Description
Let me preface this: This album is phenomenal. If you love classic bob, '50s-style, you actually have to love this album. It's a scientific fact.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: Lower VG+/Strong VG (7.0 of 10) Originally put out in '59 under New Jazz label, this is a mid-60s reissue. Early press. Heavy press, RVG stamp in runout. The vinyl isn't as good as New Jazz, because the Status records were a budget label made with recycled vinyl. As such, the vinyl looks a little hazy, and there is a low hiss on it, which is expected from Status. There are probably 3 long, dull, light lines on each side. The album plays very loud. I'd say there's nothing annoying like ticking or anything, but you'll hear some pops and hiss (likely due to the vinyl pressed with) between tracks, and in really quiet passages, but generally speaking it's a great listening experience.
COVER: VG+ (8.5 of 10) Cover is great. No splits! Seams and spine are all strong. Great gloss. Back has a little wear and writing, but overall it's very solid. Overall it's a solid example -- top 20-30% of copies left for sure.
_________________________________________________________________ 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 damn 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 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
