SHAMROCK REBELS (The)(LP) Irish Rebel Songs. 1973. Request Records SRLP 8149. EX

Description: Here is the Irish band The Shamrock Rebels with their LP called Irish Rebel Songs on Request Records SRLP 8149 label. I think this came out in 1973. The songs are all about drinking, dancing, and the Rebellion of 1798 is remembered and songs from 1916 to 1922 struggle are featured. Information of the band is mentioned on the back cover underneath the song title area. They have toured all over Ireland and Irish centers in Britain. This would be a nice LP to play during St. Patrick's Day! The cover looks pretty good except for the front cover has a bend torn corner side seam at the bottom right. There is shrinkwrap on it, but the front has the shrinkwrap almost halfway torn off, but some is still on in the torn area at the bottom. Back cover has the shrinkwrap torn on the top and bottom seams on the left side area, but it's just wrinkled. The record comes in a plain white inner sleeve, but also has a paper included that have all the lyrics on both sides of it. Side 1 has only like 2 scuffs on it and I got 2 photos of that here. Side 2 only has a small section of light surface scratches in one area and a photo of that is here, too. I played it on my Technics turntable and all sounded very good. No skips or pops or crackles. Here is a minute and 50-second audio/video of Side 1 sections so you can hear the good quality. I rate the cover as Very Good Plus (VG+) but due to the crinkled torn corner seam, I'll give it a Very Good (VG) only. And the sound quality is an Excellent (EX), but physical look maybe I give just a Very Good Plus (VG+) due to some scuffs and small surface scratches that caused no sound problems. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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!
