Description

  • Artist & Title:  William R. Strickland ~ Is Only The Name
  • Label & Cat #:  1969 UK Deram ?– SML 1041 stereo
  • Vinyl Grade: VG+  play graded  *clean copy w/ shiny gloss, playing solid to strong VG+
  • Cover Grade: VG+ *light wear only w/some creasing on lamination (jacket laminated on front only). The back cover shows the ''indicator hole'' to let the inner sleeve peep through: blue = stereo, red = mono. 
  • Notes: American, poet/singer/songwriter William R. Strickland paired with keyboardist/synthesizer player Philip Springer and placed under the direction of Buddy Kaye for one of the most the unique albums of the age.  Skittering electronics pinged and pongs across "Computer Lover," a sci-fi romance that absolutely predicted later electronic music (not least of all great swathes of ELP's "Karn Evil 9 Third Impression"). And then you ventured into the LP to discover a quite astonishing collision between beat-styled poetry and progressive rock.  (AllMusic) 
  • All photos are actual images of the item for sale.
  • All records are sleeved and removed from jacket to prevent any seam splitting, and both then shipped inside a poly album sleeve.
GRADING STANDARDS: 

  • (M) Mint: Record and cover appear absolutely perfect in every way.  Grade is seldom used, even with sealed albums where the record itself can only be assumed to be mint.
  • (NM) Near Mint: Vinyl is shiny with no obvious signs of wear and plays perfectly with no audible imperfections. Cover is close to perfect with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident. 
  • (EX or VG++) Excellent /Very Good ++: Record or jacket has a minimum of audible or visual imperfections. Vinyl has been handled and played very carefully. Light paper scuffs and/or spindle marks may be visible with no appreciable lessening in sound quality. Covers show very minor signs of handling and wear. 
  • (VG+) Very Good Plus: Record displays light scuffs, spindle marks or very light scratches that may create some noise disturbances, but don't affect one's overall listening experience. Jacket begins to show more prominent signs of storage wear and aging.
  • (VG) Very Good: Defects are more pronounced with visible signs of handling and playing. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially during soft passages and a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Covers may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached, although none of the flaws should be overwhelming. 
  • (G) Good / (G+)Good Plus: Vinyl will have scratches and visible groove wear. Record plays without skipping, although noticeable surface noise or ticks will be heard. Jackets have even more pronounced defects such as seam splits, tape, writing, ring wear, water damage or other defects.
