Greetings everyone! Thanks for stopping by another of my record auctions! I know this is the same template I use for my Sunday listings, but it looks like our state is headed for a total lockdown. The store I work for does mail order, so I'll still come in, but my pay isn't guaranteed. So I figure I'll do a few Tuesday listings with this same style to help the cashflow a little. But for now, let’s see what I have for you this time.

By the way, I am multi-tasking on Tuesday nights as I run a live thread on a site dedicated to a certain thing I enjoy a lot. So my attention may be a bit distracted, and I may or may not get the invoices sent immediately. My apologies for this, but thank you in advance for your patience.

Artist: The Cure

Title(s): Pornography

Label/Label Number/Release Date: A&M SP 4902, 1982

Condition/Grading: Needle marks of varying degrees, some storage wear, and a need of cleaning are visible. Both sides played through uninterrupted, but there is some occasional crackling, that's really noticeable on the lead in, run off, and between tracks. Fortunately, it's not bad during the actual songs. Can still give this my average E grading.

Notes: Between being a punk/new wave band and getting all MTV friendly, there was an interesting Cure period where they weren't radio-friendly, unless you were in college radio. This is one of those releases. The label on side 1 has a price sticker on it and the cover has storage wear, ring wear, all sorts of wear and bending. The spine and seams have wear too, though fortunately, no splitting.

That’s my grading though, and my grading is considered non-standard. If you are considering placing a bid, please read the paragraph that follows this one, as it will show you the gradings and their respective descriptions. It won’t take long to read, please do.

If you need more pictures or description, I can and will be happy to provide. If you have any comments or questions, please send them to me, and I will reply as soon as possible.
