Description
Boy oh boy ... Coltrane broke jazz with this one. I mean really broke it. And I love it. Not for the faint of heart, but it exists for pretty hardcore jazz fans -- people who have listened to it all and understand what it is. It's a pretty heavy album for sure. Free shipping (US ONLY!) for this record.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG+ (9.0 of 10) Original Impulse label, First Edition, stereo copy; VAN GELDER stamp in runout, "Product of ABC" label. ... I can barely find anything wrong with this. Maybe a very light paper scuff or two? It looks pretty much new.
COVER: VG+ (8.5 of 10) Spine has some bumping, corners aren't super crisp. Hint of ringwear ... otherwise tip top. No splits, and beautiful gloss. _________________________________________________________________ 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, standard solid state amplification to KLH 17 speakers. An accurate-sounding system if I say so myself.
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. I 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.
