Description
One-sided "Flexi-Disc" pressed by skateboarding magazine "Thrasher" in 1986. Punk record "Hidden Lies" recorded by famed skateboarders Steve Caballero (on bass) and Tommy Guerrero (on guitar) under the name "Super Cool Tough Guys". Limited Edition of only 2000 copies. No magazine with this item, and generic sleeve. Came into my possession with scratches and even actual creases, due to the paper thin disc. Amazingly, my stylus tracked the entire song! The worst crease is 1 inch long but all I heard was some moderate thumps when the stylus encounters the crease, and then a light recurring pop for 45 seconds or so, then a couple moderate thumps as the stylus leaves the area. The music itself kinda disguises a lot of the noise in this section. 2nd, less severe crease near the end, causing some noise. Amazing it doesn't skip, no idea these flexi-discs could be this rugged. Even so, it's still got the damage, so I'm grading this only Goldmine F.
Thanks for your interest! Please see additional terms below:
REGARDING ALL ITEMS:
PACKAGING: All of my items, regardless of format, are first wrapped in a plastic liner to protect against liquids, then wrapped in cushioning material (that is, if appropriate for the item) to protect against shocks, and finally placed in cardboard (or a cardboard box) to protect against punctures and sharp objects.
SHIPPING: Sorry for the inconvenience in advance, but I add USPS Signature Confirmation to all U.S. orders over $75. This extra service is at my expense.
ISSUES: I am confident you will be 100% happy with this sale. However, none of us are perfect, so if you are unhappy in any way with your product, please reach out to me BEFORE leaving negative or neutral feedback. I will always try my best to correct any mistakes I might make!
REGARDING VINYL:
GRADING: I do my best to conform my grading to the Goldmine standard. My goal is to neither overgrade nor undergrade. I make all visual grades using a 500-watt halogen light.
PLAY TESTING: I may use the term "100% successful playthrough." This phrase denotes that I have sat and listened to the record in its entirety, and my stylus successfully tracked the entire record without skips, repeats, jumps, or loud recurring pops. It does not refer to noise, distortion, or random loud pops that may be on the record. Please assume the record has not been play tested unless explicitly stated. I sometimes may test isolated passages , e.g. to test surface noise, but this should not be construed as my having play tested the media in its entirety, unless explicitly stated in my comments.
CLEANING: As there seems to be just as many methods of cleaning vinyl as there are vinyl collectors, my policy is to respect each and every vinyl collector's right to implement the cleaning method that they prefer. Therefore, please do not expect the discs I sell to be professional cleaned. When I need to play test a disc, I will always do a "dry cleaning" to remove dust. I cannot guarantee, of course, that when you remove your disc from its sleeve it will be 100% dust free. I may perform "wet cleaning" on your discs at my sole discretion, but please do not expect this to be done all the time. However, please rest assured that I will certainly clean MY stylus each time prior to testing a side of your vinyl.
PACKAGING: For vinyl, I will remove the record with its inner sleeve from the outer sleeve to eliminate danger of seam splits during shipping. I will not do this for box sets since the vinyl is already protected. However, custom inner sleeves (i.e., showing photos, lyrics, artwork, etc.) need to be similarly protected. In these cases, before shipping I will remove the record from THAT custom inner sleeve and place it in a SEPARATE generic sleeve. If a box set contains custom inner sleeves, I will follow the procedure above and place all materials back into the box case.
