Red Rodney, Red Rodney 1957, Signal S-1206, mono deep groove. Year of release is 1957. This is an auction for an ultra rare copy of Red Rodney's most sought after LP on the obscure New York City Signal label. Personnel includes Red Rodney on trumpet, Ira Sullivan on tenor sax and trumpet, Tommy Flanagan on piano, Oscar Pettiford on bass, and Elvin Jones on drums. Philly Joe Jones is mistakenly listed on the cover and on the label of Side 1. Tracks include Star Eyes, You Better Go Now, Stella By Starlight, Red Arrow, Box 2000, and Ubas. The record visually grades as a strong VG+ with strict Goldmine standards applied. There is one noticeable light scratch of one inch length that cannot be felt or heard. The record play grades a solid VG+. Most original luster remains. The jacket grades as a nice VG+. again with strict Goldmine standards applied. The front cover is nicely laminated with very little spotting. The back cover has moderate wear and discoloration. Most of the ink is quite solid. There is a slight seam split in the center of the bottom edge. The spine is cleanly split through the bottom half. There are no jags since the inner cardboard can be viewed. The only print missing is the word "Signal" with no numbers. The jacket nevertheless has sturdy integrity. This is a very rare album in this condition even though it is not mint. There is a modest reserve. The record was play graded on an audiophile system employing Basis Ovation, Graham Industries, Transfiguration, Sound Applications, and Jeff Rowland electronics. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE VIEW AND READ FEEDBACK COMMENTS ON MY GRADING! Satisfaction is guaranteed on a money back basis with postage BOTH ways. I have never had a negative feedback or unresolved complaint, and I have had only two returned items from all eBay transactions since January 1998. Domestic buyer assumes responsibility for $8.00 charge for insured media mail with a delivery confirmation. Insurance and delivery confirmations are required for all domestic shipments. Payments made with these charges subtracted will not be accepted. Only professional packaging materials are used for shipping, and all items are shipped securely and with filler pads; yet, you will not risk damage to the contents because the packaging is too difficult to undo. My packages are easy to open once you start the process, and you will not need a butcher knife or terrorist box cutter to do it with! Virtually all online payment services are available. Due to increases in fraudulent PayPal transactions and resultant chargebacks, items paid for through PayPal will be shipped to confirmed addresses only. I generally always ship on the date I receive cleared funds or within one day thereafter. Personal checks require a hold of ten business days for clearance. All domestic sales must be paid for within seven days of an auction's end. If you do not pay online, and your mail service as a sender is slow, don't bother bidding!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOR BIDDERS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES: Uninsured Airmail Letter Post is used for international shipping due to its popularity. Rates are as follows: Canada $8.00; Mexico $10.00; Europe $15.00; Asia, Australia, Africa, and South America $16.00. Due to the high cost of related shipping, satisfaction is guaranteed on a money back basis exclusive of shipping costs. No guarantees can be made for safe delivery, or delivery at all for that matter, for international shipments that are not sent by registered or insured mail. If you would like registered or insured mail, please e-mail me for rates. The charges stated for international transactions include the fee for a Certificate of Mailing, which is validated and canceled by the United States Postal Service and provides proof that I have mailed an article to you. Also included is a modest charge to cover the additional time and energy required for international transactions, such as correspondence, customs declarations, translations, etc. Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Italian are spoken. Shipping rates are not negotiable! I do not enjoy paying them any more than you do. Please consider when you bid that your shipping costs are part of your total purchase price. Surface mail outside the United States will not be considered. I do not want your record dragged along the ocean floor! Feedback on eBay can only be posted for 90 days. Transactions that involve surface mail have insufficient time during which problems can be resolved that might influence feedback either way. Cash (currency) is acceptable for international transactions but must be sent by registered mail unless otherwise mutually agreed upon. Virtually all online payment services are available. BidPay, now with lower rates, or international money orders are strongly recommended as means for payment. PayPal will be considered if a winning bidder is able to provide satisfaction that a PayPal payment is totally bona fide. Kindly bid assuming that PayPal will not be possible and do not be offended if a request to use PayPal is not granted. This policy provides protection for users as well but only in the sense of someone else's attempting to steal a user's identity. Recent chargebacks due to fraudulent transactions and the lack of any seller protection by PayPal with regard to international transactions has made such a policy necessary. I generally always ship on the date I receive cleared funds or within one day thereafter. All international sales must be paid for within fourteen days of an auction's end. No exceptions!
