Herbie Hancock Blue Note LP: Inventions and Dimensions, VG, Stereo, NY USA, EAR

$

50

I removed the best offer from this listing, I did drop the price over one hundred dollars, I am pretty firm on this listed price.


Inventions and Dimensions Blue Note LP Stereo. "EAR" or a.k.a. Plastylite p IN Dead wax, VAN GELDER also in dead wax.

Vinyl: VG, Plays very well for VG, light surface noise for sure, static and some ticks. 2 light pops a few minutes into track one, that was really it as negative. These ear NY USA pressings sound pretty good, with loud present music.

Generic inner sleeve, presumably not original, OK shape.

Important note: If you happen to be a new collector, you may not be familiar with VG, VG+, and Near Mint grading. There is a Grand Canyon wide gap between VG and Near Mint, if you are a real stickler against surface noise of the static variety, I would stick to sealed or Near Mint Records VG+ might even be an issue for you.

 The price of this record is far less than what a Near mint copy would be of course. My main concern is that a buyer knows what they are buying as to head off any possible issues later on, returns are accepted though, but on this record I will not refund return shipping costs, as I have pretty well described the sonic nature of it clearly.

Cover: VG Minus, but not trashed for a bargain hunter, age wear, seam and spine wear, tape job too

This item will be insured at my cost.

Please Read regarding Covers:
 I provide many photos for you to look at, these photos should serve as the final word on the condition of a cover, I typically use VERY GOOD (VG) as a template grade here on eBay, I try not to list anything below VG- Minus, but sometimes one could slip through. Meaning I didn't make specific mention on the minus grade or less on a particular cover. Generally covers will be VG or better but never listed as above VG. This fact is also considered in how cheaply I price the vinyl I sell. Look at photos please, don't forget Zoom feature.

Expect these possibilities on covers:
Ring wear, light splits, writing, spine wear, punch holes, tape jobs, cut outs, promo and or record store ink stamps, price stickers, and or price sticker residue.  An assigned grade is just my opinion, and is of course  subjective and always open for debate, so look at photos please.

The above also goes for pressing identification and label condition. (expect spindle marks) Ask questions before a purchase about anything that is not shown in the photos or description.

Expect inner paper sleeves to have record rub splits, half splits, full splits, tears or crumples. They may not be original at all. 99% of the time they won't be trashed, ask, if paper inner sleeve originality or condition is important.

My Vinyl Playing Surface Grading Guideline:
Grading is subjective, please understand VG and VG+ are playable records, but some surface noise and age wear should be expected. If any noise or previous shelf wear on covers is a problem, you may want to consider Near Mint or Sealed reissues in stead of bargain priced vintage vinyl.

If a record I list says VG or VG+, expect it to be a good playing copy. On visual graded records, please understand that it is riskier, as I didn't test it for playback defects. Bottom line, I won't sell scratched up unplayable junk. I am a small one man operation, so I don't have a huge amount inventory, so I can pay closer attention to what I list. Check my feedback.

MINT:  Only a sealed record will I list with this grade. Truth is: How would you even know what the vinyl looked like, so even that might not be mint.

NEAR MINT:  Almost perfect, a sleeve scuff or two per side only. (I don't think I have ever used this Grade)

VG+:  No marks you can feel, but multiple light marks and scuffs per side some luster loss, still a very good  play copy. 

VG to VG+: This grade is that in between grade, just one or 2 marks too many for the plus grade, looks better than VG. but might cause disagreement if graded VG+, the luster will still be near the same as VG+.

VG:    Still no deep marks, but moderate marks and scuffs, much more loss of luster, very playable. You know by looking at it it will have more noise and static.

VG MINUS:    Moderate marks and moderate other marks and scuffs, some deep marks even, very little luster left, this type will be a more of a gamble.

GOOD:  Worse than VG- and I would only list one if of extreme rarity, and usually dirt cheap.

RECORD COVER GRADING: Generally VG or better, unless mentioned as lesser.
See above, and please look at photos.

If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact me through the eBay system, I always respond as soon as I see the message.


Attention, Please Read Regarding Specific Vinyl Record Pressings or Sonic Quality of Said Pressing:
Please understand that exact pressings and years of release on current reissues may not be known for sure, so please understand that reissue just means not an original pressing, beyond that, you must do the home work yourself if it's important.

The bottom line is this, don't buy anything if you have questions that are not answered in the listing. I will not misrepresent anything knowingly, but you should NOT ever assume anything that is not specifically mentioned in the listing, that includes who did the mastering of said pressing.

Please look at photos, and come to your own conclusions about the record in question.
