Description
PROMO ALERT!! NOT A DRILL, MINGUS PROMO. Ya, it is. And it's in real nice shape, vinyl wise. Sleeve is decent also.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG+ (8.5 of 10) Stereo WHITE LABEL PROMO. Deep Grooves, and clearly an early press. And it plays really well. There's maybe 3-4 light whisp marks, those hurt nothing. I found one short mark on side 1, track 2 that caused a very light rotation tick for maybe 10 rotations ... that's about it. The gloss is beautiful. It's a pretty clean copy. Not top, but man, not far from it.
COVER: VG (6.5 of 10) Decen sleeve. Normally I repair splits, but for a promo I'll leave it up to the next owner whether or not they want to repair them. 4" split top opening, 3" bottom opening. Otherwise just seam wear. Spine is 90% solid (small part of chipping). Corners are OK ish. Otherwise, art looks pretty solid with light ringwear. Liner notes and back is solid. _______ 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 17 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: $4.99 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. NOTE: International shipments are crawling because of COVID. If you're an international purchaser, be prepared to have extended wait times to get the record.
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
