Yeah ... this is an amazing copy of One Flight Up. The cover is OK, but the vinyl is the main event. It plays beautifully. ... very solid copy.

See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (8.8 of 10) OG MONO copy. New York address, VAN GELDER in runouts. Plastylite ear. Fantastic vinyl. Very clean. A very small amount of light scuffing, but other than that it's in tip top. It plays very, very well. I've owned this copy for a few years now, and the only reason I'm getting rid of it is because I found some amazing psych stuff I want to keep (Gandalf) ... but don't miss this copy, it sings.
COVER: VG (6.2 of 10) So the cover is solid enough. Center bottom seam is repaired, as well as a few inches up top opening, but it's done very well. So technically there isn't splitting anymore, but there was. Now it just looks like heavier seam wear. Spine is decent. Art presents well, and the back has a little age to it. Overall, it's nice, but not great.
_______ 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, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 17 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
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 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
