Foreigner: Head Games / Do What You Like 1979 Atlantic 3633 Sterling Pressing VG

Description: For sale is a 45 RPM vinyl single from Foreigner titled "Head Games b/w Do What You Like", originally released in 1979 by Atlantic Records. I bought this record used, professionally cleaned it on my VPI HW-17 machine and immediately put it into an archival inner sleeve, then into a storage box for seven inch 45 RPM vinyl records, that was kept under optimum conditions for both temperature and humidity until today. The archival inner sleeve is Near Mint. In the dead wax between the labels and the last tracks is etched "SP", followed by "Sterling", indicating that this record was mastered at Sterling Sound of New York City before it was made at Specialty Records Company's pressing plant, located in Olyphant, Pennsylvania. These are hallmarks of state-of-the-art engineering, sought after by collectors and music lovers for their superior sound qualities. The vinyl is visually graded as Very Good because of superficial sleeve marks and hairlines, none of which can be felt with a fingertip, but still without any scuffs or scrapes. I'm play grading it as Very Good because of low levels of surface noise, more evident during the quiet sections of playback, but never over-powering the vocals or the music. You would be hard pressed to find a copy of this record in this condition, especially a Specialty pressing. This would be a welcome addition to anyone's collection. Please read all descriptions and look at all pictures, as this is a final sale and I do not accept returns. Thank you for viewing my listing. I've been collecting records for more that 50 years and always clean them before and after playback to keep them in a pristine condition. I try to describe them to the best of my ability and use record grading guidelines like the Goldmine rating system as reference. Since retiring, I've begun to sell my very esoteric collection via my Ebay store (bobsanalogemporium) and will offer discounts for multiple sales. I always pack the items for sale in an archival inner sleeve, then put them in either a Kraft paper bubble mailer with sturdy cardboards or cardboard record mailers, always with the records separate from the jackets or its original picture sleeve, then sandwiched between sturdy cardboards before shipping. Please read all descriptions carefully and note all pictures before-hand, as I do not accept returns. Please visit my Ebay store for records, 45's, cassette tapes and comics of all different genres. They're predominately Near Mint. Thank you viewing my listing.
