Description
Well after many years doing auctions on eBay, I think I'm going to start listing inventory here, without an auction. Priorly, I've always started all auctions at $4.99, but right now I have a lot of records sitting around to comb through, so I think I'll just list a handful every weekend when I can.
A solid classic! For some reason, this album doesn't get the love it should. It's a followup to Giant Steps, and actually pretty monumental. A value proposition for owning original Coltrane for sure, in my opinion. The market just doesn't appreciate this album for some reason. But this example is a pretty solid example.
More below:
____________________________________________________________________
Vinyl: (VG+ (7.7 of 10): Very well preserved. High gloss, and only a very small handful of any imperfections. Perhaps 4 very small surface scraps per side. Plays very well. There is a deep groove on one side, and the colors of the label create the impression it was pressed between '62-'64. Not a perfect demo copy, but overall a very pleasant example -- likely in the top 20% of examples out there.
Cover: VG+ (7.5 of 10): The cover is great quality. The only imperfections are dings on the corners -- otherwise a solid VG+ all around. High gloss and strong seams (outside the two corner chips. Very slight curvature to the cover, but the art is top notch and wear is quite low.
VINYL WEIGHT: 148g-150g
Additional Notes: Great example for the collector and listener alike. _____________________________________________________________________
Regarding Grading: I always use the standard G-VG+ scale. I, however, absolutely never use the word "mint" because I don't believe I've ever found a mint record -- even sealed ones. The highest I go is VG+. I use a number system to get a bit more specific.
The number: my number system gets a bit more granular. For the record, it's meant to reflect more the audio quality and overall aesthetic. For the cover, it reflects overall preservation, gloss, and damage, if there is any.
A few notes about quality, purchasing, and shipping:
* I always vacuum clean my records. They've all gone through a three step solution process with a vacuum cleaning machine I built.
** All records are shipped in record boxes.
*** All records are shipped with a plastic sleeve, and the records will be shipped OUTSIDE the cover.
Shipping is a standard $4 domestic, and by weight international ... so CHECK YOU INTERNATIONAL PEOPLE. Shipping is expensive these days -- don't shoot the messenger.
