Description
What you're looking at: I'm pretty sure this is a first pressing, yes? Straight label, and a very interesting album. Personally, I dig it, but my wife won't allow it ... meh ... Anyway, the LPs are in solid VG shape. Plays pretty decently with a little ticking here and there. The cover is in VG shape with overall wear -- particularly on the seams.
How it stacks up:
RECORD: VG (6.5 of 10) Decent enough shape. Good player. Hairlines on all sides, and perhaps some light scuffing. Plays good for me with some ticking/light noise ... but sometimes I can't tell because it blends in with the music. If you know this album, you'll know what I'm talking about.
SLEEVE: VG (6.5 of 10) The shape of the cover matches that of the albums. Some general wear -- particularly on the seams.
ATTENTION: I am now pleased to say that all records are vacuum cleaned prior to shipping!!
MY GRADING SCALE:
OK, my goal is to be as specific as I can without being too wordy. I give one of these (from worst to best): G, VG-, VG, VG+, VG++. That's it. No more letters, thus VG++ is an amazing record.
NM, and M, do NOT exist in this grading scale.
AFTER THE GENERAL GRADING SCALE, I have a number, which is meant to be more specific. I find that a number is more specific than a general opinion. This is meant to give you a more-specific idea of what you are getting into audio-quality wise.
- I play with a customized Thorens TD 165 with a Denon 103 MM cartridge (YEAH!!) through Polk Speakers and a Pioneer receiver.
RETURNS: I do offer a TWO week grace period for returns (that means the buyer pays shipping to me). I give plenty of chances to see what you’re buying (audio clips if you wish, emails, two part grading system and a full policy description) and, as I see it, the buyer has as much responsibility as the seller to a) know what they are buying and b) have the decency to ask prior to purchase.
US COMBINED SHIPPING: I charge a flat rate of $4 for one record, which covers postage, plastic sleeves, replacement inserts, shipping boxes, etc … If you purchase more, it is $1 extra for each record.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I do ship overseas, but CHECK THE QUOTE BEFORE BIDDING!!
I hope this answers all questions and concerns; however, if it doesn’t, EMAIL ME. Cheers!
