Description
Absolutely killer record. Classic psych rock ... it's an incredible record. AND it's the original red label -- which I never find. The albut is in pretty solid shape -- great playing copy.
NOTE: I accidentally cancelled this on auction! Bah! Now I'm mad at myself, so I'll just post it as Buy it Now. Sorry for the confusion all.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG (7.0 of 10) So the LP plays pretty decent. Sounds great with a really small bit of crackle here and there. Overall, it's just some light scuffing and that's it. No scratches or anything. Plays through, nothing is annoying, nothing ticks, and nothing is constant. It's decently solid, but I felt it warranted a VG based on visuals.
COVER: VG (7.0 of 10) Essentially the same shape as the LP. 2" split middle bottom seam, and aging. It has clear age, and some storage wear, but it still presents great, spine is good, and top seam is OK, but still holding together. OK package overall. *includes original inner, but it's split on a few sides. Will be in nice, new inner as well. _______ 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 Audio Technica 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
