TRUSTY - Sweet inspiration
Original USA LP
Pueblo Club Productions (CLR-821)
Rare USA private pressing that very rarely surfaces for sale. A relatively recent discovery, this album is a step above a lot of private pressings. The arrangements and production are very professional and include a soft psych feel in parts. There's a full band here with some great playing too including the odd psych guitar lick. Sometimes crosses over into AOR territory and even some country rock guitar lines.
The sleeve is a rear pasted sleeve and has no tears, no splits, no bends, no writing etc. Just some light rubbing and light ringwear.
The record is visually vg but this in not due to play. It has very rarely been on a turntable. There are no scratches, no hairlines and no needle marks. It does however have a lot of discolouration markings which is common with many private pressing. A mix of a cheap pressing using part recycled vinyl and then being sleeved before it had cooled completely.
The playback is absolutely superb, a strong excellent to near mint sound even when played on our sensitive set up with an elliptical stylus.
Please note that our grading has nothing to do with the age of the record, we grade all records the same whether they are 40 years old or 1 year old.
CONDITION
Sleeve: VG+
Record: VG (visually vg due to pressing not due to play wear. Near mint playback)
Our grading is strict so as not to disappoint, we have been selling on ebay since 1998 & know how important this is. Grading of records is done with the record angled under a 100 Watt bulb. Scans are of actual item up for auction. All records are packed securely & most importantly packed outside of the picture sleeve (in a plain inner sleeve) so as to avoid seam splits during shipping.
Please note that we do NOT use noise reduction on our sound files so you get to hear how the record plays. We use a Technics SL1210 MK2 which are well known for giving a slightly worse sound quality when hooked up to a computer as to what you'll hear through the stereo.

Near Mint
Almost mint. Very minor paper scuffs and very little else can appear on the vinyl. This will most likely have occurred during packaging, or removing the record from the inner sleeve but obviously it had been handled with extreme care. Any flaw should be very hard to see. The cover should look as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and/or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork should be as close to perfect as can be.
Excellent
An excellent condition for vinyl will allow minor scuffs (Scuffs lay on top of the grooves) which are visible but only slightly.The wear should be minimal.The play should be close to perfect as well. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear. Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show a little white, meaning slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs.
VG++
As Excellent but with a larger number of scuffs, maybe a couple of hairlines (very light scratch that can't be felt) or a couple of marks. Sound quality should still be very close to that of an Excellent record with only minor crackle in quiet segments only, NO scratches that can be felt. Cover as Excellent but there may be a small seam split on the cover, or a very minimal amount of writing like a name written in small writing or a number. A VG++ record should be an acceptable record to live with if you aren't looking to pay the price of a Near Mint copy.
