 Tech Note:

Please be aware that on my play graded listings, I play the album as described (partial or entire) and report the surface playing quality in the listing. I listen attentively and don’t wander away from the listening axis of the speakers. However, the surface playing quality that I hear and what you hear on your system with the same record may vary depending on the equipment you have.  Those with low mass tables (thin or hollow plinth type like Pro-Ject, Rega, older Japanese models) and/or wide tipped stylus shapes (elliptical, shibata, micro ridge just to name some) may hear a different surface condition than I do (or don’t) with a high mass table (VPI Scoutmaster)and line contact stylus shape (Benz Micro Wood L2). This is because the setup of my type produces quieter and darker backgrounds leading to a quieter playing record. Also the smaller diameter of the line contact stylus (and others like it) run deeper in the grooves contacting parts of the record that unless played on the same diameter tip, have never been touched before, producing a quieter surface and tighter detailed reproduction. I also use and strongly recommend a center clamp to couple the record to the platter to reduce vibrations and solidify bass response. The heavier the better as this puts no increased torque on the motor due to the dead center physics of its placement. It can also flatten out a minor unevenness or even a partial warp on the record. I will also state if a particular pressing requires clamping or not due to such a condition. 

Please be aware of this as you play your album upon receiving it from me. I try my best to present quality used LP’s to buyers in such a way that you know pretty much exactly what you are going to get rather than just listing an LP as in Excellent condition. That tells nothing about what the LP could sound like (and I can’t believe the sometimes high bid amounts I see on these being unknown!) . Also note that I DO list LP’s as visual grades also. I simply do not have the time to play each and every one that I list.
Play graded listings may start a bit higher than average, but the LP has been vacuum cleaned (all are), and play inspected, adding value to the accurate listing this will produce, especially on those LP’s that play very quiet and NM..

Thank you in advance for your acknowledgement of this information.

Here is a rare copy of Beautiful Garbage by Garbage on a USA Interscope 06949 31151 double vinyl LP pressing. The jacket is VG+ for a diagonal bend/crinkle on the upper left corner, as if it was grabbed against form of the record, to crease and weaken the jacket at this point. Looking at it face forward it is not apparent. There is also a slight light wear mark in the form of an arc (tracing the LP edge), but since it is on the white area, is slightly noticeable. There are no splits, holes, rips, tears or other wear. The LP’s are both visual near mint and play VG+. Record one side one has a slight edge warp that is very gradual, not sudden, so there are no effects from this and plays unclamped. Side two has less effect of the warp with the record flipped over. I played the LP all through and the only noise is slight on the opening of sides two and four, and there is very occasional light tick/crackle, no pops or surface noise. The sound on this record ROCKS!!! Solid presentation that hits you hard!! This is a rare 2001 vinyl LP pressing of this alternative rock title!! Two sided lyric sheet included also. All LP’s are professionally vacuum cleaned on a VPI 16.5 RCM. Winner pays $4 media or $15 Priority USA shipping by paypal or an MO. International ok with paypal ONLY and $25 1st class international shipping. I combine shipping also.
