THE MILES DAVIS QUINTET - WORKIN' WITH THE MILES DAVIS QUINTET OG 1959 PRESTIGE RECORDS MONO PRESS (PRLP 7166) DEEP GROOVE, RVG, BERGENFIELD, NJ
PLEASE NOTE - AUDIBLY CHECKED IN FULL. AS MENTIONED BELOW THE DISC HAS SEVERAL PRESSING FLAWS - BUMPS AND DIMPLES ON EACH SIDE AND UNFORTUNATELY IT SEEMS EVERY ONE OF THEM CAN BE HEARD. HERE'S A QUICK RUNDOWN : A1 HAS SEVERAL POPS AND LOW THUMPS WITH MANY OF BOTH DURING THE TRACK'S FINAL MINUTE, A2 HAS SOME POPS AND TICKS, A3 PLAYS WITH NEARLY CONTINUOUS POPS AND THUMPS, A4 HAS A COUPLE LIGHT TICKS. B1 AND B2 HAVE SEVERAL POPS, TICKS AND THUMPS, B3 AND B4 HAVE A FEW POPS EACH. IF I HAD TO ASSIGN A PLAY GRADE IT WOULD BE "PLAYS SHITTY" (EXCUSE MY LANGUAGE BUT LET'S TELL IT LIKE IT IS), WHICH IS A SHAME AS WITHOUT THESE DEFECTS IT WOULD BE A REALLY NICE COPY
COVER - VG+ (WEAR AND TEAR TO TOP LEFT CORNER, LIGHT WEAR TO LOWER LEFT AND TOP RIGHT CORNERS, PENCIL, STAINING, AGE DISCOLORATION ON BACK)
WAX - VG (ONE FAINT LINE ON A2, DOZENS OF TINY PRESSING BUMPS AND DIMPLES ON EACH SIDE, LIGHT SLEEVE STAINS ON EACH SIDE) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE NOTE - ALL GRADINGS ARE VISUAL ONLY EXCEPT WHERE NOTED. ALL RECORDS ARE GRADED UNDER THE HARSHEST AND MOST UNFORGIVING OF LIGHTS. MANY MARKS THAT HAVE BEEN NOTED WILL BE ALL BUT INVISIBLE UNDER NORMAL LIGHTING. EVERY RECORD HAS BEEN INSPECTED SEVERAL TIMES PRIOR TO LISTING. MISTAKES AND OMISSIONS STILL HAPPEN BUT IT IS MY GOAL TO KEEP THEM AT AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM. 
PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT EVERY RECORD IN THIS AUCTION HAS BEEN SITTING UNPLAYED ON A SHELF FOR AT LEAST 30 YEARS. WITHOUT POLY OUTER SLEEVE PROTECTION OR REGULAR USE MANY HAVE DEVELOPED SLEEVE STAINS - COSMETIC BLEMISHES ON THE PLAYING SURFACE(S) THAT DO NOT AFFECT PLAY. THESE MARKS ARE FACTORED INTO ALL FINAL GRADING DECISIONS AND ARE ALWAYS NOTED IN THE DESCRIPTIONS BUT ARE NOT JUDGED AS HARSHLY AS MORE COMMONLY SEEN AND DETRIMENTAL MARKS LIKE SCRATCHES AND SCUFFS
COMBINED SHIPPING IS NOT AVAILABLE TO OVERSEAS BUYERS. EBAY DOES NOT ALLOW COMBINED SHIPPING THROUGH THEIR GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM ALL GRADING IS VISUAL EXCEPT WHERE NOTED. ALL VINYL IS INSPECTED UNDER A HARSH RAKING LIGHT AND GRADED ACCORDINGLY. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF ANYTHING IS UNCLEAR, I WILL ANSWER ASAP. AS ALWAYS SHIPPING FOR AN UNLIMITED AMOUNT OF RECORDS IS $5 FOR BUYERS LOCATED IN THE USA. 1 RECORD OR 100 RECORDS COSTS THE SAME $5 FOR USA BUYERS ONLY.
ALL VINYL WILL BE REMOVED FROM SLEEVE AND PACKED CAREFULLY WITH A BRAND NEW ACID FREE PAPER OR PLAIN POLY INNER SLEEVE AND BRAND NEW 3MIL POLY OUTER SLEEVE BETWEEN IDENTICAL SHEETS OF CARDBOARD AND PLACED IN AN LP MAILER.
