Description
I mean ... Come on! These Sabbath Vertigo imports are so friggin rad ... not a perfect copy ... but not bad by any means.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG (6.7 of 10) Original German Vertigo, large swirl label. It's in pretty solid shape -- I think I'm being really fair here. There are a few light whisps, and some light chatter. A light crackle every now and then, and some chatter in between songs. But nothing consistent, nothing annoying ever. Really it's just a small amount of super light chatter. It's a pretty solid play, for sure.
COVER: VG- (5.5 of 10) So it's bad, but also not that bad. 3" split, middle spine. A cut on back, and clear aging. But the art is solid, gloss seems in tact for the most part, and you can read everything fine. Not the best, but not the worst for sure. _______ 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 AT MM cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 17 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: Free 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.
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
