SHAMEK FARRAH LP

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

STRATA-EAST RECORDS # SES-7412

Original United States pressing of this hard to find vinyl record album, released in 1974.  Includes the songs METEOROLOGICALLY TUNED, WATCH WHAT HAPPENS NOW, UMPJA SUITE, and FIRST IMPRESSIONS.

COVER: The cover has top seam wear and a bit of light surface wear.  It grades VG+.

VINYL: The record is clean and retains most of its original glossy luster.  Side 2 grades EX.  Side 1 overall looks like a strongF VG+, however three small flecks in the vinyl occurred during manufacturing on Side 1, one near the end of "Meteorologically Speaking", one near the end of "Watch What Happens Now", and one at the very end of "Watch What Happens Now".

We have recorded samples below to show you how these flecks sound when the needle passes through.

The first "fleck" near the end of "Meteorologically Speaking" lasts for about 10 revolutions and causes a pop sound, although we did not notice any skipping here.  Click the player below to listen:

The other two flecks are close together near and at the end of "Watch What Happens Now", which causes a pop sound, and we noticed 2 or 3 small skips.  Click the player below to listen, and note that the last couple of seconds are after the side is over and the needle is into the dead wax:

All of our LP's are shipped in sturdy cardboard LP mailers with appropriate padding.

With the exception of sealed LP's, all LP's are removed from their outer sleeves to prevent seam splitting.

All records are carefully graded. In an attempt to give customers an accurate impression of condition rather than adhere to somewhat arbitrary criteria, The Great Escape gives an "overall presentation" grade; we do not give a "listening" grade. Our vinyl listings are supplemented when necessary with additional remarks. For example: where some dealers will not allow a cut corner on an otherwise near mint jacket (often automatically relegating it to a VG+ at best), we may grade such a record as NM and note the cut-out mark (thereby letting you know what it "really" looks like: a near-perfect record with a cut corner). LPs are graded cover first, followed by the grade for the vinyl.
