SHOES (LP/PROMO) Present Tense. 1979. Elektra 6E-244. EX/NM

Description: Here are the SHOES with their Promo LP called Present Tense. From 1979. On a white label Elektra 6E-244. In Stereo. The Shoes were from Zion, Illinois! This was actually recorded and mix in England and then mastered in New York. Twelve songs on the album. This is a tough one to sell because I really like the Shoes! (But I can live with the one on CD!) It comes with a blue inner sleeve and one side has all the lyrics. Barely any ringwear showing up on both sides. Gold promo stamp at bottom right corner of front cover. There is a white little sticker at the upper right corner and also above that is a blue ink name of Mari on it. Back cover also has the name Mari on it at the upper left corner. Zoom in on the back cover top to see the song titles or see them on the record labels. Side seam is in great shape. The corners on the front cover just have a little bit of white wear. Side 1 only has about 2 super light surface scratches that were too light to photograph. Side 2 has 1 light scuff and 2 light surface scratches and managed to get one photo of the one scuff here. None of these couple of surface scratches or scuffs caused any sound problems. No skips, pops, crackles, or tics. Here is a 106-second audio/video of sections from Side 1 so you can hear the sound quality. (I know I have the treble on a little high, but then you can hear any crackles, but there aren't any of those here!) I give the cover sleeve a Very Good Plus (VG+) due to a name being on both sides and sticker. The vinyl get an Excellent (EX) to Near Mint (NM). Excellent due to only a couple surface scratches/scuffs, but NM for sound quality! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Feel free to email me for more information on an item.

No writing or stickers on the vinyl. No obvious scratches. Label: No writing or stickers and no fading of the label. NM-: Near Mint Minus - Similar to NM but will have some very light scratches on the vinyl not affecting the sound quality. No writing or stickers on label and no fading (or ringwear) on cover or label. EX: Excellent - Not quite a Goldmine Standard Listing, but being used by many now. Cover: No ink wear, minor creases to corners, no seam tears. Vinyl can have scratches, but not felt by your fingers. Sound quality must be mint. No more than 15% of the surface should have wear or scuffs on it. To me, EX is like a VG++. VG+: Very Good Plus - Similar to NM- except that on the label, there may be a sticker or writing, but it shows very little wear. There may be only a couple light surface scratches on the grooves, but do not affect the playback with noise or skips. You may only see these scratches if you put them under a bright light and really look for them. The cover might have light creasing or minor seam or corner wear, but still in great condition to show off. VG to VG-: Very Good to Very Good Minus - May not be that shiny anymore and you will see scratches without putting it under a bright light, but they still would not affect the quality of the playback. The sound quality is still pretty good, maybe a little noise, but not enough to detract from the listening experience. The label might have some fading around it, besides having stickers or writing. The cover may have obvious ringwear in the middle or around the perimeter of where the record was, maybe some side seam splits, or little tears at the top or side where the record goes back into. If less defects, then it's a VG. If it has all this just mentioned, then a VG-. G, G+: Good or Good Plus - It doesn't mean the vinyl is trashed. It plays though without skipping, but may have heavy noise or fuzz sound because of age, quality, or worn-down grooves. Heavy writing or stickers on the label, ringwear is very obvious on label and cover probably has seam splits. But, amazingly, if you have special audio LP recording software, you could probably clean up those crackles and fuzzes, if you want to create a CD of it for yourself. P: Poor - This is when the vinyl is warped to the point it warps the playback also. Or it's cracked, but it may or may not still play without a skip. If a picture sleeve is with it, this is torn or marked up bigtime. But someone may want to have it for nostalgia or even attempt to fix it. See my other listings for more great items!
