$

131

on the prestige records label, catalog # PRLP 7079, original deep groove mono pressing, has 'RVG' etched in trail off, from 1957.   5 tracks.   personnel includes:   sonny rollins on tenor sax;  tommy flanagan on piano;  doug watkins on bass & max roach on drums.   easily one of the best jazz records of all time....a classic.   check my other auctions for many, many more great jazz lp's, buy a bunch & save on shipping. 


laminated cover is sadly in G condition, with a myriad of problems......bottom seam split all the way across, top seam split 9", numerous pieces of tape, heavy corner wear, some writing, spine chipping, etc......see photos.   i would like to apologize for the blurry photo of the front of the cover.....i am not much of a photographer.  vinyl looks VG-, with numerous light paper scuffs, and numerous marks as well, plays better than it looks, with some background noise & the occasional pops & clicks.  

while i take returns on nearly all of the vinyl i sell, i will not take returns on this one, as different record players will produce different levels of background noise.   i have play graded this on only one turntable & i cannot account for how your table will play this one.

all vinyl has been cleaned on a VPI.

please check my other auctions this week for more jazz records, this week features some of the best jazz records i've ever offered, many appear as new & rarely turn up in this pristine condition.......combine items & save on shipping.   please note:   i strongly encourage winning more than one item.....so much so, in fact, that i will ship the second item FREE, no increase for two records.    after two records, shipping price will be quoted.


now, for the boring stuff....but PLEASE, it's required reading:


while i strive to keep my ebay sales fun and hassle free, i do have a couple rules, due to some unfortunate activity from my previous rounds of auctions:    both ITALY & FRANCE customers must pay REGISTERED AIRMAIL shipping, regardless of the final value of the item(s)......no EXCEPTIONS!   shipping prices are quoted below.   also, i do not accept bids from those of you with zero feedback.  sorry, no exceptions.  thanks in advance for your understanding.  as always, i will not end auctions early, please don't even bother to ask.

i cannot be held responsible for any damages that occur during shipping.   i pack my items in dedicated record mailers, with cardboard inserts on BOTH sides of record, with the record outside of cover to prevent seam splits.   i've been shipping records in this fashion for over ten years now.....i know what i'm doing.   please inquire about insurance, as that is the only way to protect yourself from damage caused by the post office.

quick note to future buyers:   if you have a question, please ask it BEFORE you buy the record, don't assume details without confirming with me, it will save us both the headaches.   also, for those of you overseas.......tracking for an item shipped overseas is NOT a cheap option, it starts at about $40.00 for an lp.   if you are willing to pay that, great.   if not, don't assume that there is an affordable way for me to do that, or that it's an option with regular first class mail....because it isn't.   if you need to see the package through from my house to your house, the cost starts at $40.00 to certain destinations, and goes up from there.   a very secure way of shipping, but not trackable, is registered mail.   that being said.......

ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS, PLEASE NOTE ANOTHER NEW POLICY:   any item or combination of items that goes for over $100.00 must ship with registered mail, at an additional cost of $11.50.   THIS IS REQUIRED, I'VE HAD A COUPLE EXPENSIVE RECORDS DISAPPEAR THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN, to countries that i wouldn't expect to lose something to.   i cannot be held responsible for items that are lost in the mail.  

all records are original pressings unless noted......i do not sell current reissues.  please ask any questions early, as i am not always by my computer near the end of auctions.    buyer pays shipping, see rates below.   all records are shipped in dedicated record mailers, with record shipped outside of cover when applicable, with two cardboard inserts.   paypal is the only accepted form of payment at this time.


i do not like to use media rate, or first class domestic either....both take far too long, and items have sometimes gone missing as well.   if you absolutely have to save $3.00 on shipping, then that is what you'll get, media rate for $4.00, including delivery confirmation....to me, as a seller (and a buyer, for that matter) it takes too long, and i end up with too many questions ( 'where is my record?'   'when did you ship it?'  etc, etc).   i strongly urge you to use priority......you can avoid a heavy box of books being placed on your fragile record, and you'll get it so much faster.    i prefer you use priority shipping within the US, and the cost is $8.00, including delivery confirmation.   first class airmail shipping to CANADA is $8.00.   first class airmail shipping to MOST OF EUROPE, JAPAN & AUSTRALIA is $15.00.   registered airmail shipping is $25.00 worldwide, and is required on all shipments to both ITALY and FRANCE, and after package value reaches $100.00 or more.   I DO NOT SHIP to SOUTH AMERICA, MEXICO, or ISRAEL at this time, NO EXCEPTIONS.   i will gladly combine items to save on shipping, i try not to make ANY money on shipping costs, i typically lose money honestly, especially now that ebay takes a cut of it......thanks, ebay.   payment is expected within 7 days of auction end.   thanks for looking, and good luck.
