Description
So I see these old jazz LPs all the time ... and this one feels really, really old. The cover feels like the thinner, older type, glossy on both sides, with the matte gloss ... it's pretty amazing actually. It's a pretty solid album, this one is.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG+ (8.0 of 10) Original mono, deep groove Riverside. So this one is really hard to grade, because I don't really think there's any scratches or scuffs at all. However, it does look like there's imperfections pressed into the vinyl. It looks a bit, cloudy I suppose? It does play through amazingly, but I hear what I actually think might be tape hiss from the masters ... I'm not sure. Or there could be light scuffs ... in any case, it's overall in fantastic shape.
COVER: VG+ (8.0 of 10) 2" split on top opening. The rest of the seams are fragile, but not split. Spine is actually quite strong. Art is beautiful. There was a price tag at one time, top corner on front. The gloss on this cover is beautiful, oldschool, matte. .... it's actually quite amazing. Virtually no soiling at all. _________________________________________________________________ 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, standard solid state amplification to KLH 17 speakers. An accurate-sounding system if I say so myself.
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.
RETURNS: Generally a no go, unless you have a damn compelling reason. I 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.
