SYNOPSIS

   

Ambient pioneer, glam rocker, hit producer, multimedia artist, technological innovator, worldbeat proponent, and self-described non-musician -- over the course of his long, prolific, and immensely influential career, Brian Eno was all of these things and much, much more. Determining his creative pathways with the aid of a deck of instructional, tarot-like cards called Oblique Strategies, Eno championed theory over practice, serendipity over forethought, and texture over craft; in the process, he forever altered the ways in which music is approached, composed, performed, and perceived, and everything from punk to techno to new age bears his unmistakable influence. In 1971 he rose to prominence as a member of the seminal glam band Roxy Music, playing the synthesizer and electronically treating the band's sound. A flamboyant enigma decked out in garish makeup, pastel feather boas, and velvet corsets, his presence threatened the focal dominance of frontman Bryan Ferry, and relations between the two men became strained; finally, after just two LPs -- 1972's self-titled debut and 1973's brilliant For Your Pleasure -- Eno exited Roxy's ranks to embark on a series of ambitious side projects.

Eno's solo debut, Here Come the Warm Jets, is a spirited, experimental collection of unabashed pop songs on which Eno mostly reprises his Roxy Music role as "sound manipulator," taking the lead vocals but leaving much of the instrumental work to various studio cohorts (including ex-Roxy mates Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay, plus Robert Fripp and others). The album wouldn't sound nearly as manic as it does without Eno's wildly unpredictable sound processing; he coaxes otherworldly noises and textures from the treated guitars and keyboards, layering them in complex arrangements or bouncing them off one another in a weird cacophony. Avant-garde yet very accessible, Here Come the Warm Jets still sounds exciting, forward-looking, and densely detailed, revealing more intricacies with every play.  *

PAYMENTS   

    1.  METHOD: PayPal is the required payment method to be used for all payments. It results in a much more streamlined, expedited and efficient transaction for both the buyer and the seller     2. INVOICING: Payment can be made from the notification invoice received from eBay UNLESS there are multiple purchases that need to be combined which would create a situation where shipping discounts would have to be manually downward adjusted by the seller.      3. TIMELINE: Payment is requested by the FOURTH day following the completion of the auction "UNLESS",  you are planning on bidding on additional items that are  coming up for bid or your schedule does not permit. Either way, please just notify me and make sure that I am aware.                    

SHIPPING & HANDLING FEES DISCLOSURE

    DOMESTIC:     Domestic Shipping & Handling (S&H) Fees total ($1.15). This fee is strictly a cost reimbursement as there is absolutely NO PROFIT, NO SUPPLIES (tape, packing material, etc) NOR ANY LABOR TIME built into this fees. For full, and fair, disclosure, this fee will cover the actual cost of  protective packaging, and shipping materials such as custom LP mailers and protective poly jacket sleeves which are purchased from "Bags Unlimited". The intent of using these aid in the successful arrival of the merchandise to the buyer. These mailers are also required for Priority Mail as the USPS does not make Priority Mail boxes that fit LP's. Delivery Confirmation is also included in the price of the shipping.     INTERNATIONAL:     International Shipping & Handling Fees total ($2.75) will consist of  the protective shipping items as noted in domestic S&H in additional to the cost associated for an extra trip to the Post Office to validate postage amounts prior to shipment and for the completion of REQUIRED Customs Forms    

POSTAGE CALCULATION

     I use the eBay/USPS Postage Calculator Tool in order to determine postage amounts. This system calculates postage amounts based upon the shipments' destination (International Vs. Domestic, West Coast Vs. East Coast, Shipping type (Priority Vs. Media Mail, the weight of item and any applicable shipping & handling (S&H) fees.      DOMESTIC:     Postage Type for Domestic shipments is the decision of the buyer. Most frequently used would be  Media Mail (as it is least expensive), sometimes Parcel and some buyers want their merchandise sent the most dependable (although the highest priced) way and use Priority Mail.      

INTERNATIONAL:

    Postage Type for International shipments must be shipped via International Priority. This is a higher cost shipping method but is is also one that is much more dependable for receipt, much quicker for delivery, has a more effective tracking systems  and has the option that allows for items to be insured which is a big plus when it comes to shipping to countries on the other side of the world.    

DELIVERY

    As International shipments are much more difficult to track than domestic shipments and inevitably take longer to deliver PLEASE be patient in waiting the merchandise delivery as it could take a month (I've seen it many times). Rest assured that any delay will not be due to the seller whose policy is to ship within 24 hours of receipt of payment, and it's too bad the postal services don't operate with the same guarantees.    

POSTAGE SAVINGS

    Buyers can always save on shipping costs by winning multiple auctions resulting in a combined postage amount. In additional to reducing postage charges for the remaining items purchase it will also result in a reduction of shipping and handling fees as the LP protective mailers can fit up to 5 LP's therefore those costs are not necessary on additional items.                     

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

    1. Communicate with each buyer advising them of the status of their transaction to reinforce the comfort feeling.     2. Package merchandise as though it were being shipped to myself, increasing the probability of a safe shipment.     3. Pack for safety and also with a goal of keeping package weight down to better control shipping costs.     4. Provide buyer with the deserved feedback based upon their responsibility for payment and unlike others not  hold feedback on them and use as leverage      5. Provide the buyer with expedited handling service with a one day handling (turnaround) commitment     5. Allowing the buyer a 14 day open window for returns providing that an objective reason associated with that return     6.If issues arise, resolve it to the buyers satisfaction just like I would want to be treated                    

RETURNS

 

 

Buyer will have a fourteen (14) day window in order to return any item purchased. The only qualifiers are that the reason for return to be an Objective one Vs. being a Subjective one. As all vinyl collectors, and enthusiasts, are well aware, LP vinyl, and LP jackets," grading" is extremely "SUBJECTIVE" and in the end is simply just one man's opinion. A difference of opinion on a vinyl's, or covers', "PROPER" or "CORRECT" grade is something that even two people may not agree on therefore this factor alone will NOT be grounds for a refund. I attempt to describe each piece of vinyl, and every cover's, pluses & minuses as very best that I can ensuring that I mention major flaws, post a good picture and arrive at a fair grade. My routine practice is to under grade items so as to prevent an unhappy buyer. If the vinyl looks just about perfect, I will grade it lower so that not to take a chance that a buyer may find something under a floodlight. I am not selling my collection with the intent of taking advantage of anyone as those that do so will find that action coming around to them. My feedback pretty much supports that philosophy in regards to the accurate grading. On the other hand, if there is an "OBJECTIVE" reason for returning the merchandise that is totally appropriate and I will gladly accept that return. For example, a record that is listed as "Still Sealed" and it arrives as an opened item, a record is advertised as a original release and turns out to be a reissue, a record is listed as a US release and turns out to be an import) then these are clearly objective reasons to return, which I will gladly accept. 

    Damaged Merchandise: If merchandise is damaged in transit it will be the buyer's responsibility to address that issue with their local post office. The buyer was the final decision maker on how their merchandise was to be shipped (e.g. Priority,  Media Mail, Etc.) with each method having, at the least, a perceived understanding of how the item will arrive.                       

GRADING PROCESS

    Condition Grading Scale: I use "Goldmine" which is the standard that collectors use to buy and sell. See below for grading definitions and explanations.     Visual or Play Graded: Visual, primarily due to time constraints and the volume (thousands) of records that we are dealing with. I use a bright 150W light bulb and I also grade conservatively and doing so for over thirty years. In order to ensure that buyers are happy, All flaws worth noting to potential buyers (scratches, MINOR warps, cut out holes, saw marks, split cover seams, writing, etc.) will be listed in the item descriptions in an attempt to avoid any, and all, surprises.                    

RECORD GRADING SCALE DETAIL

1   1. MINT (M):     Sealed. This is the Holy Grail stage of the vinyl which can not be used on an opened item.     2. NEAR MINT (NM OR M-):              A NM record “looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time.” In other words, it’s nearly perfect. They are shiny w/ NO visible defects. There can be NO writing, stickers, markings, etc either on the jacket, label or vinyl. NM records do not have to be "unlayed" as  a record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for properly. NM covers are free of creases, ring wear & splits.     3. VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS (VG++):             I do not use this often but do so when an Item appears extremely close to Near Mint (e.g. blemishes and minimal marks exist that are practically unnoticeable to the naked eye). As I grade conservatively, I can not give this a Near Mint even though the flaws might go unnoticed to others so the resultant grade is VG++     4. VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) or EXCELLENT (E):     A VG+ record is “except for a couple minor factors, would be Near Mint.” VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, also. There may be some very faint signs of  ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint.     5. VERY GOOD (VG)             VG records may have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record may have surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise. Minor writing, tape or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have jukeboxes will use VG records in them and not think twice. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in  better shape. VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too     6. Good (G),  Good Plus (G+) or  Very Good Minus (VG–):          I DO NOT PLAN ON USING THIS GRADE AS I PREFER NOT SELLING RECORDS AT THAT GRADING LEVEL     7. POOR (P) and FAIR (F):           I DO NOT PLAN ON USING THIS GRADE AS I PREFER NOT SELLING RECORDS AT THAT GRADING LEVEL
