ROBERT EARL KEEN, JR.
TESTED   No Kinda Dancer - 1984 "Debut Album" 

Album has been tested (played)* and plays scratch-free & skip-free with precise needle tracking.  Cover is originally intact with very minimal shelf wear as pictured.  Inner sleeve may not be the original.  Family owned by adults and well cared for.
While the album has precise needle tracking along with being very clean, very lightly played and in very good condition, audible static is present.  It does not overpower the music, but is most noticeable between tracks and in soft instrumentation.  In researching this type of playback, it was noted that:  "Impure or lesser quality vinyl can lead to reduced sound quality.  Some records are just made better than others.  It really can be that simple."  Further research revealed the following:  
 Workshop Records:   Founded in 1973 as an outlet for instructional tapes and books, Workshop Records attempted for a short time in the middle 1980s to position itself as an Austin boutique label. Its best-known artists were the Austin Lounge Lizards and Robert Earl Keen, both whose first albums were released on the Workshop label.  The general release experiment failed after only 8 albums due to lack of industry experience among other things.  The owner and founder then returned Workshop to its original purpose. Volunteer Recording Pressing, Inc:  Nashville-area record pressing company incorporated in 1975 and dissolved in 1988.       BOTTOM LINE: This is a rare album!!!!!!!

* Disclaimer:  Every track on this album was played for approximately 10 seconds and produced clear playback with no skipping and no signs of a scratch.  As packaged fish labels say, "every effort was made to ensure there are no bones, but on rare occasions one may be found".
