grading Standard:
Mint [M]
Vinyl:
Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played, possibly even
still sealed. (More on still sealed below). Should be used sparingly as
a grade, if at all.
------------------------------------------------------------
Near Mint [NM or M-]
Vinyl:
A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than
this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect.
The record shows no obvious sign of wear. A 45 rpm sleeve has no more
than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other
signs of slight handling. An LP jacket has no creases, folds, seam
splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either.
And of course, the same is true of any other inserts, such as posters,
lyric sleeves, and the like. Basically, Near Mint looks as if you just
got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.
------------------------------------------------------------
Very Good Plus [VG+]
Vinyl:
Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous
owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight
signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that
don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect
the sound are OK. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration,
but is should be barely noticeable. The center hole is not misshapen by
repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some
slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP
jacket my have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out
hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and
sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple of minor things
wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy
collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.
------------------------------------------------------------
Very Good [VG]
Vinyl:
Many of the defects found in a VG+ record are more pronounced in a VG
disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages
and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music
otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light
scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the
sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or
their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP
covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same
time, only two or three of them.
------------------------------------------------------------
Good [G], Good Plus [G+]
Vinyl:
Good does not mean bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be
put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will
have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. A
jacket or sleeve has seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the
spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm
the object. If it's a common item, you'll probably find another copy in
better shape eventually. Pass it up. But if it's something you have
been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Poor [P], Fair [F]:
Vinyl:
The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without
skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all
three seams and heavily marred by wear and/or writing. The LP jacket
barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, and
written upon. Except for impossibly rare records otherwise unattainable,
records in this condition should be bought or sold for no more than a
few cents each.
