Description
So I usually find about one of these a year -- and, oddly, I think this is the second I've found this year. 'Tis the season! Anyway, ya, this thing is amazing. Very respectable copy. Not an absolute top copy, but really not far from it.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG+ (8.0 of 10) OG Tri-color Reprise press. Obviously the mono-ness of this LP is the selling point. And this copy plays just as it should. Solidly VG+ looking and playback. Has a little bit of light scuffing, but overall, the listener will be happy. No scratching, just some paper scuffs. ....it sounds great.
COVER: VG+ (8.5 of 10) No splits. A little chipping on middle of spine (about 1.5" in the middle), but nothing huge. Corners are decently crisp yet. A little bit of aging, but no ringwear ... very respectable cover. Overall a great copy.
_________________________________________________________________ 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 damn 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 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
