OG Copy here. And it's actually quite timely, I had no idea that this album had Winter Wonderland on it! ... actually every song is very tastefully done on this album, and it's an RVG copy, so that doesn't hurt either. See condition below.

See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG (7.5 of 10) Bergenfield label, Deep Groove mono press, RVG in runout -- an OG copy. Light scuffing and a few longer, light surface hairlines. Overall though, it plays beautifully. I really didn't hear much noise at all. Visually I'd say it's a very solid VG (VG+ to some for sure), but it plays a bit higher. I think I could grade it a low VG+, but I'll play it safe with a VG.
COVER: VG+ (7.5 of 10) So this copy, when I got it, had about 8" of splitting on the top seam, so I was prepared to give it a VG rating ... HOWEVER, I received some Seamzeasy strips today! And they are really cool ... the top seam is completely repaired (if you're unaware, google the product, it's great). As such I feel safe grading it VG+ with normal aging, wear, seam wear, and just a little chipping ...but overall it still looks great, spine is overall solid, art is beautiful, gloss is there, heavy cardboard ... it's pretty great. _________________________________________________________________ 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
