NOTE: I'll allow Ebay overseas shipping program only for international orders. I ship to a distribution location, and they handle from there -- and I believe it's fairly expensive. So check before hand.

OK vinyl freaks -- this is either a first or second press, allegedly. And I'm not 100% which ... in either case, I believe it's from the same year as the release -- 1957. I'll let the buyer decide if it's a true first or not. Vinyl is in great shape though.

See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (8.7 of 10) First (or second) mono pressing Capitol jazz. Scranton icon in runout. Vinyl is in fantastic shape. A few super duper light "whisp" marks ... and that's really about it. One really light scuff mark on side 1 ... play is fantastic with a super light crackle just every now and then. Fantastic gloss on the record, with very little wear.
COVER: VG (6.5 of 10) Cover presents very well, but there's top seam splitting. Essentially everything but 3" in the middle, top seam ... strange wear indeed. Otherwise there's a little chipping on the spine. But other than that, art looks fine, liner notes are fine, and normal age to it. _______ 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, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 17 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
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. 
NOTE: Due to the pandemic, I'll be shipping via eBay international shipping program only.
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
