Description: Here is the 1979 reissue on Epic PE 33849 of Jeff Beck "WIRED" LP. It has the swirl color across WIRED on front cover and his image has the swirl on it, too. This is a repress of the original LP that came out in 1976, I think. It's on the navy blue Epic label. Earlier first pressing was on the orange Epic label (which I will have on here to sell shortly.) The cover does have the shrinkwrap on it but opened at the right seam, along with the top and bottom seam to let the record out. So it is not stuck on the cover. But it just happened to still stay on. 2nd photo shows it with the shrinkwrap over it. No ringwear! The back side does have a name (Mari) written in ink at the bottom left side. No tears on the corners. Comes with a beige inner sleeve. Looking at the vinyl under a bright lamp, Side 1, I only see a little surface scratch at the beginning of the groove (photo here) and 2 really light surface scratches. Side 2 I do see one light surface scratch and a little scuffing-barely. Still shiny. I played it on my Technics system and sound was excellent! It was like new! No skips, pops, or crackles anywhere! Here's a video of the first side (90 seconds) so you can hear the great sound quality on this reissue. I rate the cover as Near Mint (NM) if you take the shrinkwrap off. Less the handwritten name on back. But the vinyl also gets a Near Mint for sound quality! Only a couple light surface scratches. No sound defects! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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!
