ROMANTICS (LP/Reissue/Carrollton) The Romantics. Nemperor Records PZ 36273. EX

Description: Here is the band The Romantics with their first LP just called The Romantics. Came out in 1980, but I understand this one is actually a reissue on Nemperor Records PZ 36273. So I don't know the exact year it was reissued, but maybe even the same year, under this label. They started out in Detroit, Michigan in 1977. The cover is in great shape as it has the shrinkwrap still on it, but opened at the right and left side. There is a NICE PRICE sticker on the front cover that has the name Mari written on it in blue ink. I will have to include a white or beige inner sleeve since when I pulled the record out, there wasn't the inner sleeve there. No ringwear on either side. The side seam is perfect. Side 1 of the vinyl only has a couple of light surface scratches and a photo of that is here. Side 2 only has some surface scratches, too, and a photo of that is here (besides some dust which I will clean off when mailing). The sound quality was great. Here is a 1 minute 34-second audio/video of Side 1 I took on my iPhone to get it on here so you can hear the great sound quality still! No skips, pops, crackles or even ticks. I rate the sleeve as Excellent (EX) since shrinkwrap was still on, but opened. The vinyl gets a Near Mint (NM) for sound quality since no skips, pops, crackles. But only because there were a couple of surface marks it should get an Excellent (EX) since it was minimal. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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!
