Description
Well after many years doing auctions on eBay, I've finally decided to let some of my high end vinyl go. Don't miss out, I'm posting a handful of jazz gold. Right here is one of my grails; achieved, owned and loved for a few years, and now I'm passing it on to the next jazz freak. Great copy; second press. Not perfect, but damn is it nice. You won't be disappointed.

Vinyl: (VG+ (8.2 of 10): Very well preserved. High gloss still. There are some surface scuffs only if you look at angles. Overall, there is nothing to detract from the sound. No skips. No distortion. No hiss. It's loud, in your face, and a great example of this giant album.
Cover: VG+ (8.2 of 10): Again amazing. Very high gloss all intact, as can be seen. Some age and a small rip on top back, but that's really all. All seams are strong, gloss is full, deep colors, crisp corners, and it's the great heavy cardboard for the day.
VINYL WEIGHT: 175-180g
Additional Notes: Second press; Deep Groove, RVG stamp; Ear stamp; You won't be disappointed. _____________________________________________________________________
Regarding Grading: I always use the standard G-VG+ scale. I, however, absolutely never use the word "mint" because I don't believe I've ever found a mint record -- even sealed ones. The highest I go is VG+. I use a number system to get a bit more specific.
The number: my number system gets a bit more granular. For the record, it's meant to reflect more the audio quality and overall aesthetic. For the cover, it reflects overall preservation, gloss, and damage, if there is any.
A few notes about quality, purchasing, and shipping:
* I always vacuum clean my records. They've all gone through a three step solution process with a vacuum cleaning machine I built.
** All records are shipped in record boxes.
*** All records are shipped with a plastic sleeve, and the records will be shipped OUTSIDE the cover.
Shipping is a standard $4 domestic, and by weight international ... so CHECK YOU INTERNATIONAL PEOPLE. Shipping is expensive these days -- don't shoot the messenger.
