Description
Ya ... this is a rare record. It's really, really good. And here's an OG mono copy. For sure not perfect, but it's a decent VG playing record.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: Visual VG- (6.5 of 10) OG Mono copy; Ear, DG, 63rd address. Visually, it's clearly a VG-, so don't expect it to look perfect. Quite a bit of light scuffing, and one rub mark. ... but I'm pretty much guaranteeing decentish VG play on this one, wholeheartedly, hence the higher number score than usual. Plays with light chatter in the background, a a little popping (very light pops) ... but it plays really well. No skips whatsoever. A very enjoyable record. It's not a chore to listen to at all ... face it: Blue Note mono just sings. Evaluate photographs closely, I tried to capture the condition.
COVER: VG+ (7.5 of 10) Overall it's solid. Only real issue is someone put scotch tape on middle of spine, 2" ... rest of the seams and spine are all solid (with a little wear). No writing, tearing, etc. Beautiful gloss, and back is pretty clean too.
_______ 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.
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
