Donald Byrd Byrd Jazz – Transition TRLP5 SAM Records Artisan – Super Rare LP

$

500

Hello,

I am a serious audiophile that has much to many records and am selling the majority of my collection.  It includes Rock, Jazz, Folk and Classical music, but I now lack the space to maintain such a huge library of albums.  So my loss is your gain!

I have a perfect 100% feedback rating so you can purchase with confidence.

What more can be said about the stupendous super limited edition first SAM Records Artisan Series LP!! If you are looking at this, you know what a special record this is! Hand-made and sonically wonderful. Only 300 were made. This is Serial #102. SEALED!!! The record went out of print almost immediately after it was released. Truly a collectable that also sounds incredible!!! A record that belongs in everyone’s collection! Unfortunately few will have the opportunity to own it.  Here is your chance!!!  It will test the limits of your system! 

Vinyl Grade:   Sealed - M

Cover Grade:  Sealed - M

You will love this record!!

Grading

Unless otherwise noted, records are visually graded. 

Instead of providing a combined rating for the vinyl and cover, I think it is better to grade them separately. 

Vinyl: 

Mint: A brand new, SEALED record; never played. 

NM: The vinyl looks as good as if you had just opened the seal on the record. This is the best grade that should be given to any unsealed record. 

NM-: This record is NM but has some very, very minor signs that it has been played, such as slight spindle marks and one or two very superficial marks. Should play without surface noise.  

VG++: Excellent. Has several light cosmetic flaws, blemishes, or scuffs that may begin affect the sound minimally. You should only hear only a few soft ticks, if any. 

VG+: More pronounced cosmetic surface marks; light scratches that will result in more surface noise or short soft ticks should not overwhelm the sound. 

VG: Cosmetically, appear to have more scratches, more pronounced than you would find in my VG+ records. These are still fine for general listening.

Covers: 

M: sealed and pristine. 

NM: Unsealed, may have the original shrink wrap, and no marks or wear. 

NM-: Minor signs of wear, including small hairline creases, slight edge wear and tiny corner dings. 

VG++: Larger creases, barely noticeable ring outline (not worn), and modest wear and corner dings. 

VG+: Deeper creases and corner wear, more pronounced ring marks (wearing becomes noticeable), small seam splits, slight writing, or sticker residue. 

VG: Larger writing on the cover, ring wear, creases, seam splits, clear tape on the cover, and other marks that are significant and detract from, but do not yet overwhelm the cover. 

Good: The cover is significantly worn. 

Refund Policy

To be very clear -- because this is a very special factory sealed record and there will be ABSOLUTELY NO RETURN. It is sold "as is" and cannot be guaranteed against defects of any kind once opened. I am not responsible for any defect that may have occurred during the manufacturing process. If you have any questions please ask before bidding. 

Shipping

Shipping is by USPS Media Mail at $10.00. 

I will use a cardboard box specially designed for LPs, however I am not responsible for any damages that occur during shipping.  Again, if you have any questions please ask before bidding.
