Product Description
BIG STAR "RADIO CITY" ARDENT STEREO LP ADS-1501 ORIGINAL PROMO U.S. PRESSING THE RECORD HAS STOCK LABELS AND THE PROMOTIONAL STICKER ON THE COVER HAS BEEN REMOVED BUT THERE IS RESIDUE AND SLIGHT DAMAGE IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER WHERE IT HAD BEEN. TO OUR KNOWLEDGE, THE ALBUM WAS NEVER ISSUED WITH ANY OTHER STICKERS ATTACHED BESIDES THE PROMO STICKER. ORIGINAL PALE BLUE ARDENT LABELS WITH “CLOUDS” BACKGROUND AND “CONVERGING ARROWS” LOGO WITH THICK CARDBOARD COVER. THE COVER IS IN VG++ CONDITION WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED STICKER RESIDUE AND SLIGHT DAMAGE, A CUT MARK IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER (AGAIN, PROBABLY AN INDICATION OF THE ALBUM HAVING BEEN A PROMO). THE VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY VERY LIGHT WEAR! ALSO INCLUDED IS THE ORIGINAL STAX LABEL INNER SLEEVE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION!! This is easily the single most praised popular and critical cult favorite of the 70s: the much-sought Big Star's second - and according to Alex Chilton who consistently refused to recognize their third album - the last real album released by the Big Star. Big Star, who were neighbors, contemporaries and label-mates (Ardent was a Stax subsidiary) of such Stax/Volt legends as Booker T. and the MG's, Carla and Rufus Thomas, or Albert King, created a lasting masterpiece of rocking urgency, bold harmonies, twanging guitars, intricate chord changes and some real loud, intense R&R. A masterpiece of 70s power-pop, and a great album, if ever we’d met one. The album was pressed as the band was disintegrating, to minimal promotion and advertising, and nice copies are brutally hard to come by. This is one such rare opportunity.

MINT = like new or near new with only one or two small insignificant defects, a 9 or better on a 1-10 scale
EXCELLENT = Would be Near Mint, except for a couple of light hairlines or scuffs, which do not affect play
VG++ = still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light, surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like which should not materially affect play
VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.
VG = a well-used record that still should sound OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.
Good = not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in the way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like
Fair = you’re getting this record just to own but not to play
Poor = the sky’s the limit, generally I will discard a record this bad (and sell the cover, jacket or sleeve alone) unless the label holds some particular interest
