John Coltrane - Soultrane  Prestige 7142 Deep Groove, yellow fireworks label, RVG stamp in runoff, Bergenfield address (this was the first Prestige release to use the Bergenfield address in the 1st pressing)
Record Condition: G+/VG-, this record looks G+ all day and all night, with a ton of hairlines and scuffs - some that are feelable. However, somehow it plays between VG and VG- on both sides. Despite how it looks, this is still an enjoyable record and the music shines past the imperfections.
Cover Condition: G+, the top seam is completely split, the spine has no splits but has flaking all across it that obscures the text, the bottom seam is almost completely split. There is a "21" written in pen in the upper right corner of the cover, and there are several signatures on the back in pen.
About Me: I'm a vinyl collector focusing exclusively on jazz records. I don't sell a lot, but when I do it is from my personal collection. You'll note that nearly all of my feedback ratings are either as a buyer or seller of records and have extensive experience with grading and evaluating them.
My Grading System: My grading doesn't differ from the majority of eBay sellers.  Near Mint is reserved for virtually unplayed records and covers without any splits or material flaws. VG++ is a rating reserved for records or covers that are clearly better than VG+ but have one or two cosmetic issues that don't affect play but prevent it from being near mint. VG+ records and covers are clearly used but very enjoyable. There may be very light hairline scratches that are not feelable, paper scuffs, flaking seams or perhaps minor seam splitting.  VG records are usually heavily played or may have a needle-drop scratch, both of which will add some background noise in the audio. There may be heavier seam splitting or other cosmetic flaws. VG- records have even more background noise, likely many hairline scratches with pops, but it will still play through without skipping. Covers likely have more extensive ringwear and seam splits.  G is a rating I rarely use, except when selling rare records.
Combining Shipping for multiple orders: I will combine shipping if you win multiple auctions, and charge just $1 for each additional record. (So two records would be $3.50 + $1.00 for shipping)
International shipping offered, but I participate in eBay Global Shipping program for all international buyers.  I apologize if this is an inconvenience.
