Artist: Stanley Turrentine with the 3 Sounds Title: Blue Hour Label/Number: Blue Note BLP-4057 (M) Jacket condition: VG Record condition: VG Notes: This LP qualifies as one of those that I occasionally sell under the description of "rough but rare". The cover isn't trashed but it does have some pretty significant wear along the seams and corners and a fair amount of ring wear. The original owner also wrote his last name in ink at the top of the back cover. The labels are in OK condition with a fair number of light spindle marks. The vinyl still has good gloss but it has a considerable number of scuffs and scratches that detract from its appearance and warrants the VG grade that I've assigned. It plays pretty well with light surface noise throughout and a few light ticks and pops. It does have an original Blue Note inner sleeve although the sleeve is well worn with both side seams split and the bottom partially split. Grading: Grading is usually only visual unless there are obvious problems that need to be checked out. I did play this one as noted above. I use Ebay grading standards but please read the notes above as I try to note anything that might influence the grading one way or another. I try to be conservative and grade as though I were buying the record and hope my feedback speaks well for my grading. Mono (M) or Stereo (S) is noted after catalog number. Don't hesitate to e-mail questions. Mailing and costs: Domestic shipping is via USPS, media mail with delivery confirmation. I ship in cardboard mailers made specifically for records with additional cardboard pads for added protection. Shipping and handling charges are a flat $4.00 for the first LP and $1.00 per additional LP. Overseas shipping on purchases under $50.00 may be sent by USPS First Class Mail International but I will upgrade at the buyer's request. Orders for more than $50.00 will need to be by Priority Mail International. This provides added protection for both the buyer and for me. The price will be the actual shipping costs plus $1.50 for the mailer and pads noted above.

I always mail in a poly sleeve with the record outside the jacket. If there's an original inner sleeve I also remove the record from that and put it in a plain sleeve for mailing. That way, there are no seam splits on either the jacket or the sleeve due to any handling in the mail. I'm always happy to combine shipping costs for multiple purchases.
