Description
PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER). OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.
HUGE Stronger Than Pride lot!
1) Stronger Than Pride LP - RARE original Herb Powers, Jr. mastered Carrollton first pressing of this stunning quiet storm masterpiece on Epic from 1988 with big four-song hype sticker in the top right hand corner on the front cover and printed inner sleeve with complete lyrics!!! LP is a beautiful VG++/NM-. Cover has a light crease in the top left hand corner and is still in the original shrink wrap. Even has the original custom barcoded Kmart price sticker in the top right hand corner on the front cover. A high grade copy with impeccable provenance. This is what collecting is about.
2) Love Is Stronger Than Pride 45 - Herb Powers, Jr. mastered Carrollton pressing on Epic in the original sleeve with Make Some Room on the B-side! Vinyl is a beautiful VG++/NM-. Labels and sleeve are spectacular.
3) Paradise 45 - Vlado Meller mastered picture sleeve pressing on Epic from 1988 with Super Bian Total on the B-side! Vinyl is easily VG, close to VG+, with a few light paper scuffs. Sleeve is VG++ with a hint of ring.
4) Nothing Can Come Between Us 45 - Herb Powers, Jr. mastered Pitman picture sleeve pressing from 1988 on Epic with Make Some Room on the flip! Vinyl is VG+ with some light cosmetic clouding on side A. Cover is VG/VG- with a 2 and a half inch split at the opening on top on the left hand side.
5) Turn My Back On You 45 - Herb Powers, Jr. mastered Carrollton pressing from 1988 on Epic in the original sleeve with the equally sensual Keep Looking on the reverse! Vinyl is a gorgeous VG++/NM-. Labels are beautiful as well.
6) Store Display - WILDLY RARE original 12" X 12" double-sided in-store promotional display put out by Epic in 1988 with the album cover image on the reverse!!! I bought this some time in the early 2000s here in Chicago from a former Tower Records (R.I.P.) manager who was a big Sade fan and decided to rescue this one from the Tower wall for her own private collection (which was staggeringly impressive). She told me that 99% of these displays were either tossed after they were displayed or never displayed at all and then tossed. Tower staff saw them as disposable swag and clutter and as a result VERY few survived from the 1980s. Display has one center crease and a small staple hole in the corners. These are the kinds of rarities Sade fans are going to be fighting over fiercely in the very near future so don't sleep quiet storm collectors.
Buying every item in this collection individually would cost $30.00 in shipping ALONE so don't miss it.
I USE GOLDMINE GRADING~ MINT (SEALED) NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++: VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE VG+: AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG: STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR: FILLER COPY ONLY. LOTS OF SCRATCHES
