Description
Funny story about this: I bought it recently, and very. very oddly, I found another copy .... I mean what are the odds I find this album twice? For real though .... this album is hard. hittin'. ... I mean free jazz to the max, and it's amazing. An all out assault on your senses, for sure.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG+ (8.0 of 10) Original ESP Disk label, 5th Ave address on the back. Stereo copy. And the vinyl isn't a top copy .... but it's not far off at all. Only issues are some light paper scuffs, and 2 small pressing bubbles ... might cause a slight "woof" sound for a few rotations ... that's what I heard, but it's very minimal, and really not an issue .... other than that, this copy is tip top. I very much think this vinyl plays beautifully.
COVER: VG- (5.0 of 10) Clearly an old radio station copy. It has multiple identifiers on it (and spray paint?), and 4" split on bottom opening ... but still, it's not awful. As long as the look doesn't bother you, I highly suggest getting this copy. _________________________________________________________________ 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 Denon 103 MC cart; tube preamp, standard solid state amplification to KLH 17 speakers. An accurate-sounding system if I say so myself.
SHIPPING: $4.99 for 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 damn compelling reason. I 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.
