NOTE: I'll allow Ebay overseas shipping program only for international orders. I ship to a distribution location, and they handle from there -- and I believe it's fairly expensive. So check before hand.

Really great copy of this Hill album. Plays clean -- don't miss this handful of Blue Notes I have right now; I don't always come across this many.

See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (8.0 of 10) New York labels, VAN GELDER runout stamp, Ear marks, heavy vinyl, and MONO. Plays pretty great. A little scuffing, dull mark, and I found one whisp mark on side 2. Only issue I saw (that some will care about) was a really slight pressing wave where the needle went up slightly for a track on side 2 -- zero issues with playback however. I played it through twice. Not a warp, and it seems like it came with the vinyl. Plays rock solid all through, and sounds phenomenal. ... like really good. Highly suggested. I forgot Dolphy was on this one!
COVER: VG+ (8.2 of 10) Mirrors vinyl condition, but just a shade better. There's some seam wear, and a 1" split top opening seam, and 1" bottom middle.  Other than that, just a little age. The original inner even looks pretty decent. _______ 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, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 17 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
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. 
NOTE: Due to the pandemic, I am temporarily suspending international shippments. Once international Post catches up, I begin again.
RETURNS: Generally a no go, unless you have a compelling reason. But if there's a serious problem, I'm sure we can figure it out with a return. I mean, I am an adult ... allegedly. But I do try to 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
