MILES DAVIS - MILESTONES
First UK MONO pressing on the FONTANA Label TFL 5035
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some general remarks: I grade my records on top notch equipment, using the expensive BENZ MICRO SLR Gullwing MC-cartridge with the Micro Ridge cut diamond. It reveals everything from any Vinyl which sometimes can be a curse, especially with 40+ year old records. When I grade a record as Excellent, I am pretty sure many other sellers would not hestitate to call it Near Mint. When I give a record the "Near Mint" grading it is practically flawless. I am collecting Vinyl since 35+ years and own hundreds of records from the day they came into the shops.
The Vinyl: EXCELLENT - Held up into a very strong light I can see some hairlines but no scratches. These old Jazz records are very hard to find in enjoyable condition, but this one is. The playback is EXCELLENT throughout. The Vinyl sits flat on the turntable.
The Labels: EXCELLENT+, a few faint spindle-marks. No writing or debris.
The Sleeve: VG+. The laminated Flip-Back Sleeve has some edge-rubbing and a few light creases. No rips or tears or splits. 2 very small laminate bubbles on the upper left on front.
Inner Sleeve: Plain White, NEAR MINT
In case of any further questions please don't hesitate to mail me. I will answer promptly.
Due to the somehow weird eBay policies regarding postage please ignore the postage fee below. I decided to fix shipping at 7 GBP to anywhere in Europe and 9 GBP to the rest of the world. This includes the fees for "signed for/registered" and also Insurance to make sure the record arrives safely. It also allows to track it during its transit. The record ships from Germany.
I pack my records professionally in stiff record mailers leaving the Vinyl (housed in Nagaoka anti-static bags) outside the Sleeve.
Good luck.
