Description

VINYL

DISC 1  Side 1:  plays Mint, visually Mint- under halogen light

             Side 2:  plays Mint, visually as close to Mint as you’ll find

DISC 2

            Side 1:   plays perfectly except for a tiny flaw that causes ticks for about six revolutions in cut 2, no skipping or repeating, otherwise visually Mint-

            Side 2:   plays Mint, visually as close to Mint as you’ll find, all sides retain original gloss, it would be very hard to find a cleaner copy 

LABELS

          Disc 1:  no spindle trails

          Disc 2:  side 1 no spindle trails, side 2 has one nearly invisible spindle mark

 
COVER

          Front:   solid seams, square spine, a trace of ring wear at right and bottom, bottom corners very slightly bumped, upper right has 4 tiny staple holes that go through the entire cover, not distracting

          Back: no ring wear, lower left corner slightly bumped, very short crimp near spine

          Gatefold: clean, has photo of what used to be called the “unknown woman” who is actually Claudia Cardinale only found on earliest editions. 

INNER:  will come with archival inners

DESCRIPTION:  My description might sound overly critical. This is a truly nice copy that would be hard to duplicate. Some sellers might call all four sides visually Mint under normal light. One of his best LPs alongside Highway 61.

__________________________

No international shipping.

I ship once a week, but always within 5 days of your payment. Combined shipping is possible for up to three LPs with a small surcharge for added weight.

Records are shipped in the highest quality LP mailers with the record secured outside of the cover to avoid seam splits. Returned LPs must be shipped in the same way. Damage to the cover or disc will void returns.

Please don’t bid if If you own a Crosley or similar inexpensive (aka “cheap”) turntable. LPs that play perfectly on a real turntable may have problems playing correctly on a toy turntable with no ability to adjust tone arm tracking weight or anti-skid. These junk tables will destroy your collection. My advice: stop buying LPs until you purchase a real (non-USB) turntable, new or used.

______________________________________________________________

   I began buying records in the mid 60’s and I've always been fanatical about record care and storage.

   The records I sell are from my personal collection, including backup copies. I've never been one to buy VG records or anything with an audible scratch, which eliminates the vast majority. If I do miss an audible flaw, then kindly contact me and it will be rectified.

   I use standard US grading plus the UK grade of EX in order to eliminate the dreaded VG++

   Records are first inspected under a halogen light (the only light that shows every flaw) and any blemishes are examined with a 10x power magnifier which allows the grooves to be fully inspected. Then they’re play graded on a Linn Sondek LP12.

   Over the decades, I've seen grading fads come and go, such as: “visual” grading by people who don't own a turntable; the current use of nonsense grades like NM+ and NM- as well as the dubious belief that there’s no such thing as a mint record.

   As a record buyer, I've had a lot of over graded “garage sale” LPs arrive covered with gritty dust and greasy fingerprints while the seller claims a “visual” grade based on fantasy. Be assured that my records will arrive clean and fingerprint free.
