Condition summary

Vinyl: VG — strong playback copy

Cleaned and fully play-tested. Playback was exceptionally rich, full, and clean overall.

One isolated patch of popping was heard during “Chemistry” on Side One. Side Two played perfectly. There were no skips, repeating grooves, locked grooves, or other playback interruptions.

The isolated popping keeps the conservative grade at VG rather than VG+, despite the otherwise excellent playback.

Jacket: Very little handling wear spine, back and cover in VG++ condition.

An original-era 1982 U.S. pressing of Rush’s Signals, manufactured by Hauppauge Record Manufacturing for Mercury Records.

This copy carries pressing-plant code 53, a no-barcode jacket, and MASTERDISK BK inscriptions in both runouts. The exact matrices are provided above so the buyer can clearly identify the pressing being offered.

The vinyl was cleaned and played completely before listing. Playback was exceptionally rich, full, and clean through most of the album. One isolated patch of popping was audible during “Chemistry” on Side One, while Side Two played perfectly. The record completed without skips, repeating grooves, or interruptions.

Because of the isolated popping, the vinyl is conservatively graded VG rather than VG+. It remains an especially strong and enjoyable playback copy.

Play-tested in full on a mechanically isolated Sony automatic turntable fitted with an Audio-Technica diamond stylus, through a Polk Audio MagniFi Max surround system with wireless subwoofer and rear speakers.

The exact record and jacket pictured are included. The vinyl will be placed in a protective inner sleeve and shipped outside the jacket to reduce the risk of seam splitting.
