Description
First time I've encountered this record, and it's extra good. This copy is pretty clean, too.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG+ (9.0 of 10) Black label, first press. It's in pretty beautiful shape. There's some trace paper scuffing, and a small wear mark. One tiny pressing bubble. Gloss is fantastic, it plays through smooth and has fantastic fidelity. A stray crackle or pop perhaps, but very few and far between.
COVER: VG+ (8.0 of 10) No splits! A few creases on front, and a little soiling on back is all. This is a great copy. Comes with original wax inner sleeve as well. _______ 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 AT MM cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 6 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: Free 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.
Also NOTE: My post is notorious for not updating tracking until the next hub. So if there's a few days without an update, do not worry. I usually drop off my packages the day after the sale ... it is on the way, and the tracking is simply lagging. This has been a standard issue with my post office for quite some time now.
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
