TANGERINE DREAM (LP/Reissue/Gatefold) Rubycon. 1981. Virgin VI 2025. EX/NM

Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Here is Tangerine Dream with their reissue of their 1975 record called Rubycon. This reissue came out in 1981 under Virgin International on the record label, but manufactured and distributed by JEM Records Inc in New Jersey and California which is written on the bottom of the back cover. The LP cover still has shrinkwrap on it, but open at the right seam. Since this is a gatefold cover and it is in shrinkwrap, the gatefold has not been opened so I don't have a photo of the inside gatefold. On the front cover up at the left, the shrinkwrap is slightly torn about 4" across. There is a die-cut in upper left corner at the top seam. Right upper side has a white sticker partially removed. Back cover has shrinkwrap slightly torn at the bottom left corner No ringwear showing anywhere. Record comes in a plain white inner sleeve. The vinyl is in almost in near mint condition until you look under a super bright lamp. Side 1 I saw only 1 tiny surface scratch and a really light scuff that caused no sound problems. Side 2 only saw a couple of tiny dots in one area that looks like a surface scratch about an inch away from the beginning. Impossible to get photos as they are too light. Here is a minute and 34-second audio/video of Side 1 moving in different sections so you can hear the great sound quality. No skips, pops, or crackles/tics. I rate the album cover as Excellent since the gatefold still covers the other seams so you cannot open it. The vinyl gets a Near Mint (NM) grading, but because of the couple of super light surface scratches, I have to give it at least an Excellent (EX)! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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!
