DESCRIPTION: Epic mono recording far exceeded their stereo and are some of the loudest mono LPs I've heard. The record itself looks new and unplayed, although I've played it a few times on a Linn Sondek 12. It plays perfectly. The cover retains a nice gloss and has no dark ring wear which usually afflicts white covers. You won't find a better copy.

_______________________________

I began buying records in the mid 60’s and I've always been fanatical about record care and storage.

The records I sell are from my personal collection, including backup copies. I've never been one to buy VG records or anything with an audible scratch, which eliminates the vast majority. If I do miss an audible flaw, then kindly contact me and it will be rectified.

I use standard US grading plus the UK grade of EX in order to eliminate the dreaded VG+++

Records are first inspected under a halogen light (the only light that shows every flaw) and any blemishes are examined with a 10x power magnifier which allows the grooves to be fully inspected. Then they’re play graded on a Linn Sondek LP12.

Over the decades, I've seen grading fads come and go, such as: “visual” grading by people who don't own a turntable; the current use of nonsense grades like NM+ and NM- as well as the dubious belief that there’s no such thing as a mint record.

As a record buyer, I've had a lot of over graded “garage sale” LPs arrive covered with gritty dust and greasy fingerprints while the seller claims a “visual” grade based on fantasy. Be assured that my records will arrive clean and fingerprint free.
