EXILE (LP) Mixed Emotions. 1978. WB/CURB BSK 3205. Jacksonville press. VG+

Description: Here is the band Exile with their 1978 LP called Mixed Emotions. It's the 3rd LP by them and It topped #14 in the Billboard's Top LP and Tapes in 1978. From this LP, Kiss You All Over and You Thrill Me songs became singles. This is on the Warner Bros. label with CURB Records BSK 3205. The front cover shows some light whitish ringwear around it and same with the back cover. Front cover has some wrinkles in the bottom seam and left side seam. The side seam has a few tears in it where the artist name and title are. (2 photos of that is here.) Inner sleeve has one beige side and the other side shows an ad to buy a $2.00 record set. A couple of tears at the top of the inner sleeve and a light stain at the middle right side. And a wrinkle at the bottom left corner. Side 1 of the record in the label area has a name Lori written on it in blue ink. The side has about 8 surface scratches on it. Here is a photo of one section that show several short scratches. Side 2 has about 8 surface scratches and scuffs and 2 photos of that are here, too. The good thing is there were no skips or pops. There were some very light crackles here and there, but not loud enough to obviously notice it. Like just a little 'background noise that was very very light here and there. And here is a minute and 40 second-audio/video of Side 1 sections so you can hear some of the very light crackles and see if that is okay with you. I rate the cover as just Very Good (VG) only because of the flaking seams and ringwear. The vinyl is at only Very Good Plus (VG+) instead of Excellent (EX) because of the surface scratches and a little bit of very light crackles here and there. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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!
