Description
And this thing is beautiful except ONE scratch on side 2, track 2 ... and honestly, it can't be heard all that much. BUT, there will be some light ticking, most likely, though it was quite minimal on my system. ... But I really think this copy should be considered more closely:
See below for more detail:
VINYL: Lower VG+ based on one scratch (7.5 of 10) Original mono, Deep Groove, Mono, OG blue labels. It's a great press. And this would be really, really close to top condition if it wasn't for one scratch, side 2, track 2 (pictured). It's deep enough to feel lightly, and ticks lightly on and off ... Other than that, you're looking at a few dull marks and paper scuffs. ... it still plays very solidly. I still give it a VG+, but feel free to ask for more descriptive photos if you wish.
COVER: VG+ (7.5 of 10) Overall solid shape. No seam splits, but there's quite a bit of seam wear. Clear handling and again on the cover. But the art is overall good, spine mostly good, and back is still pretty clean. _________________________________________________________________ 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, ST-70 tube amplification to KLH 17 speakers. A tubey system indeed!
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, I'm also an adult, and I understand there are situations, so I mean ... just talk to me if you want to return something and I'm sure we can work something out. But I 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. But please ASK QUESTIONS WHEN IN DOUBT. I promise, we can make this an easy transaction.
