Description
From my personal collection. Bought new. Cutout notch of upper corner. More or less a new record and sleeve. I checked this LP in several tracks, and although a lot of it sounds "Mint", I am giving it a "Mint Minus". There are a few pops and clicks (probably due to the pressing rather than wear).
A little digression on record grading: decades ago I sold vinyl via Goldmine magazine. As some sellers did, I would have both a visual and audio grading. The records I am selling on eBay, unless specifically noted in the description, are free of any visually-detectable damage like scratches, scuffed surfaces, warps, and the like. I do not have one of the modern record cleaning machines, but do/did religiously clean them with DiscWasher brushes whenever played. That being said, a cleaning with an electric cleaner can often clean up the sound on decades-old vinyl.
Thus, my record grade is solely on the basis of surface noise. But I do not play them all the way through; there's not enough time in the day! If a record I sell you has a skip that I missed, I will happily accept a return. Sometimes a too-low tracking force is used, which can cause a skip, as some are under the impression this will preserve the surface. Interestingly, a too-low tracking force can increase wear on the grooves; among other reasons dynamic passages can make the stylus ride up on the sides of the groove. Depending on the tonearm and cartridge used, I recommend a tracking force between 1.2 and 1.9 grams. As for anti-skate, the rule of thumb is to use the same setting as the tracking force. For more accuracy, one can use a blank area of a record to check the anti-skate, as sometimes the optimal amount is not the same as the tracking force. A big factor is the quality and dynamics of the tonearm being used.
Do not mistake static discharge through the cartridge for pops and clicks due to debris in the grooves.
I will give an already-played record the highest rating ("mint") unless it is absolutely pristine. Many of my "near mint" or "excellent" items might be rated by other sellers as a full "mint".
I always combine shipping. New items, not exclusively vinyl, will appear each week if the stars align, so check my listings frequently.
This original record by THE SUICIDE COMMANDOS is a rare find for any pop rock music lover. The vinyl has been graded as Mint (M) and the sleeve is also in excellent shape. The record label adds to the collectability of this piece.
