Description
Bought new, from my personal collection. As far as I recall, I NEVER played this record, but I will call it used since it has been opened. Sleeve looks new with no "ring" shaped wear on it.
A little digression on record grading: decades ago I sold vinyl via Goldmine magazine. As some sellers did, I would have both a visual and audio grading. The records I am selling on eBay, unless specifically noted in the description, are free of any visually-detectable damage like scratches, scuffed surfaces, warps, and the like. I do not have one of the modern record cleaning machines, but do/did religiously clean them with DiscWasher brushes whenever played. That being said, a cleaning with an electric cleaner can often clean up the sound on decades-old vinyl.
Thus, my record grade is solely on the basis of surface noise. But I do not play them all the way through; there's not enough time in the day! If a record I sell you has a skip that I missed, I will happily accept a return. Sometimes a too-low tracking force is used, as some are under the impression this will preserve the surface. Interestingly, a too-low tracking force can increase wear on the grooves; among other reasons dynamic passages can make the stylus ride up on the sides of the groove. Depending on the tonearm and cartridge used, I recommend a tracking force between 1.2 and 1.9 grams. As for anti-skate, the rule of thumb is to use the same setting as the tracking force. For more accuracy, one can use a blank area of a record to check the anti-skate, as sometimes the optimal amount is not the same as the tracking force. A big factor is the quality and dynamics of the tonearm being used.
Do not mistake static discharge through the cartridge for pops and clicks due to debris in the grooves.
I will give an already-played record the highest rating ("mint") unless it is absolutely pristine. Many of my "near mint" or "excellent" items might be rated by other sellers as a full "mint".
Most of the vinyl in my listings was bought new by myself.
I always combine shipping. New items, not exclusively vinyl, will appear each week if the stars align, so check my listings frequently.
his is an Elektra Records LP by Faster Pussycat, titled "Wake Me When It's Over." The record is in black vinyl and comes in a cardboard sleeve. It is a first edition and first pressing, released in 1989. The record grading is mint (M) and the sleeve grading is near mint (NM or M-).
