Description
John Coltrane - My Favorite Things - Atlantic Records - Catalog Number 1361. This is a mono pressing from 1961. There seems to be quite a bit of label variation among the 1961 pressings. On this one, the Atlantic "fan" is black on a white background, others are the opposite. On this copy the run out 11756-A with a stamped anvil (I think that's what it's referred to as). Additional marks are: AT and a W.
Cover: VG++ Seams all very tight with very minimal shelf wear. The things like look like marks in the picture seem to be the laminate raising from the surface. Odd, but no tears or anything like that. Name of owner written along with minor smudge from storage (see close up pic). The heavy laminate jacket though is very tight.
Vinyl: Visual: NM- There is one surface mark about 1/2 inch long, not affecting play. Otherwise, I can see no other flaw. Plays: NM- I played all of side one. Plays perfectly. There is some very level "snap crackle pop" in the quieter passages, but this simply must be pressing surface noise, not play degradation or "scratches" which comes around every rotation. Nothing like that. Just not perfectly dead quiet...not sure how many pressings from the 1950's and early 60's are.
I am happy to combine shipping. Most shipping boxes can handle 3 or 4 LPs. We can discuss shipping if you purchase more.
PLEASE READ ALL INFO BELOW ON GRADING, TERMS AND BASIC AUCTION DETAILS
MY LPS
With few exceptions, all the LPs I am offering come from my personal collection. They have all received excellent care while in my possession both on the turntables/cartridges used and in storage, most having polylined inner sleeves and plastic outer covers. That doesn't mean they are all perfect as sometimes I wanted albums for a low price, experimentation or easy playing so a decent copy is all I wanted. In other cases I really wanted as close to new as possible.
GRADING
Grading is subjective. I will do my best to be accurate as I want buyers to be satisfied. I am cleaning all the LPs then both visually and play grading. Sometimes LPs really are near mint but still have pops or noise due to the PRESSING itself or the original material (as in 1930's jazz recordings). I will attempt to describe such as I will listen to one full cut from each LP. I use only the categories VG and NM along with a plus or a minus.
NM - Jacket tight, no splits, tears, writing, discoloration, etc. Vinyl - Shiny, clear of most any surface scratches, sounds excellent with no or few pops, scratches except those that perhaps can be heard between cuts or in the quietest of passages. As noted above if I consider the noise to be part of the PRESSING while the vinyl looks pristine, I will mention that.
VG - Jacket generally tight, will exhibit shelf wear, small splits or tears, etc. Vinyl - Sound is excellent but has extra pops or noise from being played or perhaps a slight warp that does not inhibit normal play. Anything below this will not be offered.
+(-) will be used at my discretion to help further grade the jackets and vinyls. For example, VG++ might be used where I just can't quite give it a NM status but it's closer to NM than to VG. I'll do my best but no doubt not everybody is going to see eye to eye with me on every LP. You'll have to have a little faith here but I do want to maintain my good rating at Ebay so I have an incentive not to over grade. If I do, you may buy once but not again.
STANDARD DETAILS
- All LPs manually cleaned on my Spin Clean set up - All LPs visually and play graded (I listen to one complete cut per LP, usually 1st cut, Side A unless I see an issue elsewhere) - All LPs come with paper inner sleeve, most with polylined paper sleeve and plastic cover for jacket (unless otherwise noted) - All LPs shipped in cardboard LP mailers. I do NOT make money on shipping. Minimum media mail postage is $2.85. I add the cost of the mailers and packaging. That's it. I don't understand how some people expect shipping to be lower than seller cost. - Returns are NOT accepted unless I've really screwed up. I am as straightforward in my descriptions as possible.
