Description

I'll be selling a few doubles from my collection this week, all records were bought and lovingly cared for until the moment their more desirable siblings showed up. Now I am making thm available to you.
I grade by strict Goldmine standards, I don't believe grades like G++++ or VG++++ exist, nor do I grade any of these records NM-.. I'm conservative and hoest with my grading. If you disagree we can always work something out.
For the sake of clarification, here are the grades.

  • Mint (M)   Absolutely perfect in every way. 
  • Near Mint (NM or M-)   A nearly perfect record. 

  • Very Good Plus (VG+)  A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. 

  • Very Good (VG)   Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. 

  • Good (G), Good Plus (G+)  Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). 

  • Poor (P), Fair (F)   The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. 
That having been said, here are the details.
The record is Red Garland's High Pressure, this session features John Coltrane, Donald Byrd, and Art Taylor.
The pressing is a yellow label New Jersey mono pressing and is in VG/VG- shape. The album plays through fine, however there are minor scuffs and scratches and a small warp at the beginning of each side. Again, the album plays through, but the warm creates a hissing sound for the first half minute or so. The cover is VG-/G+, the cover graphics are nice however there is noticeable peeling of the lamination, as well as tape residue on the top where the seam is splitting.
Overall this is a good record, it isn't an archive copy by any means, but will fill out the collection nicely until a better copy comes along.
Italian bidders, you will need to pay for tracking of some sort if you want me to even consider shipping this to your country.
Sorry.
Thanks for looking and be sure to check out my other auctions this week.
