The Impressions

Here is a copy of The Impressions for sale, in super shape overall.

The first picture shows how I got this in the collection I bought: it had a thick outer sleeve (plastic, likely 3 mil) and also had the original shrink still on the cover. Many of the records in this collection were like this, and they were stored in a careful place – great shape on them for a collection of this age. I kept a ton of them for myself, actually. 🙂

The wax has some scuffs from play for sure – I cleaned it in the Discwasher, but they were in there. They are not deep enough to cause any skips that I heard anywhere – it is more in the light surface noise that you’d expect from a record of this age – especially a soul one. Soul and Rockabilly records simply got played a ton, and usually show it – this one, does not show any bad damage, and the stuff that does show simply puts a little background warmth in it to me. It’s the mono record so it has a LOT of presence – and I liked it so much, it stayed on the turntable for a few successive spins. 

The cover is the real star here though – it is as nice a cover as you are gonna see, I think. There is no wear that shows (thank you for the sleeve, former owner!), no writing, saw cuts or other diminishing marks. I did not remove the original shrink at any point, but should you do that, you’d find a near perfect cover as the pictures here support. 

This is a real honey of a record – I would have kept this one too, but needed to sell some of the collection, and I kept “Keep on Pushing” by them from the same grab. As I stated on Discogs, if you PP me $100 flat for it, I will happily send it your way via MediaMail. If the wax didn’t have those hairlines on it, I would have this for a firm $150 at least…but happy to help you get a sweet one here!
