Description
Someone put a Stereo sticker on this one, but it's a mono, per labels and jacket (no Stereo text printed on it). Not to mention, it's a VERY energetic session, and loud.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: Strong VG (7.0 of 10) VAN GEDLER in runouts; NYC labels. Side 1 is VG+ all day long. Side 2 has one dull mark or two that causes very light ticking. Not constant, but on and off. Overall, it's a strong play, though. The disc also has some very light paper scuffing. Decent sheen. COVER: VG (6.5 of 10) 1" split bottom opening, otherwise weaker seams, but that's it for splitting. Old (incorrect) stereo sticker, and some overall aging. Slight bow. Comes with original inner sleeve. Overall, it's a fairly solid copy, all things considered. _______ 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, but not the whole album. I've listened to passages of records I sell. I do NOT listen to the entire album. I DO play passages, testing for any clear distortion, groove wear, crackles, pops, etc. But no, the entire LP is not played through it's entirety. I play on a Lenco L70, via AT MM cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to Klipsch speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: Free 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
