NOTE: OK, I'm starting to ship internationally as I used to, but BE AWARE SHIPPING TIMES OVERSEAS ARE ERRATIC. Be aware that I cannot change the speed of shipping. And I've had some records take 3 MONTHS ... BE AWARE.

Holy shit this thing is amazing. I love everything about it. I've never seen a Lexington press look this good. ... it's a killer, KILLER album. So the price on here is non-negotiable ... I'll keep it until someone else takes the plunge.

See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (9.0 of 10) RVG hand etchings, Lexington labels, flat edge press, Ear marks, and a true, first, OG MONO copy. It's so beautiful. I love it ... there's a little super light scuffing and super light dull mark or two ... but holy cannoli does it sound great. .... best Lexington copy I've had. For sure.
COVER: VG+ (8.0 of 10) OK, I might get flack for this because there IS some splitting. ... but come on. Look at it! It's in stellar shape, but the bottom seam does have about 5" split. Otherwise it looks so killer though! ... dull gloss, beautiful art, still-crisp back ... it's fantastic ... I stand behind a VG+ even with a split. _______ 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 6 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: Free 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
