I hear you asking, what on earth is NUDE VINYL?!?!
I am sorting through a large amount of vinyl (finally after 100+ days of Covid-19 lockdown I can get access to them again!) and I have a number of interesting albums that some low life has taken the cover off and not returned it!
Nude means exactly this ...
Vinyl record, exactly as described below
New inner plastic liner sleeve
New outer white cardboard sleeve (completely unmarked)
New outer protective sleeve
I know the covers and the pictures on albums are what makes vinyl so much fun and interesting but it's also about the music ... this offering is just the music and no pretty/interesting pictures or information (other than that on the record label)
The Manhattan Transfer - Brasil
Atlantic Records
Cat# 81803-1
1987
Australian release
Generic plain white cover is in very good condition, clean, no writing - it is new.
New inner plastic liner sleeve
Vinyl media is in good condition, visually inspected under a bright white halogen light source and I can see just a couple of light marks or scratches on either side AND a very slight "warp" to the whole album, not terrible but noticeable in the right light. I then played the ENTIRE release, every track, and there are no issues with that warping, in fact the tonearm barely moves up/down. Also no significant issues with surface noise and just the very occasional low level click/pops. Nice play.
New outer protective plastic sleeve
