PLATTERS (LP) Remember When? 1959. Mercury SR 60087. Stereo. LP/VG

Description: This LP is by the Platters called Remember When? From 1959 on Mercury label SR 60087 and as High Fidelity Stereo. The cover has been shelved away in a heavy clear plastic cover which kept it in good shape! It has a slightly silky feel to it, but with some light ringwear fade marks on it. Back cover has a tiny little red stain on the bottom center area. Just a little wear to the corners, but lightly. Just comes with a plain beige inner sleeve. There are 2 photos of Side one scratches and 2 for Side 2. You hear the crackles throughout most songs due to the scratches. But if I put a 45rpm spindle tab (the full round one for a 45 rpm) on the top of my needle area, it adds a little weight to my needle and the crackles disappear by 75%! Interesting. Just a thought for you if you are looking for ways to lessen crackles. Here's a video of 90 seconds of Side 1 with all the crackles. (I didn't use the 45rpm spindle on this video.) I rate the cover sleeve as Excellent (EX) and the vinyl as just Very Good (VG) to Very Good Plus (VG+) because of the scratches which you do see under a bright lamp, but plays very well with light crackles. No skips or pops.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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!
