What you're looking at: A very solid performing Horace Silver. Fantastic copy; original 63rd label, deep groove, RVG stamp, and a heavy gram weight. The cover looks remarkably well, but the corner looks like it was bumped. Other than that, VG+ copy for sure. Looks like it was in someone's library at one time.

How it stacks up:

RECORD: VG++ (8.5 of 10) High shine, heavy gloss; some wear from age, but not scratches. Plays great.

SLEEVE: VG+ (8.5 of 10) Looks great except the one corner pictured. No splits.

MY GRADING SCALE (I.E. NOT ANYBODY ELSE’S):

OK, my goal is to be as specific as I can without being ridiculously wordy. I give one of these (from worst to best): G, G+, VG-, VG, VG+, VG++. That is it. No more letters, thus VG++ is a very good record. NM does NOT exist in my scale.

AFTER THE GENERAL GRADING SCALE, I have a second number in parenthesis, which is meant to be more specific. I find that a number is more specific than a general sector of opinion, thus the number will be between 1 and 10. This is meant to give you a more-specific idea of what you are getting into audio quality wise, the former is more for visual.

That being said, I play with a customized Thorens TD 165 (YEAH BOY!!) through Polk Speakers and a Pioneer receiver.

RETURNS: Generally returns are a no go, unless you have a compelling reason; also, I will give a TWO week grace period for exchanges (that means the buyer pays shipping back to me if they want a return). I give plenty of chances to see what you’re buying (audio clips, emails, two part grading system and a full policy description) and, as I see it, the buyer has as much responsibility as the seller to a) know what they are buying and b) have the decency to ask prior to purchase.

COMBINED SHIPPING: I charge a flat rate of $4 for one record, which covers postage, plastic sleeves, replacement inserts, shipping boxes, etc … After that, if you purchase more, it is $1 extra for each record domestically.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I now will ship overseas of whatever the quote is. so CHECK THE QUOTE BEFORE BIDDING!!

I really hope this answers all questions and concerns; however, if it doesn’t, EMAIL ME. Other than that, bid happily.
