TARNEY/SPENCER BAND (LP) Three's A Crowd. 1978. A&M SP 4692. Round edges. VG+/EX

Description: Here is the 1978 album by Tarney/Spencer Band called Three's A Crowd. On A&M label SP-4692. In the matrix runout there is a 1S, which means it was a Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Santa Maria. The drummer and lead guitarist started out in Australia, but went to the UK in 1969 and continued on and started the Tarney/Spencer band in 1975. Alan Tarney went back to Australia in the mid-80s and became a producer. Worked with aha band and also Cliff Richard stuff. Cover looks pretty good and has the 4 edges rounded. There is a die-cut at the upper left corner in front. No ringwear on either the back or front. The inner sleeve is a plain white one. Vinyl Side 1 has just a few light surface scratches which you can see in 2 of the Side 1 photos. No sound problems. But Side 2 you can see it has 7 scuff-type marks in the middle of the side. But it didn't affect the sound. The scuffs are mainly in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th song. And here is an audio/video of the sound in the those areas of the songs so you know it wasn't as scary as it looked. There were no skips or pops, just a light quick tic or two, if you can even hear that! I rate the cover at Very Good Plus (VG+) to Excellent. The vinyl gets a Very Good Plus to Excellent as the light couple of tics were in the scuffed area of Side 2 and wasn't much of sound problem as the audio/video plays. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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!
