Description
Super amazing, fantastic sounding, early Rockabilly. It sounds absolutely stellar, and I NEVER find these old 50s LPs in this great of shape ... don't miss.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG+ (9.5 of 10) I believe this is a 2nd press? It's something really close to the first. It's a deep groove, and in amazing condition. It looks near-new. The only imperfections are the absolute lightest of paper scuffing -- amazing condition. Love this one. I have an all-tube system, and this sounds phenomenal.
COVER: VG+ (9.2 of 10) Again, looks near-new. Look at that gloss! Heavy cardboard. Only issue is 2" split top seam, middle, ut honestly I didn't even notice. All seams and spine are really tight. Even the original inner is in phenomenal shape. _______ 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; and I only assign 10 for sealed records. 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 6 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: Free 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 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
