Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Here is an LP by Bill Nelson (English singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer) called Vistamix. He used to be in Be-Bop Deluxe. This is from 1984 and on Portrait label BFR 39270. It has an interesting mix of artsy electronic music. The cover is in good shape, but has a little ringwear showing on the front cover at the top mid section and at the far right at the seam, the name Mari is written there, but very tiny. Back cover has ringwear showing at the upper mid section, too, and two light wrinkles at the top seam and one at the right seam near the barcode. Comes with an inner sleeve that has the song lyrics and more info on the songs. Side 1 of the record only has like a light scuff at the beginning song which didn't cause any sound problems. Side 2 has a circle-type surface mark on the 2nd song of which I managed to get a photo of. It didn't cause any defect when I played the side on my Technics system. That's about all I could find. Here's a one minute and 37-second audio/video to hear the great sound quality across Side 1. No skips, pops, crackles, or tics. All sounded perfect. I rate the album cover as Very Good Plus (VG+) only due to ringwear. The vinyl I give an Excellent for physical look, but also to Near Mint (NM) to Mint for sound quality being fantastic. No issues at all! Like it sounds new! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feel free to email me for more information on an item.

Let me send you an invoice combining both records to save on the postage costs.

SHIPPING: Will ship within one day of receiving payment and I will ship between Monday and Friday. Will ship in LP mailers with inserts and bubblewrap for protection. Will provide tracking number also within the USA. Ships out of the Cleveland, Ohio area via Media Mail. _______________________________________________________________________________ Guidelines I use to rate the quality of these records (based on the Goldmine Grading Guide): NM:Near Mint - Vinyl, still shiny, as if opened for the first time. 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!
