Here's a pretty great find. It's a solid album, and even feature Kenny Burrell -- early, great stuff. This copy is in very solid shape too -- don't miss this one, I rarely see this copy unless it's an OJC.

See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (8.5 of 10) OG Prestige press; deep groove; RVG stamp; Bergenfield address. It's in really, really great shape. There's maybe one scuff mark ... maybe a light paper scuff? It's overall fantastic. And let me tell ya, you can hear the voice in Hawkins' horn -- clipping at times. RVG must of had a time keeping him from that mic!
COVER: VG+ (9.0 of 10) Beautiful cover. A little aging -- that's it. Strong corners. Virtually no shelfwear at all, strong gloss ... it's beautiful.
_______ 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. 
RETURNS: Generally a no go, unless you have a damn 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 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

HEY ALL, ATTENTION: I auditioned the LP again, and I wanted everyone to be aware of what I observed: Side one seems to have a little more groove wear than side 2. Still plays and looks great, but I think there is a little more wear, or the pressing wasn't initially pressed as good on that side. Just wanted to get all my observations out there.
