HEADPINS (LP) Line of Fire. 1983. (Canada imp) SGR-1017. VG+/EX

Description: Here is the Headpins LP called Line of Fire. From 1983. Recording/made in Canada. On Solid Gold Records SGR-1017 label. Some started out with Chilliwack, but then some of the band members started this band and took in female singer Darby Mills. They started out in the Vancouver area. Years later, more changes were made. This LP is a hard rock one! The record cover does have a circle die-cut in the upper left corner. Barely any ringwear showing. Back cover looks pretty good, too. The top, bottom, and side seam have some white wear marks on them. Record came in a clear plastic inner sleeve. Side 1 does have a couple surface scratches. The only sound problem was that when I was playing the first song, the beginning 20 seconds you can hear light crackling in the background. No skips or pops, but only crackles. Then later on it kind of disappears and just gets a little bit lighter. You can hear it on the 1 minute 39-second audio/video that is here. But the rest of the songs do not have that obvious crackling. Here and there a tiny bit, but not that noticeable. Afterall, it is hard rock so it gets hidden a bit! Side 2 has some light crackles during the first song, too, but then disappears after a minute. I took some pics of the surface scratches on both sides. I rate the cover as just Very Good Plus (VG+). The record gets a Very Good Plus (VG+) only for visual look due to some surface scratches that caused some crackle noises. But after those 2 first songs on both sides, the rest of the songs were without any of those big crackles and sounded great. So I probably woud give the record closer to Excellent (EX) for sound quality. You decide after hearing the video. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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!
