Description
For sale I have an awesome 1970s pressing of this stone cold classic record: Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch. As you can see in the pictures, the label is the blue with white "b" style of this era, and it says "Mastered by Liberty" in the deadwax. This record plays wonderfully with my VM540ML cartridge.
Grading conservatively according to goldmine standards, I grade both the cover and vinyl as VG+. I can't grade it higher due to visual marks on the vinyl, including a few superficial scuffs and some finger prints in the deadwax and along the edge. However, I don't hear these marks on my system and it's a very clean and enjoyable listen. The cover is gorgeous and would be NM if not for a couple corner bends (the worst one is the upper left corner, as you should be able to see in the pictures). But the spine and the back is really clean.
Let's talk about shipping. Don't you hate when you buy a record on eBay and the seller ships it with one of those flimsy white record mailers with no reinforcement and the USPS stomps on it? ME TOO.
That's why I only ship records with FedEx (these records are too precious for media mail) and packed tight with numerous cardboard reinforcement pieces and in an extra-thick record box like the kind of Acoustic Sounds uses. Charging a flat $6 which means I'm covering part of the shipping, but I'd rather do that than ship this through USPS.
Shipping to the Continental United States (no international shipping, sorry).
