Description
The legendary mix. Sleeve is bad; LP actually plays pretty decent -- has a little bruising. See more below.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG- (6.5 of 10) RL side 1; RL SS side 2. The LP itself has light scuffing and scratching -- has bruising consistently on both sides. I took pictures that tried to reveal that. I will say, it does play better than expected (Hence the number is a bit high for a VG-). Light crackle throughout, but I really don't notice anything during 70% of the time between the hot mix and the energy. Is a VG-, but I'd say plays a shade better. ... It kicks for sure.
COVER: G (3.0 of 10) Not good. Lots of storage wear, and both seams totally split. One of which could easily be mended with glue though -- I'll leave that choice up to the next owner. Naturally you're here for the LP, I'm sure, but a good cover would probably have been a plus also. Not on this one, sorry. _______ 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 AT MM cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 17 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: Free 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
