Label (printed on album): 1983 Chrysalis Records PRIXX2. 3 Songs.
45 RPM.

Mirror Shiny flat (no scratches/scuffs when looking very closely into a light).

Record Gradings: To my best & 100% honest ability, these album grading’s (per
Goldmine website) fall in to these ranges.
I look into a light for scratches/scuffs and set the LP down to check
for any warpage. The last time I listened to my LP’s was in 1998 and
they played well. I have a Bang-Olufsen
Turntable, changed expensive diamond needles every few years, and balanced the
clean needle that allowed for the absolute minimal force on a record
groove. I sell my LP’s as is since I
cannot control differences in other’s turntables/needle care or performance.
Record History &
Storage Care: I no longer listen to my vinyl records and
decided to sell my entire personal collection. Very hard decision for me. I started collecting records 1973. 95% of all my records were purchased NEW from
Korvettes, Hudsons, Dearborn Music, Repeat the Beat, Record Outlet, Tower
Records, Sams Jams or Schoolkid Records (all in the Detroit/Ann Arbor area). For over 40 years, my records have been
stored on a vertical shelving unit. Whatever outside cover wear exists, it is from
sliding the records in/out from storage. They have never been stored in an attic.
Record Care-Handling-Selling
Criteria: My life’s record care was immaculate and I
never touched any of my record grooves. I’ve
always handled my albums with my right thumb on the record edge and my fingers
by the center hole. Whenever I did
listen to my albums, I used the Discwasher Record Care System. I never stacked record-on-record, and always
put the vinyl back into its sleeve after listening to it.
Packaging & Shipping: I make my own sturdy cardboard shipping
packages & place the record(s) in large oversized acid-free sleeves/bags,
and also wrapped in paper with 2 additional cardboard panels. I seal & protect the package with several
layers of industrial tape, and highlight orange “DO NOT BEND” on the package.
