Description
From my personal collection, this is the rare 1982 45 RPM Nimbus pressing on Recommended Records, UK. The full-length album was short enough to be pressed at 45 RPM instead of its original 33, the idea being improved sound quality. I bought this used in about 1984, I think. The vinyl is play graded EX; I listened to this in its entirety recently, and it sounded great...just a few minor pops and ticks here and there in the quiet bits.
Let's call the cover an excellent VG+, if that makes any sense: there are a few flaws that keep me from wanting to grade it higher than VG+, but it looks fantastic. There are a few minor cat bite marks on the back and spine, a tiny little tear on the leading edge (back cover) and other than that some minor edge/spine/corner wear. Still a great looking copy, though: please see the many hi-res photos for the general lay of the land. I need to clear out some space, so this gem is in search of a new home.
