HUMBLE PIE (LP) The Best. 1982. A&M SP-3208. Stereo. EX

Description: Humble Pie with their 1982 record called The Best. On A&M SP-3208 label. These songs have Steve Marriott, Peter Frampton, Jerry Shirley, Greg Ridley, and Dave "Clem" Clempson on various songs. This is mentioned on the back cover near the bottom right side. One of the best singers of that time was Steve Marriott. But Peter Frampton sings on some of these songs, too. One of my top 3 singers and glad I had the chance to meet him backstage in Cleveland in the '80s. Front cover has the shrinkwrap still on but opened at the right side to let the record out. In the middle of this front cover is a name (Mari) written on the whipped cream with an arrow pointing to the lady's face. And the shrinkwrap is actually open there in a small circle format so that the name was on the actual cover, not the shrinkwrap. Back cover looks good, but also has the name Mari written underneath the shrinkwrap at the left side seam area. Other than that, no ringwear showing and no tears. I will include a white inner sleeve. Side One of the record looks great. In regular light it barely looks played, but under the 200 watt lamp I have, it does show me a couple of light surface scratches, like only 2. Side Two had a couple of little surface scratches and I got a photo of one. The other one was too light to photograph. None of this caused any sound problems. No skips, pops, or crackles and no tics. Here's a 90-second audio/video to hear the great sound quality and it sounds like this all the way through. Great condition! I rate the cover as Very Good Plus (VG+) due to the name in blue ink on it. If not there, it would be a Near Mint. The vinyl gets an Excellent (EX) for visual look (only 2-3 light surface scratches) and sound quality, if not Near Mint for sound quality. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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!
