Here's something that's super rare. Literally never seen this before ... it's an incredible album. Like amazing, and I might search an OJC out ... anyway, this one is original and in Okay shape.

See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG (6.7 of 10) First MONO press, deep groove, no "inc" label, promo copy. It's got great gloss to it, and decently preserved. There are some light scratches on boths sides. It's a light LP, so there's some light popping, but nothing overly harsh. Expect noise on both sides, but it's still quite clean with a pops or crackles on and off -- but nothing loud. Music shines throughout fine, and nothing is feelable at all.
COVER: Strong VG (7.3 of 10) Solid cover with beautiful gloss. One 2" middle-seam crack on top, but that's it. Seams and spine are tight otherwise. A small crease on front, and some kind of storage line on the back? ... Overall it's nice though. Decent package all around, and rare ... that's for sure. Not sure if I'll ever see one again, to be honest. _______ 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, but not the whole album. I've listened to passages of records I sell. I do NOT listen to the entire album. I DO play passages, testing for any clear distortion, groove wear, crackles, pops, etc. But no, the entire LP is not played through it's entirety. I play on a Lenco L70, via AT MM cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to Klipsch speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: Free 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 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 try to 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

Just a quick note: I just listened to the entire LP -- it's certainly a VG+ play. An amazing album ... I just had to listen to it through. Bit confidently.
