Description

VINYL:  All four sides play Mint, visually all four sides are in flawless pristine condition with no lines or blemishes of any size even when viewed under halogen light, pressed on translucent virgin vinyl


LABELS:  all four labels are Mint with no spindle marks


COVER 

            Front:    solid seams & spine, barely a trace of ring wear and a few tiny ink rubs


            Back:    slight ring wear


            Gatefold:  clean with no graffiti


INNERS:   original inners with no splits


INSERTS:  cardboard inserts clean and flat with no splits


DESCRIPTION:  Absolutely flawless vinyl with an excellent cover with just a few tiny ink rubs and a trace of ring wear. These early MFSL discs pressed on translucent virgin vinyl are far superior to the current Anadisc 200 versions. I’ve always considered the heavy weight 180 to 200 gram LPs to be a scam. 200 grams of inferior vinyl is still inferior vinyl, the weight is irrelevant.  


Insurance included.

International shipping only to: Germany, France, UK, Austria, Australia, Japan, Canada. Shipping is by Priority with insurance and tracking. No Exceptions.


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 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.
