Cupid & Psyche 85

LP (Item 554649) Warner, 1985 — Condition: Near Mint-
An 80s classic from Scritti Politti – a group who'd worked their way up from the postpunk underground to the top of the charts, yet still managed to keep some of their leftist politics intact! The album's filled with catchy little numbers, but they also belie a deeper sensibility that folks sometimes miss – a quality that really set the group apart from Wham, Spandau Ballet, and other chart contemporaries – even though there's no denying the popular appeal of the hook-heavy tunes! Plus, there's a strongly soulful vibe on many numbers – that crossover to an R&B audience that ABC also had – as you'll definitely hear on their hit cut "A Perfect Way", and other tracks that include "Lover To Fall", "Wood Beez", "Small Talk", "Word Girl", "Hypnotize", and "A Little Knowledge".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Near Mint - (minus)

  • Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
  • Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
  • One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
  • May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
  • May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
  • Possible minor surface noise when played.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
