Description
THE RIPTIDES / RIPTIDES / Sleeve: NM / Disc: NM / VINYL LP / 1983 / BEACHTIME
LIMITED EDITION, HAND NUMBERED BY THE RIPTIDES - #294/515 HAND-GLUED FRONT AND BACK ARTWORK
Supposedly only 500 pressed, and on all other copies I've seen the hand-numbering has been out of 500, however, this copy clearly says 294/515. The album contains some rare songs like Growing Up In Brisbane and Kiss Nice.
The record is in superb NM condition, with unmarked vinyl and pristine white labels. It sounds beautifully clean on playing. The sleeve is gorgeous as well with just a tiny age freckle near the bottom right corner and another on the back. The white background has not yellowed. There is a light imprint from the record on the back at the very top. The right-upper corner of the hand-stuck front A4 print is not stuck down at all, as you can see no glue was applied there. The back A4 print is in pink paper (I know they came in different colours). The seams and edges on the cover are like new and the opening edge is nice and sharp.
Super condition on an Australian rarity of a great band.
All records listed are part of my private collection, with the majority having been bought new in the early to mid 80s in Sydney at legendary shops like White Light, Phantom, Waterfront, and Red Eye. Some were bought via mail from a record club. I've alwas been extremely fussy in taking care of them and as a result many are in amazing Near Mint condition. A lot of them look Mint but I don't usually class them as such. LPs were always stored in sealable plastic sleeves and stood upright. Singles were also kept in 7" plastic sleeves and upright. This is why a lot of the covers look close to new and the vinyl is so dust-free. More importantly, I hardly ever played them as I had the tendency to put them on cassette and play the tape instead (old school talk). This means that a lot of them don't look played. When played they were done so on a nice Thorens turntable and the stylus was regularly changed. There were some that were bought second-hand but I always tried to choose nice copies.
Each record is listened to prior to listing so you can bid on it with confidence.
A MINT record looks like new with no marks on it. A NEAR MINT record is a record that is virtually in As New condition with maybe one or two almost invisible marks and often no marks at all. An EX record is in great condition with a few hairline marks that don't affect the sound. All records will be expertly packed using a cardboard box with packing foam and or bubble wrap. The vinyl is removed from the covers and printed inners to avoid seam splits. This offers excellent protection to the records you've just spent money on. I can do a combined invoice if you buy more than 1 item. Just request an invoice before paying.
