  If the record is indeed sealed, it could have been sealed at any time, when new or after use.

  Uk, French, and German LP's were always sold open and never sealed.

  I have the original UK press on Island ILPS 9272.

  Which did you get?

  • Yes, it is UK, and looks like it was sealed after the fact - Hugh Jass 11:12:14 08/06/05 (1)

    It looks really clean, but there are some light marks at the spindle hole,so new it is not. Pink rimmed Island 1974.

      Yep. That's the original press I have as well.

      It really pisses me off that there are sellers out there that use that ever-powerful word "sealed" to describe European albums, knowing full well that this does not mean new and unused.

      I worked for the major importer in the US, JEM Records/Passport Records when I was in my teens and records even got picked and played in the front offices, prior ro shipping to stores!

      I worked there for a year and then for 2 summers when I was in college. I amassed a nice collection of UK and German pressings at employee pricing ;-)

  You were outbid for the Sparks' album 10x, finally got a sealed import on the 11th try, consider it a good week all-in-all, and it's not even that good?

  Or, were you referring to the sealed Charley Rich as not being that good?

  I'm hoping my acute bout of confusion is just a brainfart.

  • Well, I had a good week, what's so hard to understand?. . . - Hugh Jass 11:05:15 08/06/05 (2)

    I posted yesterday about my best jazz score at the Salvation Army in 20 years (sorry you missed it).

    My point; "I have been outbid for this record about 10 times, and it's not even that good", was concerning the Sparks LP itself. It is one of those records that for some reason many people are really interested in, even though IMO, I don't think it is that good a record.

    Now of course I wanted it too, and MY REASON is because about 20 years ago my friend's band used to cover "This Town . . ." and I wanted to listen to the original on vinyl. So is that less fart-like for you, or do you want a scratch n' sniff photo.

      I actually didn't miss reading your jazz score post, but that was yesterday, and I failed to ascribe it to you while reading this one this morning. Your explanation, plus a second cup of coffee, helped to ameliorate MY confusion. I certainly never intended for you to attribute the fartiness to your own post.

      But, now that I think about it, there are literally hundreds of thousands of records in which I have virtually no interest, and I have yet to bid once on even one of them. Your post, however, has opened up new worlds of wonder for me. Now, instead of just coveting all the ones I do want, I now have to contend for all those that mean next-to-nothing to me. I can just see it now: Debbie Boones, Herb Alperts, Tammy Fayes... How much is that Paul Sandberg "My Hiding Place" goin' for? Oh, this could get ugly!

      ARGH! This hobby is gonna put me in serious debt! Thanks a lot. &%^)

        Better start hoarding them.

    It must be country and western or something.

      You are welcome to this LP if you want it. I am not sure why you replied in such a manner. Was it my joke about the 47k phono stage post the other day?

          Hey Henry,

          I don't do that kind of stuff. I've never listened to Charlie Rich. It's still sealed. Please believe me. :)

          Best regards,
