$

45

ARTIST: Oscar Levant

ALBUM: Levant Plays Debussy

LABEL: Columbia Records, 1950

CATALOG #: ML 4277

VINYL CONDITION: VG+

ORIGINAL COVER: Yes

COVER CONDITION: Excellent. Normal foxing from age. The only other defect that I can find is a tiny pin sized ding at about "2 o'clock" from the "LP" circle on the front cover. It is by no means anything major, but I did want to point it out in an effort to be as honest as possible to avoid any "surprises" upon delivery.

ORIGINAL SLEEVE: No, but a poly sleeve is included

COUNTRY PRODUCED IN: USA

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: This cover is one of the finest examples you will find on the market.

MY RATING SYSTEM:

SEALED: Shrink wrap is intact on all four sides to the extent that the event of vinyl ever leaving the interior of the cover would be a virtual impossibility. However, the condition of the vinyl album, cover and sleeve as a whole may vary. A sealed album does not necessarily mean that the album as a whole is as new. Please refer to the following ratings as well when considering a sealed album.

MINT: This rating is only considered on sealed albums. There are no visible flaws on the exterior of the cover. Condition of the shrink wrap itself is not usually graded, but if there something major that sticks out on it, I’ll most like say something in the “additional comments” section.

NM: (Near Mint) For the vinyl: There are no visible flaws. The record has been looked over very closely multiple times, and shows no scratches, scuffs, rub marks, sleeve marks, or any of the sorts.  For the cover: There are no visible flaws.

EX: (Excellent) For the vinyl: An album that has had multiple visual and/or audible examinations when being considered as “near mint”, but was later found to have a very minimal flaw upon closer examination. Any flaws found on an “excellent” album, are always very minor. These albums may have an occasional tic or pop caused by something that cannot be seen by a visual inspection. I find this to be normal on vinyl providing it is not excessive. For the cover: Very minimal wear, or may have a minor defect. A cover with a minor defect is considered to be “near mint”, but has a minor flaw such as a rubbed corner, small mark, normal foxing from age on older albums, bumped edge, or any of the sorts.

VG++: (Very Good++) For the vinyl: Has some visible surface marks upon initial inspection, but are considered to be non-audible. Some marks on the vinyl may be put through an audio inspection, and will be noted as such in the description. These albums may have an occasional tic or pop. I find this to be normal on vinyl providing it is not excessive. For the cover: The cover has normal wear, and shows no sign of abuse.

VG+: (Very Good+) For the vinyl: Has some minor surface marks and/or scratches, and are considered audible upon visual inspection. Some marks on the vinyl may be put through an audio inspection, and will be noted as such in the description. These albums may have an occasional tic or pop. I find this to be normal on vinyl providing it is not excessive. For the cover: The cover will have normal wear, but will usually have additional issues such as ring wear, clipped/hard bumped corners, minor splitting, scratches, multiple intentional inscriptions, and/or any of the sorts.

VG: (Very Good) For the vinyl: Typically, I will only sell rare and/or highly sought after albums in this condition. These albums have excessive marks and/or scratches that would be considered audible upon an initial visual inspection. Some marks on the vinyl may be put through an audio inspection, and will be noted as such in the description. For the cover: The cover has excessive wear and/or marks.

FAIR: Only rare and/or highly sought after albums in this condition will be listed. For the vinyl: Excessive visual markings, to the extent that the vinyl would be considered very hard to listen too, if at all.  For the cover: Essentially, it’s worth nothing more than two pieces of paperboard that cover a vinyl album.

     Please check my feedback and bid with confidence. Please check out my other auctions, as I am more than happy to combine shipping. If you purchase more than 1 record, any additional records of the same size or smaller will ship for free!  To combine shipping on multiple records purchased, you can do 1 of 2 things. 1: You can pay for shipping on the first album, and then select “local pick-up” (free) on the remainder of the albums you purchase. Or 2: If you pay for the shipping on any additional records purchased, I will just refund the additional shipping paid via Paypal once you are done with your purchases. If you do not contact me, telling me you are finished with your purchase by the following business day, I will assume you are done, and go ahead with your refund and ship your  records.

As for shipping, unfortunately, I will only ship within the United States. That means NO international shipping, (and yes, Canada IS international). If you ask me if I will ship to your country, and you do not live in the United States, you will not get a reply. I usually ship within 24 hours of payment. USPS tracking numbers are always included for peace of mind. I also always include insurance on all albums over $100. I have absolutely no problems with local pick-ups for those of you that want to save on shipping. As for payments, I ONLY accept Paypal, unless you are picking up the item yourself in which case I will accept cash. Payment is due within 2 days from the end of the auction. If you are going to need more time to send payment, please let me know in advance. Thanks for checking out my auction, and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, or need more pictures. Thanks & have a great day!
