Description
Prestige 7062, "Two Trumpets" with Donald Byrd, Art Farmer, Jackie McLean, Doug Watkins, Barry Harris, Art Taylor. Original W. 50th St. label vinyl is shiny and looks VG+ with several definite needle marks, but the LP plays mostly free of background noise; this may be partly because the marks are found mostly on outer tracks "The Third", "Contour", and "Dig". where the music is more turbulent and any ticks are missed. The solo inner tracks "Round Midnight" and "When Your Lover Has Gone" qualify as NM. At any rate, the LP plays beautifully. The LP is in the original plastic sleeve. The heavy laminated jacket with squared-off spine has mostly solid upper and lower seams with fairly heavy corner wear; part of the spine has some almost invisible tape attached; jacket back is basically clean with an inspection stamp. Shipping is $4.00 media mail, $7.00 priority mail in the continental U.S.; $15.00 airmail for Europe, Australia, Japan, and Korea; elsewhere inquire. Insured priority shipping required for Italy and Brazil. Additional LPs in one package are $1.00 per extra LP in the U.S. and Canada, $3.00 per extra LP overseas. I dislike low-quality packaging as much as any other eBayer does. Individual records will be shipped in special, handcrafted mailers unlike the usual type in three ways: (1) They are significantly larger all around and padded around the edges to prevent corner bumps to the jacket; (2) they are padded on both sides of the record with styro sheets or thick cardboard sheets to prevent damage to the record surface; (3) they are constructed of heavier-duty cardboard than normal mailers to provide further protection. All used LPs are shipped with record securely inside an inner sleeve but outside the jacket to prevent seam splitting in transit; our innovative padded packaging will also prevent seam splitting for new, sealed LPs. The end product is designed to withstand a drop from a second-story window with no damage (though I will not test it with your package). No record should arrive in a condition worse than described! Multiple LPs are shipped in BagsUnlimited pizza-style boxes that are larger around than LPs and will also be well padded. All used LPs are play-graded from start to finish on a VPI turntable with Audioquest tonearm.
