BERLIN (LP/Reissue) Pleasure Victim. 1983. Geffen GHS 2036. EX

Description: Here is the 1983 album by Berlin called Pleasure Victim. It says 1982 on the label, but that was the first release date on Enigma Records. This is a reissue under Geffen Records in early 1983. Singer is Terri Nunn. They formed in Los Angeles in 1978. They have still put out more albums up to 2019 and 2020! The cover sleeve is in good condition. The open right side has some a little wear to it like in the form of light scratches along the open seam. No ringwear. But the name Mari is in blue ink at the upper right side and also on the back side on the left upper side. Side seam where the artist and label names are has a few little white marks/tears on it. A couple of wrinkle lines along the left side seam on the front cover. The inside sleeve has one side of her photo and lyrics on the other side. Side 1 of the album only has a couple of surface scratches and Side 2 has a couple, too. But they were light enough to no cause any defects-no skips, pops, or crackles or tics. I managed to photograph a couple of the scratches here. Sound was great. 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 Very Good Plus (VG+). The sound quality gets an Excellent as no skips, pops, or crackles. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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!
