          McCOY TYNER          TENDER MOMENTS          Blue Note  BST 84275
Up for auction is a 1973 Blue Note stereo pressing of McCoy Tyner's stellar 2nd session as leader for Blue Note (1968), "Tender Moments". Tyner did a 180 from his first (quartet) release for Blue Note, using a 9-man ensemble for his second release. The results are outstanding, with Lee Morgan providing some amazing solos, especially on "Lee Plus Three". Essential late 60s big band bop.
  DEAD WAX INFO:  Side 1 has BNST-84275-A  all etched into the dead wax, and VAN GELDER stamped into the dead wax. Side 2 has BNST-84275-B  all etched into the dead wax (this pressing never had VAN GELDER stamped into the dead wax of Side 2).     VINYL VISUAL: VG+ and close to NM with some slight loss of gloss and a bit of rash here and there. Labels show VERY sparse play.
VINYL PLAY GRADE: NM at best with GREAT fidelity and an extremely low noise level. Plays close to as new. Tough to beat as far as 1973 pressings go.    
COVER VISUAL: VG+ at best with the general wear that these Liberty covers are prone to. Shows really nice, actually. 
Comes with OG poly-lined Blue Note printed die-cut paper inner. I have lined this with an Audiophile style rice plastic inner.    DETAILS ON SELLER AND SHIPPING 
HELLO ALL. My name is Jamie, and I have been collecting records steadily for over 45 years.  After a bit of a respite from selling on Ebay, I am back and will be selling a ton of stuff over the next few years. My tastes run all over the map, so there will be something for everyone. All opened items will be visually AND aurally graded. All Dead Wax info will be listed. Play grade is done on a Thorens TD 165 through Yamaha amplification and JBL reference headphones (treble set high so there will be no surprises when you get the item). 
ALL ITEMS WILL BE SHIPPED WITH PROPER MAILERS AND EXTRA PADDING, PARTICULARLY AT THE CORNERS. I HAVE MADE FAR TOO MANY PURCHASES ON EBAY WHERE THE ITEM HAS ARRIVED WITH DINGED CORNERS DUE TO INADEQUATE PACKAGING MATERIAL. BY USING FOLDED BUBBLE WRAP IN ALL FOUR CORNERS, YOU CAN BE ASSURED OF AN ITEM WITHOUT DINGED CORNERS (OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND FOR THAT MATTER).             Non-tracked shipping throughout the U.S.A will be $13 CANADIAN per item, as will tracked shipping within Canada. Tracked shipping to the U.S.A. will be $16 CANADIAN for items under 500g, and slightly more for items over 500g. Most single sleeve items can be shipped as under 500g. Gatefolds and multi-sets will be over 500g. 
Being a reasonable person, I will be absorbing ALL of the shipping material cost, and some of the actual postage cost.
If you have issue with an item, PLEASE work with me to achieve an outcome that will be to your satisfaction. I do offer full refunds (excluding cost to get it back to me), on any item that is not satisfactory.       SINCE SHIPPING OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA IS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE (Thank You Canada Post), I will rarely list gatefolds or multi-items for sale overseas. IF ANYONE OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA IS CRAZY INTERESTED IN ANY ITEM, I WILL QUOTE SHIPPING ON REQUEST. Since a lot of the stuff that I will be selling is of higher end quality, rarely will things be offered overseas. Sorry folks. Again, I can consider requests on an item-by-item basis. THANKS FOR READING, everyone.       Occasionally I will be selling rare and collectible CDs. Shipping obviously will be much less, around $5 CANADIAN within North America.
