Steve Winwood Back In The High Life ************************
I
ran a record shop from 1968-1978, so many records were bought and filed
away as I listened to most enough at work! This said, many were played
once and some have never been played.
First and Foremost, these are not some records I found in a yard sale or thrift store!!
These were bought new by me in the 60's and
70' or provided by the record company as Promotional copies back them! The Exception to the rule! Albums from my Blues Collection may have been bought used as finding old Blues albums new is not an easy task so some of them were bought used but were in excellent condition when bought but may have condition issues with the cover.
The listing will advise you if they were.
************************ Record Information *********************** Check the pictures and feedback for one of the nicest copies available on the internet!

years old. Functional but not new for a long time) ************************ Official Release Information Label: Island 254481 Released: 1986 Format: 12" vinyl LP (album), 33 1/3 RPM Disc Condition Near Mint Visual Inspection Looks Unplayed but may have spindle marks
Cover Condition Near Mint Visual Inspection No notable exceptions Dead Wax Information (A)T23547 Sterling 24558 A (B) DMM Sterling L12590-X A S1 B23543 Why Pressing/Dead wax information is important? Like a knife, the more times the master cuts into vinyl the duller it gets. Each subsequent pressing gets duller, rolling out the crisp cut of the original pressing. This results in less sonic resonance. The first pressings are the truest duplication of what the master engineer intended. The mastering also matter. The Mastering engineer critically listens to the tape recording, making critical adjustment to them as he goes. This can create very different listening experiences from disc to disc. This is why you see Re-Mastered so often, to improve (or sometime the opposite) the original sound. ************************* Artist Information ************************* Surfin' Safari is the debut studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released on October 29, 1962 on Capitol Records. The official production credit went to Nick Venet, though it was Brian Wilson with his father Murry who contributed substantially to the album's production; Brian also wrote or co-wrote nine of its 12 tracks. The album peaked at No. 32 in its 37-week run on the US charts. The album was preceded by two singles: "Surfin'" and "Surfin' Safari", which charted at Nos. 75 and 14, respectively. The success of "Surfin' Safari" helped secure a full album for the group while an additional single, "Ten Little Indians", was issued, charting at No. 49. ********************* International Buyers Welcome Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost.

I started collecting records and music memorabilia in about 1968. While traipsing around Southeast Asia for Uncle Sam, music was that lifeline to home and the world we came from. When I returned home to New Jersey, I became involved in the music industry and music became a passion. Needless to say I am not a kid anymore and since I lost my hearing I want to find good homes for these treasures and not see them end up at the Yard Sale of my life! What you see at my store is a collection of these treasures. Over the past 30 years I have sold off many very rare and hard to find items and have many, many more to offer. My passion for the rarest of rare and the finest quality available is still reflected in what you are offered here! Enjoy!!
Marquee D'Sounde ? The Marquee D'Sounde was a music promotion company that I formed in the 70's. An obvious play on words, with the Marquis' De Sade and Marquee of Sound. It promoted a variety of music related venues, hence the Marquee for displaying our offerings. At record trade shows in the late 70's and early 80's as well as in Goldmine magazine the name Marquee D'Sounde became synonymous with the best quality available in collectibles! As you can see from the Feedback, I provide Quality Items and fast reliable service with secure packaging. Many buyers are repeat buyers! ********************* A Brief Discussion On Condition ********************* SEALED ALBUMS Historically
sealed albums have been selling for huge prices simply because they are
sealed. Sealed albums are in many cases a later pressing bought in some
bargain bin or reissues that have since gone out of print. Prime
examples are the ones with the ?Nice Price? stickers. You can be assured
these are later pressings off of old masters. Not always but quite
frequently. Rarely did the first pressing of any record make it to the
bargain bin unless the record was a flop. That's not to say that a flop
back then isn't a treasure today. We find that frequently and in those
cases a sealed album is a treasure. Back
in the day every record distributor had a sealing machine and would
reseal albums. These would end up in the bargain bins. That is why you
see the stretching on the corners of many of them offered on eBay.
Original sealed albums will usually be squared on the cover and not have
signs of stretching around the corners. Unless you plan on leaving the
album sealed and reselling it, you are better off with a true Near Mint
to Mint pressing from a reputable record dealer. You know what you get. Cleaning Machines
All
of these claims regarding complicated record cleaning systems mean you
are getting records that have not had the care they should have had. If
the record was cared for properly it won't need these complicated
cleanings! A quick spin on the VPI will remove any soiling not caused by
abuse. A properly cared for album (NM or M) should look as close as possible to the record that came out when it was first opened.
When you see a record that has been PLAY
TESTED, the seller doesn't know the history of the album. Usually bought
used in a thrift store or yard sale!
What I offer!!
Most
records come from my personal collection accumulated during my years in
the music industry. When purchased new or received as a promotional
copy, the album or single was placed in a plastic outer sleeve and
sometimes a plastic inner sleeve. When possible the records will include
these plastic sleeves. Many were never played! I
rate rather conservatively but work closely with Goldmine standards. My
Near Mint ratings are generally what everybody else rates as Mint or
Brand New. I
try very hard to give accurate descriptions of the records and check
them prior to shipment to ensure that the condition advertised is indeed
what I ship. If there is something that I missed I will notify you
prior to shipment. In turn, if you receive your record and the condition
is not what you expected, let me know and we will arrange to return the
record with a full refund.
