Description
Blue Note BLP 4151. Black Fire. Mono. New York USA address on the label. VAN GELDER stamped in the dead wax. The Ear/Script P in the dead wax. The cover grades VG++ with the only issue being a slightly dinged corner at the bottom left. See the 3rd photo. A visual grade of the record is VG++ with just a couple of very faint hairlines and top gloss. A play grade is near mint. The Blue Note inner sleeve has some splits.
ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: The USPS created unnecessary chaos on 1/25/2021. Europe no longer has consistent pricing, it varies from country to country. Finland is $3.75 more than Sweden. Does that make sense? No, it doesn't. The UK, France, Germany and a few others have a lower rate. It's not possible for me to match every country with the correct rate. I've had to use the highest rate across the board. If your country ends up being dramatically lower I'll refund the difference. You can refer to USPS.com to check their rates.
GRADING
Near Mint or Mint Minus: My top grade. The record or cover will show the most minimal of wear. The record will have top gloss. The cover will be free from any ring wear, splits, or handwriting.
VG++ : Not quite Near Mint but a super clean, desirable record.
VG+ : The record or cover will show signs of wear but no significant defects.
VG : Obvious signs of wear but the record still has life in it. VG does not mean beat.
VG Minus : The record or cover will show moderate to heavy wear. For a common record this would not be an acceptable grade. For an in-demand, rare record it should be considered.
Good : Very heavy wear. This grade would only be acceptable if the record is rare enough that you might not see another copy available for sale or it's a rare record at a low price.
