Description
Super hard to find these Garland pressings clean -- really, really hard. And you need them clean because it's pretty soft music -- quiet trio music. It's like Bill Evans' stuff -- you need a clean copy. And this one is clean, so don't miss it.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG+ (8.5 of 10) OG Deep groove, Mono press; RVG hand etched, Flat Edge pressing, 50th address; a true OG copy. And it's solidly clean. Side A has two dull lines (photographed, not deep) -- it plays pretty stellar though. Otherwise, maybe a paper scuff here or there. Nothing annoying at all. A pop maybe here or there, but not constant. Very clean sounding. Not a top copy, but pretty close to it.
COVER: VG+ (8.0 of 10) Really solid shape as well. There is about 3" split bottom middle seam (pretty common), and maybe .5" top right corner. But overall, it's holding together great. Solid spine, and really not much shelf wear, and beautiful gloss. Back has a little age, but still pretty great. Overall it's a very solid example.
_______ 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: FREE 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.
NOTE: International shipments are crawling because of COVID. If you're an international purchaser, be prepared to have extended wait times to get the record.
RETURNS: Generally a no go, unless you have a 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 try to 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
