✈
❔
One of the first full-on concept albums from Dennis DeYoung and Styx – a set that uses the metaphor of an aging theater to tell the tale of a changing world in the 20th Century! Titles include "The Best Of Times", "Lonely People", "Nothing Ever Goes As Planned", "Snowblind", "Too Much Time On My Hands", "Rockin The Paradise", "She Cares", and "State Street Sadie".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Original laser-etched vinyl pressing with EDP/Sterling stamps. Cover has a factory sticker at the spine.)

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.

A&M, 1975. Near Mint-
Think what you want about Captain & Tennille – the set's a monumental bit of 70s pop, and one that found a way to push the 60s hipness of A&M Records to the next level! The set's got a mainstream polish, but it's the summation of all sorts of cool elements that had been bubbling ... LP, Vinyl record album
