TANGERINE DREAM (LP) Force Majeure. Reissue. 1981. Virgin VI 2111. EX

Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Here is Tangerine Dream with their reissue of their 1979 record called Force Majeure as of 1981. The label says Virgin 1978 Virgin Records, but because the label number is VI 2111, it is a reissue, otherwise if originally 1979, it would have the label number as V 2111. Marketed by JEM Records in NJ and in California. The LP cover still has shrinkwrap on it, but open at the right seam. There is a little bit of aging at the right seam, too, meaning the white coloring at the seam is just getting a little bit darker. There is a die-cut at the upper left corner seam. The back side shrinkwrap is still on, too. Just a little section is torn out at the upper right corner. Comes in a plain white inner sleeve. The vinyl is in almost near mint condition until you look under a super bright lamp. Side 1 I saw 2 super light surface scratches. Side 2 has one surface scratch starting a little bit into the 2nd song and goes to the matrix. I took a photo of this as the last photo. You can see the surface scratch to the right of the 2 lamp lights. It looks scary, but it played perfectly through that song. You can't feel it and when it played through, it sounded as if it was new. No skips, pops, or crackles/tics. And here is a 90-second audio/video recording of Side 1 sections so you can hear the sound quality. (Recorded in higher treble on purpose so you can pick up any tics or crackles.) I rate the album cover as Very Good Plus (VG+). The vinyl gets a Near Mint (NM) grading, but because of the couple of scratches, I have to give it at least an Excellent (EX)! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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!
