Description

PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER).  OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.


WILDLY RARE Chris Bellman mastered Santa Maria/Terre Haute US pressing of this stone second wave classic from 1980? on Chrysalis with SXT dead wax etching on side one, NO "T" or "T1" etching on either side and A Message To You Rudy with R and B Music Ltd. publishing credit on the side one label!!!  Release year is unclear as there isn't a single entry for this pressing ANYWHERE in the massive, sprawling Discogs database whatsoever.  THAT'S how you know it's rare.  I have had well over 30 copies of this LP pass through my hands in my 45 years of collecting and selling and I have never seen this SXT variant before.  VERY rare.  LP is a VERY nice VG+ with some light paper scuffs.  Cover is VG/VG+ with some light edge wear.


I USE GOLDMINE GRADING~ MINT (SEALED)  NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++:  VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF US VG+:  AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG:  STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR:  FILLER COPY ONLY.  LOTS OF SCRATCHES
