About Test Pressings:

Test pressings are historically the first pressings made or "stamped" and are intended for music critics, promotion and colleagues in the industry.  For some, the test pressings are highly desired as these are the first vinyl copies to be pressed by a "record stamper" ensuring higher fidelity.  These test pressings have the same quality and sonic fidelity, as they are first ones to be pressed off the final, "approved" virgin "record stampers" at the time of production.  All test pressings were visually and aurally inspected.


Shipping:

We are currently shipping only to the Continental USA.  An update to our valued customers;  As many of you know, we try to and most often have shipped Fedex 2 Day and Home Delivery and USPS Priorty Mail.  Our cost for this was around $10-$14, and mostly we have charged $9-$11 for this service.  However, most recently USPS and Fedex have greatly increased their rates.  The same services now are approx. $15-$20...  Also, shipping materials have greatly increased, and we do not sacrifice on shipping materials and methods.  Our 'per shipment materials cost' is about $4.00 per package plus shipping rate, and remember, eBay even takes a cut of the shipping fee we collect!   In most cases what we charge for shipping does not cover shipping materials and delivery.  

Going forward, we will be using Media Mail more often.  Our comfort with Media Mail is that in over 300 records shipped using the Whiplash Mailer, we have not had one issue.  Please note, we factor in final sale value, number of records in order, customer location, shipping options and rates available to find the best value and fastest delivery.  When we ship media mail, we use the highly regarded 'Whiplash' box which is constructed with heavy gauge cardboard with extra corner protection.  We take great care to package the records - please review our feedback for the great comments on our shipping practices.  The shipping charges are for both the benefit of the buyer and seller, providing for insurance, select expedited shipping and top rate packing materials.  Ebay offers third party insurance for Media Mail. 

Disclaimer and Customer Service: 

We, and this transaction are not affiliated with Music Matters Jazz.  Should you have a record that is unplayable or contains a significant defect, please contact us first.  We may be able to replace the copy.  But note, all records have been visually inspected.  Please note, the actual photos of 'white jacket' or label may differ, within the same title.  some have open label jackets, some have closed label jackets.  Also note, a Test Pressing may show evidence of factory or engineer play as they are designed to evaluate the stampers.

Image of actual album cover is for reference only, album comes with white jacket only as noted above.

Standard Warranty of Records: 

All records potentially have some miniscule pressing or handling artifact which may include tics.  None of these should affect the play and we cannot return or replace records that have these standard artifacts.  All records have been visually inspected.  Topical or miniscule paper sleeve marks, and other signs of incidental handling will not cause audible surface noise.  All records should be cleaned prior to play to remove mold release agents caused in manufacturing and packaging.  Cleaning of records is a standard requirement and the best way to enjoy the full aural spectrum of the recording.

Thank you and bid with confidence as we have excellent feedback.
