SUEDE

"DOG MAN STAR"

CONDITION VINYL: I HAVE DECIDED TO LISTEN TO THIS RECORD TO DECIDE WHAT THE CONDITION IS AS IT LOOKS NEAR PERFECT VISUALLY WITH JUST ONE SMALL SURFACE SPOT THAT LOOKS LIKE IT COULD CAUSE A POP OR TWO. I'M GLAD I DID AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH THE VISUAL GRADING SYSTEM THAT EVERBODY USES. IT IS A USELESS SYSTEM. THERE ARE VERY LIGHT POPS ( A COUPLE) ON SOME TRACKS AND ON OTHER TRACKS NO POPS AT ALL. BECAUSE OF THE WAY THIS AMAZING RECORD WAS RECORDED THERE ARE MANY AREAS WHERE THERE THE MUSIC GETS VERY SOFT AND VERY FAINT. THIS MAINLY OCCURS AS THE SONG ENDINGS AS THEY TEND TO FADE OUT FOR A VERY LONG LONG TIME GETTING FAINTER AND FAINTER AND FAINTER. AS IT RUNS OFF INTO THE GROOVE ON SOME CUTS YOU CAN PICK UP A VERY VERY SLIGHT BACKROUND NOISE. THIS CAN ALSO OCCUR ON SOME CUTS AS IT JUST STARTS IF IT IS REALLY A FAINT START. I REALLY CAN'T DO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS IN DESCRIBING THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL.

(BY THE WAY, I WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH SUEDE UNTIL I LISTENED TO THIS RECORD AND I THINK IT IS ONE OF THE MOST SUBTLE AND BEAUTIFUL RECORDS THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD. I WAS SHOCKED.)

CONDITION COVER: THE GATEFOLD COVER IS SIGNED ON THE FRONT WITH 4 SIGNATURES. THE CONDITION OF THE COVER SHOWS CREASING AROUND THE EDGES, SOME EDGE WEAR, A BEND LOWER LEFT CORNER AND A BEND IN UPPER RIGHT CORNER. IT HAS 2 SEEM SPLITS AT THE BOTTOM ONE ON THE FRONT GATEFOLD AND ONE ON THE BACK OF THE GATEFOLD BOTH EXACTLY THE SAME WIDTH WHICH IS ABOUT AN INCH. THERE IS A BIT OF SCUFFING. THIS IS SURPRISING GIVEN THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL.

THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD IS QUITE NICE WITH SIX PHOTOS AND ALL LYRICS. THERE IS NO SCUFFING AT ALL ON THE INSIDE OF GATEFOLD.

THIS RECORD COUNTS AS 2 RECORDS FOR SHIPPING PURPOSES EXCEPT IN THE UNITED STATES WHERE IS A FLAT $4.00 MEDIA RATE.

THE LABEL IS: POLYGRAM MUSIC LTD. ( I AM ASSUMING THAT THIS IS AN IMPORT COPY)

CATALOG NUMBER IS: NUDE 3LP

INTERNATIONAL

INSURANCE

INSURANCE IS AVAILABLE BUT AT A HIGH PRICE DO TO THE U.S. POST OFFICE REGULATIONS. THEY REQUIRE YOU TO SEND A DIFFENT RATE CLASS TO INSUFE OVERSEAS PACKAGES. THE RATE CAN BE AS MUCH AS $20 OR MORE WHICH INCLUDES THE RATE CLASS CHANGE AND THE INSURANCE AMOUNT. I'M NOT NECESSARILY SUGGESTING YOU TAKE OUT INSURANCE BUT REMEMBER YOU WILL BE BUYING AT YOUR OWN RISK WITHOUT IT. I CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST OR DAMAGED PACKAGES OVERSEAS UNLESS YOU HAVE INSURANCE. THIS IS HARD AND FAST RULE. JUST BE SURE YOU HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ADDRESS AT PAYPAL AS THAT IS THE ADDRESS I USE. YOU MIGHT GO BACK AND CHECK THE PAYPAL ADDRESS YOU USE AND TWEEK IT IF IT LOOKS A LITTLE OFF. I'M SORRY FOR THE HIGH INSURANCE RATES. THEY ARE SHOCKING BUT THE U.S. POST OFFICE IS PLAIN AND SIMPLY A RIP OFF. I DO THE VERY BEST IN PACKING THESE RECORDS USING HEAVY DUTY MAILER, BUT WHO KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT LEAVES PORTLAND.

BE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD SECURE DELIVERY ADDRESS AND BE SURE YOUR PAYPAL SHIPPING ADDRESS IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

RESALE RULE

ITEMS NOT PAID FOR WITHIN 10 DAYS WILL BE RELISTED OR PUT OUT IN RECORD STORE AND BIDDING PRIVILGES REVOKED FOR THE FUTURE.

THIS IS THE ANOTHER REASON YOU SHOULD CONSIDER USING PAYPAL WHICH ONLY REQUIRES SECONDS TO PAY.

THANKS AND EMAIL WITH QUESTIONS AT ANY TIME.

SOMETIMES I TAKE A DAY OFF SO EMAILS MAY SIT FOR 24 HOURS, BUT THIS IS RARE!!!

ATTENTION NEW BIDDERS!!!

PLEASE ONLY BID IF YOU INTEND TO FOLLOW THROUGH!!!!!!

THOSE WHO DON'T FOLLOW THROUGH WILL BE UNABLE TO BID IN MY FUTURE AUCTIONS.

I REALLY DO APOLOGIZE FOR THIS

BUT IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM

THANKS VERY MUCH AND I APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT
