Description
This is a no reserve auction.
The vinyl was purchased on release date and played. I'd say the condition is fair to good, but not excellent. This was a "for listening" record. Judge the condition yourself. You can see the hand etched notes in the vinyl pressing.
The Jacket has a crumple in the lower left corner (the lower center when opened) That's the way I bought it. All the copies in the store had this defect.
The original sleeves were water damaged and discarded. I replaced them with VRP anti-static sleeves. They're better for long term storage anyway.
I've cleaned this annually with a Nitty Gritty vacuum record cleaner. I can give it another pass immediately before shipping at your request.
I've disclosed the faults. But please don't let that deter you from bidding on this rare tool vinyl. I'm sure the bidding will end at a small fraction of a new sealed copy.
Media Mail shipping is $4.00
For those unfamiliar with the nitty gritty vacuum record cleaning machine, here is a review...http://www.soundstage.com/vinyl/vinyl031999.htm.
One will wet scrub the vinyl with cleaning agents and a soft brush, then the machine vacuums the cleaning agent (and any gunk it's picked up) right out of the grooves. It's pretty cool and 1000% better than something like the discwasher series of cleaners.
I should also add that I'm a record collector and audiophile. This was NOT played on some cheap turntable with a worn cartridge. Most of it's playtime was under the stylus of a high quality benz-micro cartridge.
