Description
Super clean. Has a little storage wear, but that's it. Really no paper scuffing, no scratches, no whips, just a really clean copy. If you've been looking for a first MONO, this is sure it.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG+ (9.5 of 10) First pressing, MONO copy; VAN GELDER in runouts, NYC labels. Beautiful copy. As said above no scratches, whips, or really paper scuffing. I'd call it a little storage wear, but that's it. It plays rock solid.
COVER: VG+ (9.5 of 10) 43 W. 61st street address. Beautiful dull cover. A small amount of soiling on back and slightly rounded corners is all -- otherwise it's in fantastic shape. No splits, writing, etc ... Comes with original inner sleeve, in quite crispy shape still. _______ 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 AT MM cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 17 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: Free 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
