TITLE: Kathy McCord, "Kathy McCord"

VINYL GRADE: EX

COVER GRADE: VG

DESCRIPTION: Rare copy of CTI-1001, Kathy McCord's self-titled album.  Produced by Creed Taylor (for whom CTI is named, obviously) and engineered by Rudy Van Gelder.  A fairly difficult album to classify .... it is jazz, it is folk, and potentially a few things in-between.  This is a rare, heavily sought after LP.  This copy is in phenomenally clean condition with original luster and clean labels.  The cover is still in shrink with the original hype sticker.  However, there is some light flaking / chipping on the back cover at the opening just outside the shrink-wrap.  There is also one spot on the front cover, also at the opening, where it looks like there was slight impact damage -- such as from the cover being dropped a table's edge.  I've included close up pictures of each affliction.  

USED LPs: All used LPs have either already been cleaned on an ultrasonic cleaner or will be ultrasonic cleaned before shipping.  All used LPs are placed in a fresh paper sleeve after being cleaned, and original inner sleeves (if present) are placed back inside the cover.  We will place more expensive records in an audiophile, anti-static inner sleeve instead of paper.  We have, in most cases, play graded LPs before listing but some LPs have been visually graded. We do our absolute best to accurately grade every LP and to grade conservatively for ultimate customer satisfaction.  This LP is basically in like new condition throughout, only opened.

HOW WE SHIP: All LPs are shipped in a square LP mailer with 2 extra cardboard pads for protection.  All open/used LPs are shipped with the album outside the cover in a poly sleeve to prevent seam splits during transit.  We will open new LPs for this same treatment UPON REQUEST.  All LPs being shipped domestically are done so with USPS Media Mail. Our $5.85 shipping rate is our exact cost of media mail shipping on all LPs weighing less than 2 lbs. packed (most) + an LP mailer and two cardboard pads; we are making no profit on this shipping charge.  All international shipments are sent USPS 1st Class Airmail. We ship out 6 days/week: Monday through Saturday. A tracking number is provided with all domestic shipments. International customers are sent the customs form number.
