INFO:

Frankford/Wayne Mastering Labs (often abbreviated as F/W) was one of the most famous and prolific mastering studios in the history of American popular music, operating primarily out of Philadelphia and New York City.

Founded in the late 1960s by Frank Virtuoso (Frankford) and Wayne Kelley, the studio became legendary during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, cutting vinyl lacquers for many of the biggest names in soul, disco, Philadelphia soul (TSOP), hip-hop, electronic dance, and pop.

Key Engineers & Deadwax Signatures

When checking the run-out groove of a record mastered at Frankford/Wayne, you will typically find either a machine-stamped or hand-etched "Frankford/Wayne" (or "F/W") alongside the initials/signatures of their famous mastering engineers:

Great album

A Flock of Seagulls is the 1982 self-titled debut studio album by the English new wave / synth-pop band A Flock of Seagulls, released on Jive Records.

The album became a major international hit and a defining record of the early 1980s MTV era, largely driven by the distinctive synth work, Mike Score’s iconic waterfall hairstyle, and Paul Reynolds' echo-heavy guitar riffs.

Key Album Highlights

• Hit Singles:

  • "I Ran (So Far Away)" – Reached #9 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and #1 in Australia; became one of the defining tracks of 1980s synth-pop.

  • "Space Age Love Song" – Reached #30 on the Billboard Hot 100.

  • "Telecommunication" – A pioneering synth-wave track that became an underground club hit prior to the album's release.

  • "D.N.A." – Won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance in 1983.

• Chart Performance: Peaked at #10 on the US Billboard 200 and reached #32 on the UK Albums Chart.

I USE GOLDMINE RECORDS AS A GUIDE FOR GRADING: Still Sealed - SS

Mint - M - Perfect, never played, possibly still sealed.

Near Mint - NM - Nearly perfect. No obvious signs of wear, no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear, or other signs of slight handling. LP Jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits, or cut-out holes.

Very Good Plus - VG+ or Excellent- Shows some signs that it was played, and handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. May show slight signs of wear, scuffs, or very light scratches that didn't affect the listening. Slight warps that do not affect the sound. Label may have some ring wear, or discoloration. Picture sleeves & LP inner sleeves may have slight ring wear,lightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. Jacket may have slight signs of wear, and may have a cut-hole.

Very Good -VG - Same as VG+, and may have surface noise, groove wear will be noticeable, and scratches that affect the sound. Labels may have writing, tape, or stickers.

Good Plus - G+ -Good - G- Will play without skipping and have significant surface noise, visible scratches, and groove wear. Jacket will have seam splits at the bottom, or the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects.

I will grade all records honestly, and to the best of my ability. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. If you are not satisfied with a purchase please email me first to work it out before leaving negative feedback. Thank you so much.
