Description

Yeah ... holy buckets. It's a Lexington press. And the vinyl is pretty clean. The cover, not so much, but the vinyl is pretty solid ... don't miss.

See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (7.7 of 10) OG Mono press, Lexington address, RVG hand etch in runout, Ear marks. OG Platylite press. It's pretty clean. There's a little very light sleeve scuffing (pictures are great representation), and a duff scuff or two, but it plays fantastic. I heard some light pops at the very beginning for a few rotations, but otherwise it's loud, and sounds amazing ... like really, really good. Man, this music is killer also.
COVER: G+ (5.0 of 10) Here's where it's not as rosey, but it does present OK I think. The bottom seam was completely split and it's completely mended with a Seamzeazy strip (google, they're great). There's heavy seamwear, 3" split top opening, and the corners have a little splitting. There's clear aging to the cover as well -- but generally, it's just that the seams are barely holding together. Otherwise, you can read all the liner notes, the art is decent with age, and it still presents well enough. It has that beautiful, dull original gloss.  _______ 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, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 17 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
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. 
NOTE: Due to the pandemic, I am temporarily suspending international shippments. Once international Post catches up, I begin again.
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
