Description
TITLE: J.J. Cale, "5" TEST PRESSING
VINYL GRADE: VG
COVER GRADE: Generic
DESCRIPTION: Ultra rare TEST PRESSING of J.J. Cale's "5" album. Both labels are blank (white) while A side label has a sticker, onto which is printed "SR 3163 | J. J. Cale | Side 1". The runouts of Side A read: "MCA 1828 CRS-1 XSY153373-3J" and then the symbol for a pressing from the Gloversville plant. This record has its original luster, a couple faint hairlines / sleeve scuffs that don't affect play. We have graded this VG because there are also a couple white flecks that do pop once or twice as they pass. I am often able to soak these in cleaning solution and clean them away but was unsuccessful on this LP. It has been ultrasonic and Nitty Gritty vacuum cleaned, and I intend to clean it one more time before shipping. I have placed the LP in an audiophile, anti-static inner sleeve.
The cover provided is a generic white cardboard DJ sleeve (open hole for label). Onto this sleeve has been written in ink pen "J.J. Cale" and then in smaller print "1979 | 1980". The cardboard sleeve has some rubbing and light discoloration.
USED LPs: All used LPs have either already been cleaned on an ultrasonic cleaner or will be ultrasonic cleaned before shipping. All used LPs are placed in a fresh paper sleeve after being cleaned, and original inner sleeves are placed back inside the cover with the new sleeve if present and if printed (not just plain paper or rice paper). We will place more expensive records in an audiophile, anti-static inner sleeve instead of paper. We have, in most cases, play graded LPs before listing but some LPs have been visually graded. We do our absolute best to accurately grade every LP and to grade conservatively for ultimate customer satisfaction.
HOW WE SHIP: All LPs are shipped in a square LP mailer with 2 extra cardboard pads for protection. All open/used LPs are shipped with the album outside the cover in a poly sleeve to prevent seam splits during transit. We will open new LPs for this same treatment UPON REQUEST. All LPs being shipped domestically are done so with USPS Media Mail. Our $5.85 shipping rate is our exact cost of media mail shipping on all LPs weighing less than 2 lbs. packed (most) + an LP mailer and two cardboard pads; we are making no profit on this shipping charge. All international shipments are sent USPS 1st Class Airmail. We ship out 6 days/week: Monday through Saturday. A tracking number is provided with all domestic shipments. International shipments are sent the customs form number.
