Description

Monk at the top of his game, IMO. Amazing album. And here's a mono copy. Interesting pressing, it's a mid-60s press, and I'm pretty sure it's a transitional copy to Orpheum (notice listing of RM 12-312, and not RLP) ... anyway this is a top copy in beautiful condition.

See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (9.5 of 10) Mono copy, OG blue label. 3-26-65 is lightly etched in runout, which is why I'm assuming it's mid-60s. The pressing resembles an Orpheum, and the label indicates RM 12-312, and not RLP, which is clearly a different cataloging style. In any case, it's in virtually unplayed state. It looks new. 
COVER: VG+ (9.0 of 10) Only issue I can find is there's a very light curve to it. Otherwise it's top. Very, very good copy overall. _______ 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 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
