Description

NOTE: I am NOT currently shipping overseas. *But eBay's international shipping program is possible. I believe it's fairly expensive though.

Pretty solid vinyl. Has a few issues detailed below, but it's a pretty solid copy regardless. Sleeve gets VG- for a split, but it OK condition.

See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (7.3 of 10) True OG copy -- Deep Groove, RVG hand etch, 50th address, fireworks mono copy. Condition wise, there's a little scuffing, and a few whisp marks. There's also what looks like remnant imprints from the original wax inner this came in (likely storage wear), but it doesn't seem to affect play at all. It's more of an aesthetic concern. In general, there's a little tick from time to time (from a little scuffage), but it's really light, and this copy is still a very enjoyable play. Not perfect, but it's pretty solid nonetheless. 
COVER: VG- (5.5 of 10) It's OK, but has a 6" split on bottom seam. Otherwise it's holding together fine. Clearly there's heavier aging. It does present well, and you can read all liner notes fine. It's an OK cover with heavier age and a split that presents decent -- pretty clear, right? _______ Now the standard messages:

GRADING: Yes I use standard grading. HOWEVER, I will NEVER use the word "mint" or "near mint" to describe a used LP ... sorry, won't do it. The highest I go is VG+. I use a number after to more represent a combination of how the vinyl looks and how it sounds. 10 is the best. I'll describe what I see in addition. I've found the combination of these two can minimize expectation gaps. But ask questions when in doubt.

CLEANING: Yes. All vinyl is cleaned ... on my own machine I made. Vacuum machine. I wash and rinse with my own formula cleaners -- once with my enzyme cleaner, and rinsed with my own distilled water/alcohol formula. ... this process has worked for me for years.

TESTING: Yes. I've listened to the records I sell. I play on a Lenco L70, via Denon 103 MC cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 17 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: $4.99 for anywhere Media Mail, domestic. Overseas is BY WEIGHT, so check that weight before bidding, you overseas-ers! LPs shipped in a proper box with plastic sleeve, and yes, vinyl shipped outside the sleeve. 
NOTE: Due to the pandemic, I am temporarily suspending international shippments. Once international Post catches up, I begin again.
RETURNS: Generally a no go, unless you have a compelling reason. But if there's a serious problem, I'm sure we can figure it out with a return. I mean, I am an adult ... allegedly. But I do try to describe accurately, offer time for questions, and I deal in used records, not new stuff ... yes, it's always kind of a gamble buying via eBay, which is why I try to do my best to make an objective attempt to describe the LP in question. ASK QUESTIONS WHEN IN DOUBT. I promise, we can make this an easy transaction
