Description

Artist/Band: GRANICUS

Album Title: Granicus

Format: Promo stereo LP

TRACK LIST:

Side A: You’re In America; Bad Talk; Twilight; Prayer

Side B: Cleveland, Ohio; Nightmare; When You’re Movin’; Paradise

Label/Catalogue No: RCA APL1-0321

Country of Manufacture: USA

Year of Release: 1973

Matrix/Stamper No.s: APL 1-0321 A-1 / APL 1-0321 B-1

Cover: Original non-laminated single cover, printed in the U.S.A. There is some light ringwear and some light wear around the corners and edges, but no seam splits. The opening edges are fairly clean with just a hint of feathering. The spine has a few cracks, particularly at the top of the spine, causing the catalogue number to be partially obscured, but the rest of the text is clear and legible. There is a ‘NOT FOR SALE/PROMOTION USE ONLY’ stamp pressed into the back top-left corner. Overall, a nice cover for its age, but someone has highlighted two of the songs on the back using a yellow highlighter pen; hence, downgraded to VG+.

Inner Sleeve: Plain white paper inner sleeve with no seam splits.

Labels: Original orange RCA Victor labels with no evidence of spindle wear on either side.

Vinyl: Original RCA ‘Dynaflex’ pressing, which looks near-mint under normal lighting. Under a halogen light, I can see a few fine sleeve-removal hairlines, which do not affect playback. Dynaflex records were renowned for noisy vinyl and, accordingly, there is some light background noise, but this can only really be heard in-between tracks or during the quieter moments (of which there aren’t that many!). Otherwise, no skips pops or distortion. Grades VG+ to EX.

Additional Info: All of the vinyl that I am selling is from my personal collection, and has been cleaned on a VPI HW 16.5 Record Cleaning Machine. After cleaning, I keep my records in ‘Mobile Fidelity’ rice paper inner sleeves and store them with the records outside of the covers.
