Bear's Notes on SPECTRUM:
SONIC BOOM, aka Pete Kember of SPACEMEN 3, delivers the goods on his first solo effort, issued overseas on Silvertone in 1990. Guests include members of SPIRITUALIZED & PERFECT DISASTER. The sound is trippy, spacey modern British Psyche. SPECTRUM was released on vinyl (briefly) with one of the wildest, most creative packages ever seen : an open up cover with spinning plastic Op Art discs + a special inner sleeve & custom labels... Please see AMG for a well-written review of this LP. Dreamy & freaky, this record is a real treat. Includes cover versions of a SUICIDE song & the Doc Pomus' classic "Lonely Avenue".
Take the trip with Mr. BOOM !!

A SIMPLE VINYL GRADING SYSTEM :

Mint: Still Sealed/Unplayed/Unopened
Mint minus (M-): New and Possibly Unplayed ; a rarely used grade.
Near Mint (NM): Like-new, with little or no visible wear; very collectible.
Near Mint minus (NM-): almost like-new, perhaps very slight signs of age, play or wear that are strictly cosmetic.
Excellent (EX) Very Good double-plus (VG++): Way above average, very nice, no serious flaws; played, not abused.
Very Good plus (VG+): An above average used LP; a few visible surface marks or paper scuffs; slight surface noise.
Very Good (VG) : An average used LP, far from perfect; a few light scratches. Some noise; plays through, no skips.
Very Good minus (VG-) : Reveals lots of wear when viewed or spun but is not actually defective or warped.




LP Cover grading is a much less exact, more subjective science. Generally, the truly collectible grades range from Mint to Excellent (VG++) depending on general wear. Main cover flaws such as split seams or spine splits, ring wear, cut or bent corners, hole punches, writing, water damage etc. should always be mentioned in a proper auction listing. These factors will combine to determine the grade. Please email if you desire even more details about any LP cover, record, insert or poster listed by Bear's Wax 2.
