ROBERT PALMER (LP) Heavy Nova. 1988. EMI-Manhattan Records E1-48057. EX

Description: Here is Robert Palmer's LP titled Heavy Nova. From 1988 on EMI Manhattan Records. (A division of Capitol Records Inc.) This is an SRC Pressing. The cover is in pretty good shape as it is still in shrinkwrap, but opened at the right side to let the LP out. There is also a shrinkwrap tear at the left side of the front under the name ROBERT. On the red sticker at the right side, the owner's name (Mari) is written on it in blue ink along with some underlining. The Mari name is also on the actual cardboard cover underneath the shrinkwrap at the right side under the VA of NOVA. The back cover has the Mari name also on the cover at the left side (under the shrinkwrap). There is ringwear showing on the back cover at the top mid section, but that is only on the shrinkwrap, not the cardboard cover. Inner sleeve is in great shape with lyrics on one side and a nice black/white drawing of a man holding a woman. Side 1 of the LP has only a light scuff and 2 surface scratches I could find and I could only take a photo of one of the surface scratches as the rest was too light. Side 2 had a couple surface scratches, too, but too light to take the photo. Sound quality was perfect! No skips, pops, crackles, or tics. Here is a minute and 34-second audio/video of Side 1 sections so you can hear the great sound quality. I rate the cover as Excellent (EX) except for the fact owner's name was written on the cardboard. The record gets an Excellent (EX) for very few surface scratches and Excellent to Near Mint (NM) for sound quality since no skips, pops, crackles, tics. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Feel free to email me for more information on an item.

No writing or scratches 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!
