Description
You love it, I love it -- everybody friggin loves it. And here's an OG copy -- complete with mispelled "Adderly" and reversed tracklist for side 2 listed on the cover back. It's an OK copy -- finding these in phenomenal condition is a very difficult task, and makes for very deep pockets. This copy is OK overall.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG (6.0 of 10) Original 6-eye label press, deep groove, mono! Copy has scuffing and some light scratching. It plays through perfectly with some crackle. I'd say .... 15% crackle, and 85% music for the most part. The sound is amazing ... really amazing.
COVER: VG (6.0 of 10) Spine is good, art is pretty solid, back has a few issues clearly, but everything is pretty much there. Decent amount of seam wear, and I've repaired 3" on top opening and 4" on bottom with seamzeasy strips (google this product, it's amazing). _________________________________________________________________ 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.
RETURNS: Generally a no go, unless you have a damn 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 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
