Description

Tears For Fears 1st pressing LP “Songs From The Big Chair” 1985 Richmond Pressing Mercury 422-824 300-1 M-1


Tears For Fears – Songs From The Big Chair

Label: Mercury – 422-824 300-1 M-1 

Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, 72 - Richmond Pressing

Country: US

Released: 1985

Genre: Electronic, Rock

Style: Synth-pop


Printed in U.S.A.


First Catalog # appears on center labels. Second Catalog # appears on spine.

"72" on center label denotes a PRC Recording Company, Richmond, IN pressing.

0704 appears on the lower right corner of the back cover.

 

I rate this as a VG- party copy. Something to throw on while you’re cooking or entertaining, and maybe not intently listening with a 5.1 Hi-Fi setup, marveling at the fidelty etc.  

 

Vinyl: (VG-) ..  

At the end of Shout (Side A Track 1), there is a 8 second constistent mark that is not a skip, but a scuff sound at each rotation

    -Skips: thankfully none

        -Surface Noise:  minimal to none. For the most part its a quiet play with minimal popping/surface noise in spots after cleaning with a VPI record cleaning machine. Definitely not pristine though.

            -Scuffing: There are some visible scuffs that for the most part do not affect playback other than whats listed above. 


Cover: (VG/VG-)..

   Ring Wear: N/A

        Scuffing/Marks:  some edge wear along the sides 

Rips/Tears/other blemishes:  N/A

    

Sleeve/Insert: Factory white sleeve


Spine:  Readable but a good amount of scuffing and wear, perhaps the worst blemish on the cover (see photos)


_______

*ALL* records are checked and listened to prior to listing. Any blemishes are recorded as I listen.


Kept in a smoke free home. Professionally cleaned.

Vinyl will be shipped outside of the outer sleeve to prevent spine damage during postal journey.


Any odd-seeming marks on the photos of the vinyl itself are purely glare from shininess of the vinyl reflecting back, all blemishes are otherwise reported and shown with a close up photo. 


All records sanitized from a healthy home. 


Ask me any questions you might have, and thanks for looking!
