Description
Well seems to be that time of year. I seem to find one copy every year-to-two years ... and this is a solid copy. Very early press, it seems to me. Beautiful almost deep groove press. Some ringwear on the cover, but still very respectable. Overall, it's a great find. I start every one of my records at $4.99, and let the market dictate from there ... so cheers!
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG+ (8.5 of 10) Perhaps one extremely light mark here or there, all surface. Playing I hear a crack or two, but it might just be static. Overall, quite remarkable. Gloss and shine still present ... looks like it wasn't played much at all. Let's put it this way: The original Reprise sleeve is still really crisp and well-formed. No taking it out and putting it in much ... an overall BEAUTIFUL copy.
COVER: VG+ (7.5 of 10) Slightly less good condition. Has noticeable ringwear. But no real seam wear, no splits, solid spine, and crisp colors as well as corners. Good gloss on cover, and still has that relatively "new" look to it. Overall, I'm very impressed. _________________________________________________________________ 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, standard solid state amplification to KLH 17 speakers. An accurate-sounding system if I say so myself.
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.
RETURNS: Generally a no go, unless you have a damn compelling reason. I 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.
ATTENTION, REGARDING RUNOUT ETCHINGS: Side 2 has a "1A" etched on it, and side 1 has a "1F" etched on it.
