This AdLib listing is very interesting. We now have the unique opportunity to buy a trashed record that may play even worse than it looks, a the decent price of 1000$, from a very reputable seller with 92 % positive. Its a wonderful world…

HA! Yeah, I saw the McLean listing and had to pinch myself-makes you wonder what a “poor” cover looks like,huh? And you can have it NOW for only 1,ooo big ones. He’s all heart! Seriously,though-ck the feedback which is revealing to say the least. “Just say no!”,indeed.

thanks,that’s what I thought.
Indeed it’s the record in worst conditions I’ve ever seen.Don’t think it will find a lover.

I’ve counted 33 NM to decent AdLib copies on Popsike…

Agreed : this Mclean on AdLib was obviously pressed in far more than 100 copies !!

THERE IS A RISK THAT RECORD CAN PLAY WORSE THAN IT LOOKS., he says. Normaly that would be nice of a seller to say, but here you are sure it is true.

I have one . VG-, almost unplayable. I bought it for 13 dollars at a car boot-sale.

I’m curious ’bout the 100 pressed.
I would like to know how many of us got one,at least in a decent shape.
I’m the first.

That’s not half as shameful as the seller’s grading, which appears to be, shall we say, “liberal”. There was a comment elsewhere on the site here the other day about the cojones it takes to describe an item one way and then show a picture that’s so contradictory. This here Jackie is a textbook case of ‘buyer beware’!

This one would make even Jackie roll over in his grave… (May he rest in peace) How could someone sell a copy of The New Tradition like this… Beware, it’s not for the faint of heart !
