Description

THIS IS THE RARE ONE!!–Big Star’s #1 Record on vinyl, the original first press issue on Ardent!  

Even better, this vinyl is signed on the back cover by bassist extraordinaire, Andy Hummel.

Andy sadly died of cancer in 2010.

CONDITION -- Please see photos.  I have described this vinyl as thoroughly as possible.

Cover:  

  *  Rated G, front cover is very glossy, shows some signs of wear on all edges as seen in the photos

  *  Heavy duty, glossy cardboard.  There is a cutout hole in the upper right hand corner.  

  *  Spine is decent, some wear can be seen in the photos

  *  Lower left has most wear and is beginning to split.

  *  Back cover has a tear in the mid bottom, but appears to have been glued nicely.  

  *  Andy’s signature is in pen above the photo of the band on the back cover.  

  *  Either side would look great framed.

Record:  

  *  Conservatively graded G

  *  Has as many small surface scratches and a couple of larger ones (but none appear to be deep).

  *  Plays VG-, noisy and has a lot of surface noise but no skips.  

  *  Behind all that surface noise, you can tell this is a great sounding record!  

  *  But if you’re looking for an audiophile experience, please look elsewhere.

  *  Labels look very nice, with some wear around the spindle hole on side 2.  

  *  Deadwax etchings are:  A:  STXS-0178-2 AS-0401 ADS-2803 17069

                                             B:  STXS-0261-1 AS-0406-RR-Rc-2 L. NIX PRUDENCE 17213 (1) 

  *  There is also a small Big Star logo in the etching on Side A!

Please ask questions.  From a smoke-free home.
