ATTENTION!  I AM A RECORD COLLECTOR AND JAZZ ENTHUSIAST, NOT A HIGH VOLUME DEALER.   I TAKE PRIDE IN MY RECORDS, AND TREAT THEM WELL.  PLEASE BID WITH CONFIDENCE.  NOTE**MY TURNTABLE IS A MARANTZ 6100 (MID 1970'S) WITH A SHURE N91ED STYLUS.  OTHER SUPER HIGH END "AUDIOPHILE" EQUIPMENT MAY PRODUCE DIFFERENT RESULTS IN PLAY GRADING.  PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN PLACING YOUR BIDS.

ALL RECORDS ARE VINTAGE USA PRESSINGS UNLESS NOTED.  I DO NOT HAVE TIME TO PLAY GRADE ALL LPS, BUT WILL NOTE WHEN AN LP HAS BEEN PLAY GRADED.  SEE MY GRADING SCALE BELOW FOR MORE DETAIL.  I OFFER MONEY BACK + ORIGINAL SHIPPING COST (NOT RETURN SHIPPING)  ON ANY RECORD RATED VG OR BETTER WITHIN 14 DAYS IF NOT COMPLETELY SATISFIED. RECORDS LISTED AS VG- (MINUS) OR BELOW ARE SOLD AS-IS. KEEP IN MIND THAT THESE RECORDS OFTEN PLAY MUCH BETTER THAN THE VISUAL GRADE ASSIGNED DUE TO THE QUALITY OF THE EARLIER PRESSINGS.   I ALWAYS COMBINE SHIPPING TO SAVE $$$$.  CHECK MY OTHER ITEMS FOR MORE GREAT JAZZ.

JUTTA HIPP hickory house vol.2 BLUE NOTE

LEXINGTON FLAT  EDGE

BLUE NOTE BLP 1516

COVER:              VG/VG+

VINYL:                NEAR MINT- 

PLAY GRADE:   PLAYS GREAT WITH LITTLE TO NO NOTICEABLE SURFACE NOISE.

NOTES:     AMAZINGLY CLEAN FIRST PRESSING OF THIS TRULY RARE RECORD.  LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN PLAYED ONLY A HANDFUL OF TIMES, AND CERTAINLY ONLY ONCE BY ME TO GRADE IT.  SOUNDED FANTASTIC.  THE VINYL HAS ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHINE AND NO MARKS THAT I CAN SEE.  THERE IS A VERY LIGHT KIND OF RANDOM SPOTTY FILM ON THE VINYL DUE TO BEING STORED FOR 50+ YEARS, BUT NO MARKS OF ANY KIND.  THIS FILM HAS ABSOLUTELY NO AFFECT ON THE PLAYING OF THE RECORD AND COULD MOST LIKELY BE REMOVED WITH A PROFESSIONAL CLEANING.  THE COVER HAS A PARTIAL SEEM SPLIT ON TOP AND BOTTOM, AND THE SPINE HAS SOME WEAR, BUT IS INTACT.  I AM SELLING THIS RECORD TO HELP PAY FOR MY RECENT PURCHASE OF A BRAUN AUDIO 2 RECORD PLAYER/RADIO, SO I HAVE SET WHAT I THINK IS A MODEST RESERVE FOR THIS RECORD.  PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING.  I REALLY HATE TO SEE THIS ONE GO, BUT THAT RECORD PLAYER WAS JUST TOO COOL TO PASS UP. 

GENERAL GRADING GUIDLINES

ANY RECORD LISTENED TO WILL HAVE A SELF EXPLANITORY

GRADE ASSIGNED TO IT.  IF A RECORD HAS NOT BEEN PLAY

GRADED, IT WILL HAVE THE LETTERS N/A ASSIGNED TO IT.

  VISUAL GRADING

                           NEAR MINT:                         

A RECORD HAS TO BE PRETTY MUCH FREE OF ANY VISUAL FLAWS

WITH AN IMMACULATE COVER TO GET THIS GRADE.

NEAR MINT- (MINUS):

A VERY CLEAN RECORD WITH MAYBE A FEW SUPERFICIAL SLEEVE

MARKS THAT DO NOT AFFECT PLAY.  COVER WILL HAVE TIGHT SEAMS

AND LITTLE TO NO VISIBLE WEAR.

VG++ (VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS):

A NOTCH ABOVE VG+.  PRETTY CLEAN LP WITH SOME SUPERFICIAL

 MARKS THAT SHOULD NOT AFFECT PLAY.  COVERS WILL BE CLEAN

 WITH ONLY MINOR AGE WEAR.

VG+ (VERY GOOD PLUS):

A NICE LP WITH SOME SUPERFICIAL MARKS AND MAYBE A FEW

 HAIRLINES.  IF ANY AFFECT TO PLAY, ONLY AT LOW VOLUME

 PASSAGES.  COVERS HAVE CLEAN GRAPHICS, BUT MAY HAVE MINOR

 SEAM DAMAGE.

VG (VERY GOOD):

STILL A NICE RECORD.  LP MAY HAVE SOME HAIRLINE MARKS AS WELL

 AS SKUFFING.  SOME GROOVEWEAR MAY BE EVIDENT.  RECORD MAY

 PLAY WITH SOME OCCASIONAL BACKGROUND CRACKLE, BUT WILL

 HAVE NO STICKS, OR SKIPS.  COVERS MAY HAVE MINOR SEAM

 SPLITTING, SMALL WRITING, ETC.

VG-(VERY GOOD MINUS):

A RECORD THAT HAS BEEN PLAYED A LOT.  PROBABLY MORE THAN A

 FEW SKUFFS AND SCRATCHES.  MAY PLAY WITH CONSISTANT

 BACKROUND NOISE, OR THE OCCAISIONAL HARD POP.  MAY OR MAY

 NOT HAVE SKIP OR STICK.  COVERS WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT SEAM

 DAMAGE, TAPE, WRITING, STICKERS, OR ANY COMBINATION OF THE

 ABOVE.  THE ONLY TIME THIS GRADE IS USED IS IF THE ITEM IS EXTRA

 RARE OR COLLECTIBLE.

GOOD:

I LIKE TO CALL THESE RECORDS BEAT!  THE VINYL MAY LOOK LIKE SOMEONE ATTACKED IT WITH STEEL WOOL AND A SWITCH BLADE.  RECORD MOST LIKELY SOUNDS LIKE FRYING BACON WITH SOME MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND.  COVERS WILL BE COMPLETELY SPLIT, HAVE BAD TAPE, WRITING, AND OVERALL BE A BLIGHT ON SOCIETY.  THE ONLY TIME I WILL LIST A RECORD AS “GOOD” IS IF I AM THINKING OF THROWING IT AWAY OR IT IS REDICULOUSLY RARE.
