So for some reason, Impulse pressings confuse me. This one is a "Bell Sound" copy, with, if I'm not mistaken, was a cut that was meant for record clubs, but it's not a Capitol pressed one? I believe this one is the RVG copy, but the  difference is this one has fade outs? .... to be honest, I'm not 100% certain, and this is me guessing ... but I'm here to report it's a top vinyl, and very much sounds amazing.
See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (9.5 of 10) Original Impulse label, "Bell Sound" runout stamp, stereo copy. It's in top condition. ... it's nearly flawless ... maybe one or two miniscule, very light scratches ... I don't even see paper scuffing. While I'm not positive on the provenance of this pressing, I can tell you that it's a bit lighter than most original Impulse I've handled.
COVER: VG+ (7.5 of 10) Beautiful cover. High gloss. Some is peeling slightly on back opening. Corners are pretty sharp -- no splitting, strong spine. Again, I'm not sure on the provenance of the pressing, but the cardboard seems slightly lighter. _________________________________________________________________ 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
