- LUCKY LUCY ANN

MODE RECORDS  MODE LP-115

Original pressing

Lucy with a great LA session sextet, including Marty Paich and Mel Lewis

Vinyl - Very Good Plus   has a moderate amount of superficial sleeve and hairline marks, none of which affect tracking. The plating gloss is terrific looking and the labels are in great shape (see photos).

Has been professionally deep cleaned and is ready for the turntable.

As sound is concerned, Play grades at Very Good Plus. This was pressed out in Hollywood in 1957 and Mode Records were not using quality vinyl. There is surface noise, but not excessively so. Probably surface noise, 10 being perfect, this is about a 6 ½, in my judgement.

Jacket - Very Good Plus / Excellent  the front cover has a nice laminate finish still glossy with light shelfwear.

Back cover also has modest shelfwear, a laceration and on the upper corner next to the album envelope opening a small tear possibly from a sticker removed. All solid seams and spine.

BREAKING NEWS!

New Lower Shipping Rates – in spite of recent USPS increases! Standard Media Mail Shipping for 1 LP is now just $3.85, doubles $3.95 - and each extra single LP that you win in the same auction cycle is just .50 additional up to 12 LPs total!

Things I'd like you to know:

Low starting prices don't = low quality! The minimum grade vinyl I list is VG+ / NM- to NM or M-

Exceptions to the general grade category of the LP and Cover are specifically noted in the description in detail. Mint, of course, is Mint period, without qualification.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS – WE WELCOME YOU

Email me (through 'Contact Seller') and I will quote shipping for you. Obviously, I have no way of tracking or confirming delivery to your residence – but I will be happy to provide the Customs ID number.

Friendly Seller:

I'm not paranoid, I don't have a chip on my shoulder, I don't jump to conclusions or have a defensive attitude about buyers ( I still am one ), and I don't breathe down buyers' necks for payment. If you need an invoice – let me know - I'll be happy to prepare one, but other than that – if you want to continue shopping and combine auction wins, please just drop me a quick note. Bottom line – hassle free shopping.

SHIPPING NOTES:

Green Shipping To conserve energy and provide fast shipment, I take purchases to the Post Office at least three times a week – sometimes 4 times. This way you will never have more than a 24 / 48 hour gap between payment and shipping.

All orders packed in LP Shipment grade mailing boxes.  I don't construct my own - these are legit and virtually Post Office proof.  The inside of the mailer is safely reinforced with recycled cardboard and / or Bubble wrap or Poly padding.

SPECIAL NOTE: Until further notice, I have a small number of sturdy mailing boxes that will accommodate 10 -12 LP's – so if you want to save a bundle on shipping and would like to combine several auction wins – please be my guest.

Because I ALWAYS provide delivery confirmation to you FREE of charge, you can track it. Having said that – now and then, USPS Media Mail is going to be slower now because of the cutbacks - so, I will gladly, per your request, provide Priority shipping as an option at a similarly reasonable cost.

If you know you'll want Priority, please kindly alert me before you pay for the item.

I'll combine shipping:

Each additional LP up to 12 total, will be just .50 cents extra.

I'll be listing many more in a diverse range of musical styles in coming weeks, so bookmark a listing and check back in.
