Description

Man this album sings. It's RVG all the way; Loud. Heavy press vinyl, with all the Blue Note goodness provenance you're looking for. Not absolutely perfect, but it's for sure in the higher end of copies left.
See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (7.8/8 of 10) Deep Groove, Ear, 63rd address, RVG machine stamp. Fantastic condition. Does have some light paper scuffing, and maybe a dull mark here and there, but overall the sound is beautiful. It plays like a champ, and looks the VG+ part. I have no hesitations about the grading. The last photo is a pretty good representation of the light paper scuffs you'll find here and there. Look critically.
COVER: VG+ (7.5 of 10) Solid sleeve. NO SPLITS. Heavy cardboard. Some tearing on the back (pictured), and bumps on the corners, and some soiling on back. But the seams are all strong. Beautiful gloss. No other issues. _________________________________________________________________ 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, standard solid state amplification to KLH 17 speakers. An accurate-sounding system if I say so myself.
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. I 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.
