BADFINGER WISH YOU WERE HERE 1974 POWER POP LP RARE WITHDRAWN PROMO EXCELLENT

$

30

Withdrawn from record stores within weeks of it's initial release because of legal wrangling between Band management and Warner, this critically celebrated release from Badfinger never enjoyed the wider recognition it deserved. With passage of time many music fans and insiders have come to recognize the album as Badfinger's finest hour ~ unfortunately there are few copies of this wonderful record that made it out into the world ~ and the fact that the record has never been reissued since its breif original release has rendered the record more valuable to collectors
For this auction I am offering a promo copy is archival condition
VINYL: EX ~ mostly looks NM ~ glossy clean surfaces ~one fine line mark on side II ~ has some light grey haze spots ~ clean labels
JACKET: EX ~ some saw marks ~ faint ring wear ~ remains sharp and crisp like a new jacket.
SOUND: side 1 plays clean ~ side 2 has a bit of crackles on the opening track "in the meantime".

             RECORD GRADING

I DO NOT GRADE SOUND! ALL GRADING ARE CONSERVATIVE AND VISUALLY BASED. MY GOAL IS TO DESCRIBE THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE ITEM AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE. ALL RECORDS ARE PREVIOUSLY CLEANED BEFORE VISUAL GRADING TO ENSURE ACCURACY.

GRADING SOUND IS FUTILE BECAUSE SOUND IS AFFECTED BY PICK UP EQUIPMENT. WHAT I WILL DO IS PLAY TEST THE RECORD WITH MY $1,000.00 CARTRIDGE AND REPORT WHAT I HEARD AND THE BUYER CAN MAKE THEIR OWN JUDGEMENT.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE WILL I PROMISE A BUYER THAT A ANY RECORD EVEN A SEALED ONE IS FREE OF MARKS, HAIRLINES, FINE LINES OR MICRO LINES. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A RECORD IN ALL MY YEARS OF COLLECTING.EVEN A BRAND NEW RECORD IF YOU TAKE IT OUT AND EXAMINE IT UNDER STRONG LIGHT WILL SHOW A FEW SPECS OF LINES. NEAR MINT OR MINT DOES NOT IN ANY WAY IMPLY THAT A RECORD IS PERFECT. 

I DO NOT HAVE ANY PERFECT VINYL IN MY COLLECTION AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE.
