THE REDS – THE REDS

Original 1979 U.S. A&M SP-4772 translucent green-vinyl pressing. This particular copy carries promotional identification/marking; the linked pressing itself is the translucent-green stock issue rather than a separate promo pressing.

The Philadelphia band’s first LP was produced by David Kershenbaum, known for his work with artists including Joe Jackson. Contemporary trade coverage described the album as a high-energy new wave/AOR release, and the U.S. pressing was issued on distinctive translucent green vinyl.

The lineup includes Rick Shaffer on guitar and vocals, Bruce Cohen on keyboards, Jim Peters on bass, and Tommy Geddes on drums.

CONDITION

VINYL: STRONG VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)

The translucent green record is very clean with strong original gloss.

There are only light signs of previous handling/play, with no significant scratches or heavy marks.

This is a strong VG+ copy and visually sits toward the upper end of the grade.

COVER: VERY GOOD (VG)

The original jacket remains structurally sound and presentable.

There is moderate age-related wear, including:

edge and corner wear
light-to-moderate surface rubbing
general shelf and handling wear
age-related wear consistent with the VG grade

Please examine all photographs carefully. They show the actual record and cover being sold.

Realistic Sale Range: $14–$18

Suggested Auto-Decline: Below $11.99

I’d accept $18–$20, consider $15–$17 a good sale, and counter $12–$14 around $16–$17.

The strongest useful current comp is the NM- green-vinyl copy at $25. Your strong VG+ vinyl keeps it relatively close to that, while the VG jacket pulls the value down a bit.

Forgot to mention the The Reds is also a promo

Then I’d revise the listing to make PROMO prominent in both the title and description. Assuming this is a true promotional copy of the same 1979 A&M SP-4772 translucent green vinyl pressing, I’d also bump the asking price slightly.
