Description
ATTENTION! I AM A RECORD COLLECTOR AND JAZZ ENTHUSIAST, NOT A HIGH VOLUME DEALER. I TAKE PRIDE IN MY RECORDS, AND TREAT THEM WELL. PLEASE BID WITH CONFIDENCE.
ALL RECORDS ARE VINTAGE USA PRESSINGS UNLESS NOTED. I DO NOT HAVE TIME TO PLAY GRADE ALL LPS, BUT WILL NOTE WHEN AN LP HAS BEEN PLAY GRADED. SEE MY GRADING SCALE BELOW FOR MORE DETAIL. I OFFER MONEY BACK + ORIGINAL SHIPPING COST (NOT RETURN SHIPPING) ON ANY RECORD RATED VG OR BETTER WITHIN 14 DAYS IF NOT COMPLETELY SATISFIED. RECORDS LISTED AS VG- (MINUS) OR BELOW ARE SOLD AS-IS. KEEP IN MIND THAT THESE RECORDS OFTEN PLAY MUCH BETTER THAN THE VISUAL GRADE ASSIGNED DUE TO THE QUALITY OF THE EARLIER PRESSINGS. I ALWAYS COMBINE SHIPPING TO SAVE $$$$.

CLIFFORD BROWN quartet BLUE NOTE 10” NEAR MINT-
BLUE NOTE BLP-5047
COVER: NEAR MINT-
VINYL: NEAR MINT- (SEE NOTES BELOW)
PLAY GRADE: SOUNDS GREAT! PLAYS FLAWLESSLY.
NOTES: BOTH RECORD AND COVER HAVE SEEN VERY LITTLE HANDLING. THE RECORD HAS A VERY LIGHT FILM ON IT MOST LIKELY CAUSED FROM BEING STORED IN THE CARDBOARD OUTER SLEEVE FOR OVER 50 YEARS. THIS FILM IN NO WAY AFFECTS THE FIDELITY OF THE RECORD, AS IT PLAYS FLAWLESSLY AS MENTIONED ABOVE. I HAVE SINCE STORED THE RECORD IN A NEW INNER SLEEVE, BUT HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE ABOVE MENTIONED FILM. BESIDES THAT, THERE ARE NO MARKS OF ANY KIND ON THIS RECORD, SURFACE OR OTHER. LEXINGTON AVENUE ADDRESS.

ANY RECORD LISTENED TO WILL HAVE A SELF EXPLANITORY
GRADE ASSIGNED TO IT. IF A RECORD HAS NOT BEEN PLAY

VISUAL GRADING
NEAR MINT:
A RECORD HAS TO BE PRETTY MUCH FREE OF ANY VISUAL FLAWS
WITH AN IMMACULATE COVER TO GET THIS GRADE.
NEAR MINT- (MINUS):
A VERY CLEAN RECORD WITH MAYBE A FEW SUPERFICIAL SLEEVE
MARKS THAT DO NOT AFFECT PLAY. COVER WILL HAVE TIGHT SEAMS
AND LITTLE TO NO VISIBLE WEAR.
VG++ (VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS):
A NOTCH ABOVE VG+. PRETTY CLEAN LP WITH SOME SUPERFICIAL
MARKS THAT SHOULD NOT AFFECT PLAY. COVERS WILL BE CLEAN
WITH ONLY MINOR AGE WEAR.
VG+ (VERY GOOD PLUS):
A NICE LP WITH SOME SUPERFICIAL MARKS AND MAYBE A FEW
HAIRLINES. IF ANY AFFECT TO PLAY, ONLY AT LOW VOLUME
PASSAGES. COVERS HAVE CLEAN GRAPHICS, BUT MAY HAVE MINOR
SEAM DAMAGE.
VG (VERY GOOD):
STILL A NICE RECORD. LP MAY HAVE SOME HAIRLINE MARKS AS WELL
AS SKUFFING. SOME GROOVEWEAR MAY BE EVIDENT. RECORD MAY
PLAY WITH SOME OCCASIONAL BACKGROUND CRACKLE, BUT WILL
HAVE NO STICKS, OR SKIPS. COVERS MAY HAVE MINOR SEAM
SPLITTING, SMALL WRITING, ETC.
VG-(VERY GOOD MINUS):
A RECORD THAT HAS BEEN PLAYED A LOT. PROBABLY MORE THAN A
FEW SKUFFS AND SCRATCHES. MAY PLAY WITH CONSISTANT
BACKROUND NOISE, OR THE OCCAISIONAL HARD POP. MAY OR MAY
NOT HAVE SKIP OR STICK. COVERS WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT SEAM
DAMAGE, TAPE, WRITING, STICKERS, OR ANY COMBINATION OF THE
ABOVE. THE ONLY TIME THIS GRADE IS USED IS IF THE ITEM IS EXTRA
RARE OR COLLECTIBLE.
GOOD:
I LIKE TO CALL THESE RECORDS BEAT! THE VINYL MAY LOOK LIKE SOMEONE ATTACKED IT WITH STEEL WOOL AND A SWITCH BLADE. RECORD MOST LIKELY SOUNDS LIKE FRYING BACON WITH SOME MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND. COVERS WILL BE COMPLETELY SPLIT, HAVE BAD TAPE, WRITING, AND OVERALL BE A BLIGHT ON SOCIETY. THE ONLY TIME I WILL LIST A RECORD AS “GOOD” IS IF I AM THINKING OF THROWING IT AWAY OR IT IS REDICULOUSLY RARE.
On Nov-02-06 at 22:27:13 PST, seller added the following information: in response to questions, the film on the three blue note records as i can best describe it is a light spotty film due to being stored in the cardboard sleeve. it does not cover the entire surface of the vinyl. the labels have no wear. the covers have no marks, writing, splits or other marrs. if anything, a very, very slight age discloration to the back. i do not have access to a professional record cleaner, but would think that this film could be removed with one. not sure though. i will leave that up to someone else to try. since the records play so well as thry are, i haven't worried about it. these records were owned by a man who listened to them once or twice and then stored them for fifty years. thanks for your interest, and hope this makes things a little clearer.
