VARIOUS ARTISTS (LP/20 Hits) "FAR OUT" Ronco Presents. 1975. VG

Description: Here is the RONCO RECORDS R1975-915 album called FAR OUT that has 20 original hits and 20 original artists on it. You can see all the artists at the front cover on the left side or the back cover. Manufactured for Ronco Teleproducts, Inc. by RCA Custom Records. Barry Manilow, Franki Valli, Isaac Hayes, Neil Sedaka, Ace, Gloria Gaynor, Hot Chocolate, Styz, Tony Orlando/Dawn, and more. Cover is in okay condition. There is ringwear around the front cover along with a round hole at the upper top right corner. Some light wear at the corners of the seams. Back cover has some dark marks around it like ringwear. No inner sleeve, but I will include a new white inner sleeve with it. The orange record label photos here are actually a little darker than in the photographs. More like the label showing in the audio/video here. Side 1 looks good until you put the record under a bright light. There are a couple of long surface scratches, but light. I have photos of the surface scratches for both sides here. Here is a minute and 40-second audio/video of Side 1 sections so you can hear the sound quality. There are some crackles you may hear in a lot of areas, but not too bad. Maybe you have a way to clean up some of those crackles. Side 2 has some crackles throughout also. But it's not so bad when the sound is louder, less treble, and you are away from the speakers a bit. I rate the cover sleeve as Very Good (due to ringwear). The vinyl gets a Very Good (VG) to Very Good Plus (VG+) for sound quality since there are some crackles here and there on both sides. No skips or pops. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ If buying 2 or more records, don't pay yet.

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.
