Jerry Harrison

Jerry Harrison, an American musician and producer, was born on February 21, 1949, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. He gained prominence as a member of the influential band Talking Heads from 1971 to 1974 and later joined the renowned group The Modern Lovers, where he contributed on guitar and keyboards from 1976 until their disbandment in 1991. In addition to his work with these bands, Harrison released three solo albums between 1981 and 1990, two of which were issued under the name Jerry Harrison.

He owns a recording studio known as Sausalito Sound. After the breakup of The Modern Lovers, Harrison shifted his focus to music production, collaborating on several successful albums with artists such as Violent Femmes, Crash Test Dummies, and Live. In the early 2020s, he, along with Talking Heads touring member Adrian Belew, embarked on a live tribute tour celebrating the iconic 1980 album Remain In Light.

It is important to note that releases associated with Casual Gods and similar projects should be submitted under the Jerry Harrison PAN, as he has stated that he viewed these as a new band in their own right during that period.

SRO Records Record Grading Guide:

SEALED/Mint:

Vinyl: Assumed mint, unverified until opened.

Sleeve: Visible through shrink wrap, graded as above.

NM (Near Mint):

Vinyl: Nearly flawless, with possible minor scuffs or hairlines only visible under strong light.
Sleeve: Appears new, as if freshly printed.

 

EX (Excellent):

Vinyl: Bright, with minor surface wear and hairlines, not affecting play.

Sleeve: May have faint creases or abrasions, but artwork is clean.

 

VG+ (Very Good Plus):

Vinyl: Obvious wear, scuffs and hairlines, plays with some noise but no major sound issues.

Sleeve: Worn with creases, noticeable wear, acid deterioration, corner dings, chipping, and possible seam wear.

 
Here's the typical SRO Records line in the sand. Anything below VG+, unless it's rare, unusual or just awesome, we're NOT going to sell online, much less go through the hassle of an ultrasonic cleaning, we're going to put it in one of many $10 Record boxes that we sell at Record Conventions and events. Some will wind up in the $1 Box, just to get it back out into the world for someone to enjoy or make a planter out of.

 

VG (Very Good):

Vinyl: Dull appearance with many hairlines and scuffs, somehow plays with persistent noise but no skips. 

Sleeve: Worn with possible seam splits and moderate ring wear.

G+ (Good Plus):

Vinyl: Numerous marks and scratches, plays with significant noise but music usually overpowers flaws.

Sleeve: Rough appearance with possible seam splits and water damage.


G (Good):

Vinyl: Copious unforgettable marks, probably a skip or jump.

Sleeve: Heavy ring wear and damage, likely large seam splits or water damage.


F (Fair):

Vinyl: It's round with nearly infinite damage, skipper gonna skip

Sleeve: It's basically what's left of the sleeve for the album

This only includes shipping to the International hub here in the United States.
