OK, I get it. You want a 6-eye pressing. But hear me out: These sound phenomenal ... like really, really good. I know they don't have the allure that 6-eyes have, but I'm tellin ya -- I've heard many of these where I really can' tell a difference ... and this copy is beautiful ... just sayin' ... 

See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (9.0 of 10) Stereo copy. And I searched really, really hard only to come up with one extremely light, like barely grazing the surface, scratch, and maybe some very light paper scuffs. It's a top condition vinyl, and these copies are ridiculously good sounding ... I mean ... I own several of these '70s copies, and go to them way more than my mofi (45 rpm EH), or my 6-eye ... 
COVER: High VG+ (8.5 of 10) A little light wear. That's it. Overall very solid. Light curve to the cardboard. _________________________________________________________________ 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, ST-70 tube amplification to KLH 17 speakers. A tubey system indeed!
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, I'm also an adult, and I understand there are situations, so I mean ... just talk to me if you want to return something and I'm sure we can work something out. But 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. But please ASK QUESTIONS WHEN IN DOUBT. I promise, we can make this an easy transaction.
