Description

Zoot Sims - Trotting! (or maybe Quartets), white label test pressing, vinyl: VG+ (looks solidly VG+, play grade varied from VG to NM-, with some parts sounding excellent and others with some light pops and cracks)/cover: generic. Pretige Records

 

A Side Matrix: PR 16009 A  8295 A  RVG (etched)  PRLP-7026 A E 1

 

B Side Matrix: RVG (etched)  PRLP-7026 B  8295 B  PR 16009 B E 1

 

I'm not entirely sure whether this test pressing is the Quartets version from the late '50s or the Trotting! version from the early '60s, but based on the presence of the 16009 catalog number, I'm guessing it's Trotting! 

 

Shipping is $4 in the U.S. and will include tracking and insurance. International shipping will be via Priority Mail International with insurance.

 

I grade visually using the following guidelines:

 

Vinyl:
S = sealed

M = opened but perfect in all details
NM =  one or perhaps two minor problems at the most that should not affect sound (i.e. paper scuff, spindle mark at center hole, fingernail scratch on label, non- removable fingerprint or previous sticker glue)
NM– =  two or three of the above problems, maybe a slight, unraised hairline scratch (can’t be felt with a fingernail). In other words, a couple of visible defects that should not affect sound
VG+ = more scuffs and a few slightly visible scratches that should affect the sound minimally at most, but no deep scratches
VG = noticeable scratches and scuffs that will most likely be heard when played
VG– = more serious surface scratches or multiple defacing problems or slight groove depth scratch 
G = it just gets worse from here and it would be rare for me to list a record in this condition

Covers:

S = sealed

M = absolutely perfect in every way

NM = should have no creases, folds, seam splits, or cut-out holes, just the slightest signs of age

NM– = like above, but with slightly more sign of age

VG+ = no more than three flaws that have to be explained, such as small writing, more noticeable ring wear, and slight wear to the seams

VG = has writing, stickers, or seam splitting, and looks obviously worn, but the artwork still looks decent

G = significantly more than normal wear and tear, but it still holds the record and isn’t ready for the garbage can

Less than G would be rare for me to list unless the vinyl was in significantly better shape 

 

I do my best to be honest and conservative with my visual grading. If, after receiving the record, you feel that it was not described accurately, I do accept returns within seven days of when they were received by the buyer. Return shipping is paid by the buyer. Once I receive the record, I will refund the original purchase price, including the original shipping cost.
