Here’s the fourth release for Thelonious Monk “Monk’s Music” with John Coltrane, Coleman Hawkins, Art Blakey, and Gigi Gryce on a White Label Riverside RLP 12-242 on a 12 inch 33 rpm record album! I played both sides on the record on a Pioneer direct drive with a Pickering cartridge through a 1970’s Pioneer SX-1250 receiver and a pair of Klipsch La Scala Theater speakers. I played it with the treble set to 10+ on the 10kHz dial and 5+ on the 20kHz dial to pick up any high end noise and I think that this picks up too much sound that you probably would not hear on a less complicated stereo unit. I would rate this record as VG++ as the vinyl is very clean and there was almost no background noise at all. This is probably one of the cleanest sounding record of all of the records I have been listing. The labels are NM as you can see by the photos. The cover is very clean and still has it’s glossy finish. The seams are very nice with only one insignificant 1/8” fixable tear on the side seam! No original sleeve. NO RESERVE!!
Terms of my auctions: Contact information: My name is Leigh Godbey from Grand Blanc, MI. and my e-mail address is Lee@vintagecoolstuff.com and my phone number is 734-516-9166. I not hide behind a bidder name and I respond to all legitimate questions.
Ending auctions early: I will not end my auctions early for any reason. Why? Because people want to bid with someone who does not accept side-bids during an auction. People want to know that the item they are bidding on or watching and waiting to bid on will be there for the duration of the auction.
Shipping: Regardless of what eBay calculates during the auction for shipping cost, I will send an invoice THROUGH EBAY with the correct shipping amount. I charge only for actual shipping costs and I do attempt to find the most reasonable method of shipping. If you request UPS I will take the item to the UPS Customer Counter and the charge will be $5.00 handling charge as it takes me about 2 gallons of gas to make the trip. I pack better than most professional Pack’n’Ship places to which my feedback will attest. If there are packaging supplies needed, such as Styrofoam Peanuts or a quantity of 1 inch Styrofoam sheets, I do charge for the amount used, as I have to pay for it out of my pocket to assure a safe delivery!
Shipping insurance will be added to this shipment for your protection!
Guarantees: The majority of the items I sell are antiques and as such are not perfect or without flaws. I try my best to inspect and describe all items to the best of my ability but I am not perfect so please, if you have any questions, e-mail me and ask questions before you bid and before the end of the auction. Keep in mind that most of my auctions end on or around 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time and I typically turn off my computer by 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time MOST evenings. You are buying this item As-is, where-is and without a warrantee or a guarantee unless it is evident that the item is maliciously and intentionally misrepresented.
Payment: Payment is to be received within 7 days after the auction ends. If payment is not received within 7 days of the end of the auction, the seller reserves the right to consider it a NON-PAYMENT and either relist the item or decide not to sell the item due to not abiding by the auction terms. If you know that you cannot abide by any or all of the above terms, please do not bid on this item. I will entertain any reasonable requests concerning my terms provided I am notified prior to any actions.
Buyers with 5 feedback or less: Understanding that everybody is a Newbie at one time, I am requesting that buyers with 5 or less feedback rating contact me, in timely manner that would allow a response to be given, prior to bidding. This is to assure that, being new to eBay, you are aware of the auction terms prior to bidding or purchasing an item. Failure to abide by this term will allow me the option to cancel your bid or relist the auction. The reason for this is to ensure you are a qualified bidder and also to protect the other bidders.

The edge of the record is flat.  It does not have the raised edges.
