Description
This is such a dope album. ... FINALLY found an original. I haven't seen one in years, and this one is pretty solid. Not perfect, but damn nice.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG+ (7.5 of 10) First red label, stereo. It's nice. Generally very well preserved with only very light paper scuffs, two or three surface dull marks, and one light hairline on side 2 causing a very light tic--underneath the music, and not out front. Outside that line, everything is rock solid play. Numerical value would be higher, save for the tics on a track or so.
COVER: VG+ (8.5 of 10) Also fantastic. No splits, writing, etc. Shelf and corner wear, and some very light flaking starting on bottom seam. It also comes with original inner sleeve! But not the bumper sticker, sorry. Don't miss this one, though--it is a hard one to find. _______ Now the standard messages:
GRADING: Yes I use standard grading. HOWEVER, I will NEVER use the word "mint" or "near mint" to describe a used LP ... sorry, won't do it. The highest I go is VG+. I use a number after to more represent a combination of how the vinyl looks and how it sounds. 10 is the best. I'll describe what I see in addition. I've found the combination of these two can minimize expectation gaps. But ask questions when in doubt.
CLEANING: Yes. All vinyl is cleaned ... on my own machine I made. Vacuum machine. I wash and rinse with my own formula cleaners -- once with my enzyme cleaner, and rinsed with my own distilled water/alcohol formula. ... this process has worked for me for years.
TESTING: Yes. I've listened to the records I sell. I play on a Lenco L70, via Denon 103 MC cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 6 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: Free for anywhere Media Mail, domestic. Overseas is BY WEIGHT, so check that weight before bidding, you overseas-ers! LPs shipped in a proper box with plastic sleeve, and yes, vinyl shipped outside the sleeve.
RETURNS: Generally a no go, unless you have a compelling reason. But if there's a serious problem, I'm sure we can figure it out with a return. I mean, I am an adult ... allegedly. But I do try to describe accurately, offer time for questions, and I deal in used records, not new stuff ... yes, it's always kind of a gamble buying via eBay, which is why I try to do my best to make an objective attempt to describe the LP in question. ASK QUESTIONS WHEN IN DOUBT. I promise, we can make this an easy transaction
