Description
Early MONO press of this rarity. It's such a badass LP. Not super clean, but it plays with such a badass energy.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: Stronger VG- (5.7 of 10) Early MONO press; deep groove; RVG hand etch; 63rd address; Ear marks. I believe pressed the same year as the original, just with 63rd labels, not Lexington. Nice, heavy disc. There's some light hairlines, and lighter scuffing. You'll find some light pops or crackles through most of the disc, but it's pretty minimal in terms of listening. Side one is a straight VG. Side two is a bit noisier. There will be a light noise floor on both sides though. More obvious and pronounced when it's just Paul or Kenny playing. Nothing feelable. Overall OK.
COVER: Lower VG+ (7.0 of 10) Beautiful frame cover. No real splitting. Seam wear. Beautiful dull gloss and frame construction. There's a chip on front by "blue note." In general terms, the cover is pretty great. In general, I think it just holds some of that indescribable Blue Note mojo. ... I love finding stuff like this. _______ 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
