STAN GETZ MORE WEST COAST JAZZ Norgran MGN 1088. Mono

PLAY-GRADED SELECTIVELY WITH HEADPHONES. AMBIENT LISTENING SHOULD BE BETTER.

(Please consult my proprietary grading system below 

for accurate understanding of LP condition)

DISK: NM

VISUAL: Beautiful shine and luster. Only 2-3 short, pure-surface sleeve hairs per side. Nothing deep, noticeable or feelable. Zero lateral movement of cartridge during rotation. No skips or other issues. Great fidelity, directness and warmth of Stan' tenor sax. No heat damage or warping.

Play-TEST: Plays beautifully. Slight atmospheric surface noise.

LABELS: Great overall; pale spindle traces (more on one side); a tiny square from past sticker on one side).

COVER: EX

Original Frame Cover, STUNNING GLOSS LAMINATION! 

Nice spine. Top and bottom seams split from opening (3" on the bottom and 60% on top). Perfectly clean back, super minor shelf darkening. Mild corner wear. Two album holes along spine seam line.

Some gloss peeling along  front opening line. Thin traces across gloss from shelf use. Tiny paper bubble along spine line.

ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL LP ALBUM!

SELLER'S CARE:

1. All albums have been cleaned thoroughly by hand using professional record cleaning aids, before any visual or play-grading.

2. Records are stored with professional and collector's care: standing; in plastic LP sleeves; and with vinyl disks in their own sleeves next to the LP jacket covers. All albums are kept in climate controlled environment.

3. All LPs are shipped with disks out of the jacket covers (to avoid seam splits) in professional hard cardboard LP mailers, with sufficient bubble wrap insulation and extra tape for security. Each mailer is custom stamped with "NO HEAT" and "NO SUNLIGHT" to avoid heat damage while en route.

4. Play grading is done with headphones for the most rigorous and accurate, as well as the most conservative approach. Ambient listening should be much better than graded here.

I WOULD APPRECIATE A 5-STAR FEEDBACK IN ALL CATEGORIES. IF THERE IS ANY PROBLEM, PLEASE EMAIL ME BEFORE LEAVING FEEDBACK. I WILL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING. THANK YOU

GRADING METHOD:

My Grading System is proprietary, thorough, under direct and bright daylight as well as diffused daylight, and multi-tiered very gradually, based on condition characteristics carefully defined for each individual grade, in order to effectively allocate and describe the incredible variety and diversity of used records condition levels (please see below). It aims to give a complete picture of the condition of the records you bid on, so you may do so fully informed and with complete confidence. The grading is supplemented by a detailed and completely accurate description of each LP (disk and jacket) elaborating on each and every visible imperfection.

Please read the grading tier description corresponding to the Grade Level assigned to the LP you are interested in, for you maximum understanding and clarity on the specific record condition.

PLAY-GRADE SYSTEM:

At this time I offer limited play-grading and/or if LP condition requires it, since the sheer volume of records auctioned here makes it impossible to listen to all of them in their entirety.

GRADING GUARANTEE:

My records’ visual condition is guaranteed to be as described. In most cases the visual condition under diffused daylight indicates reliably the way a record would play overall, given degree of vinyl and groove wear, quantity and nature of any marks, hairlines and scratches, and any other factors. Please keep in mind that unless a record is marked as SEALED or NEW, you would be bidding on a used item made of plastic. No one can guarantee that every second of a record will sound in a certain way. Usually surface, sleeve marks and hairlines do not affect play. Only the feelable-to-touch marks and deeper or wider marks and scratches do, but not always. At the same time I have noticed that at times an LP track that looks visually perfect would have some surface noise when played, which could be expected at times from any used record.

HEAT DAMAGE AND WARPING:

I carefully evaluate all my records for any heat damage. Please note that the records auctioned here will be marked as free of heat damage if they are not warped and the vinyl does not show any unusual patterns or discoloration caused by improper exposure to heat. If any LP does show any of the above signs of heat damage, it will be disclosed prominently in the description. I would only auction records with any heat damage signs if the record is a rare, collectible first pressing. As you may know, currently there are professional methods to fix LP vinyl warping!

HONOR AND INTEGRITY:

I operate from a deep sense of honesty, honor and integrity and trust that you do as well. I am kind, courteous, helpful and professional toward all my buyers, and I welcome the same kind of treatment from them. If we lose our honesty or integrity, we lose it all – in life as well as in business. 

GRADING SYSTEM (tiers and description)

(Applied separately to vinyl disk and LP cover!)

NOTE: I distinguish in descending order in each Grade Level between: 

(LP marks NOT AFFECTING PLAY  – Grades SEALED to NM): barely noticeable marks, pale surface marks, sleeve marks, wear marks, very thin hairlines, hairlines, longer marks, 

(LP marks which MAY AFFECT PLAY – Grades EX to G): wider marks (may not affect play), deeper marks (may or may not affect play at all), feelable-to-touch marks (occasionally or likely affecting play), scratches (deep, feelable, long and/or wide – most likely affecting play)

SEALED (------)

NEW (Visually perfect, new, unplayed condition, and/or bought new but not sealed. Should play perfectly)

MINT (Used/preowned but in brilliant condition with no signs of wear. Should play perfectly or near perfectly)

M- (MINT overall, with one or two very minor/surface imperfections (barely noticeable marks, pale surface marks – not affecting play). Should play perfectly, near perfectly or very fine overall)

NM (M- super clean overall, with very few minor imperfections, plus one or two slightly more noticeable imperfections, like surface sleeve wear, thin hairlines, or short and very slightly feelable mark. Should play really well or great throughout, minus any minimal occasional occurrences of audio imperfection, due to visually undetectable or detectable minor imperfection)

EX (NM really clean overall, with occasional one or few imperfections and/or wear signs, some more noticeable or slightly feelable. Should play really satisfyingly overall)

STRONG VG+ (EX overall, with a little more wear signs, one or very few longer, deeper or slightly feelable marks. Should play pretty well overall, minus any areas of imperfection that may be audible, or occasional surface noise)

VG+ (STRONG VG+ overall, with more signs of wear, and more noticeable, longer, deeper, wider, and some feelable marks and/or one scratch. Should play well overall, with occasional or more sustained surface noise)

WEAK VG+ (VG+ but slightly magnified. Play will be affected in various ways)

VG (WEAK VG+ overall, with even more signs of wear or excessive wear, time passage, and much more, different and deeper marks and/or scratches, which would most likely affect play for the most part)

VG- or G (Weak VG. Mostly a reference copy of a rare record. Should not be expected to play satisfactorily)

SHIPPING

SHIPPING INTERNATIONALLY.

1. Domestic United States: I offer Free Shipping for all single-LP domestic US purchases of $50.00 and over in purchase value, with $2.00 shipping charge for each additional LP when mailed together. Purchases under $50.00 are $4.00 for shipping, with $2.00 for each additional LP mailed together. I use USPS Media Mail with tracking.

2. International shipping: I offer $4.00 discount on all single LP purchases of USD 50.00 and over. LPs $40.00 and over in value will be shipped insured with US Priority Mail International. LPs priced less than $40.00 can be shipped with US First Class (cheaper). Rates to Canada, Europe, Japan and other countries and continents vary between USD 16.00 and USD 75.00. Additional LPs mailed together are shipped with a USD 3.00 additional shipping charge for each LP when mailed together. An international customs postal form with a code number is used for each package, which may or may not be able to be used as tracking. 

United States Postal Service does not offer tracking numbers on First Class, only on Priority.

International buyers please inquire for specific rates and specify your country, city and postal code for a precise quote!

3. Insurance: 

All album purchases $40.00 and over in value, given their high value and extreme rarity, will be shipped with postal insurance to protect the albums against loss and damage. The insurance amount will be included in your shipping cost.

For US buyers: I usually cover the insurance (which only cost between $1.50 and $7.00, for up to few hundred dollars in coverage) if it's around $2-3.00.  

For international buyers: The insurance amount will depend on the shipping rate they choose. The US Postal Service only allows international insurance for Priority Mail rate and up. Please ask me for a more precise quote, depending on how many albums you purchase and the total final value.

4. Special considerations and requests: Both domestic and international buyers can request specific or preferred shipping speed, method, postal carrier, forms of delivery, and insurance, at extra cost. Buyer’s choice is honored.
