4. LP Signals Arrival of Singer-Songwriter/Multi-Instrumentalist on Par with Norah Jones
   
   2008 Vocal Pop Effort Teems With Capacious Low-Level Detail, Acoustic Information, Timbral Presence
   
   

   As the label that founded Norah Jones, Blue Note strikes singer-songwriter gold again with Priscilla Ahn. The charming folk artist honed her skills at various L.A. clubs before translating her magnetic, intimate style on one of the new decade's most impressive debuts, A Good Day. Rife with organic production, subtly complex arrangements, and wise lyrics, the album signals the arrival of a talent on par with female contemporaries Jones and Sara Bareilles.

   Mastered from the original master tapes by Mobile Fidelity, A Good Day sounds positively exquisite on 180g LP, the very first time this sure-to-be audiophile vocal favorite has been made available on vinyl. While Mobile Fidelity typically issues albums that are at least a decade old, the label's engineers and decision makers felt too strongly about Ahn's 2008 album to squander any opportunity to release it. Such is the capacious amount of low-level detail, acoustic information, timbral presence, natural dynamics, and wide-spectrum frequency response present on a vocal-dominant effort that sparkles sonically as well as musically. A Good Day is the kind of airy album meant for high-end turntables, analog-friendly amplifiers, a cozy seat, and glass of fine Bordeaux.

   Helmed by noted producer and Beck colleague Joey Waronker, A Good Day teems with understated string sections, fingerpicked arpeggios, rustic atmospherics, and confident harmonies. Ahn's relaxed, rural-based childhood memories work their way into delicate ballads and cozy midtempo strummers, as does her more recent stint in California's sun-baked environs. Simultaneously innocent and experienced, she's equally at home with tender love-struck admissions as she is with tough-skinned declarations. Always in control, her lyrics and music belie her then-24-year-old age.

   Fans of Joni Mitchell, Carole King, and Laura Nyro should immediately be drawn to Ahn's personal, intimate vibes. The upstart multi-instrumentalist not only plays guitar but also masters autoharp, piano, ukulele, Wurlitzer organ, bells, and glockenspiel on tracks rife with texture and color. Yet the main attraction remains Ahn's wispy, clear, dream-like voice. Soft and sensual, spirited and soothing, her coos, whispers, and wordless flights take off like a breeze on a clear summer day, gently blowing against fields of golden flowers and pillowy clouds.

   Indeed, Ahn's is a comforting voice you'll want to experience in the highest-possible fidelity. Experience the blissful aural sensations and myriad sonic hues delivered by Mobile Fidelity's numbered limited-edition 180g LP, and luxuriate in acoustic folk-pop that brightens moods, massages the senses, and clings to the soul as well as any you've heard in recent memory.

8. Condition:
9. This item has EXCELLENT quality. Not sure what this means?
   
10. Jackets:   We do NOT assign letter-grades to the jacket of a record;  IF you see more than one Letter Grade with a slash (/) between them, that is for when the individual SIDES of the record itself grade differently; we do grade each side of every record; when the grade for both sides is the same, the record will show only ONE Letter-Grade.
11.  Here is our grading scale:
12. Our Grading Scale:
13. All LPs are graded visually, under careful inspection by collector/dealers, with many years' experience at LP evaluation.  Some of the most sought-after (and/or more questionable) will be play-graded on a fine 2-channel system; if the LP has been play-graded, that will be stated in the listing - - but, in any case, all LPs are scrutinized carefully, and described to the best of our abilities.  We do realize, of course, that a visual estimation can be mistaken - - we plead humanity, and offer apologies, in that hopefully-rare instance where this occurs.
14. E  (or Ex, or Exc) =  Excellent, our highest grade for a used LP; such an LP has been well cared-for by a collector, and contains no scratches expected to sound.  An LP which is play-graded by us, and listed in this condition, should contain no more than about half-a-dozen or so ticks per side, actually better than many brand-new discs play out.  Our E is the equivalent of some other dealers' NM, or NM-minus, or yet other dealers' A.
    
15. E- (or Exc-minus), signifies that the LP is till very well cared-for, but may contain one or two light scratches, which are not expected to produce much surface-noise.  This grade is roughly equivalent to some dealers' NM-minus-minus, or others' EX, and yet other dealers' A-minus.
16. V+ (or VG+, or Very Good-Plus):  an LP which is assigned this grade still is in very positive condition, with a few more light marks than would warrant an E-minus.  A disc in this condition is expected to have a bit of extraneous surface-noise, but it should not be expected to interfere much with the enjoyment of the music for most collectors.  Our V+ is roughly equivalent to some dealers' Exc-minus, or VG+, and yet other dealers'  B+.
17. V (or VG, or Very Good):  It is at this point which we expect the surface-noise in at least a part of the disc to interfere with enjoyment of the music for a majority of collectors.  May contain one or a few feel-able scratches.  It is possible, however (best-case scenario), that such an LP might tick loudly for, perhaps, half a minute, and yet, the rest of the side might play flawlessly.  We would generally encourage only those collectors who consider themselves pretty tolerant to pursue an LP in this condition.  V  is roughly equivalent to some other dealers' VG or VG-minus, and to others' B, or B-minus.  You will generally not see us list records below this condition, unless scarcity & demand compel us.
18. In decreasing desirability, the remainder of our grading scale is:  V- (or Very Good-minus),  G+ (or Good-Plus),  G (or Good) (which, really, isn't so great),  G- (or good-minus),  F (or Fair), and P (or Poor).  You will not normally see records in these condition descriptions in our listings, as they all describe what we consider to be only a stop-gap copy at best - - just so the collector can say he DOES have the LP
19. INDIVIDUAL SIDES  - -  Each side of every LP is graded individually; if only one grade is listed, this means both sides of that LP grade the same.  In a case where the sides differ in condition, 2 grades will be listed, with a slash-mark  (/)  between them
20. (for example,  E/-, meaning, of course, one side grades straight Excellent, and the other, Excellent-minus)  (or E-/V+, would mean, of course, Excellent-minus over Very Good Plus (still a pretty desirable LP) , and so on....
21. LP SETS - -  In the case of a multiple-record set, again, each side of each LP is assigned its own grade, and listed as such - -  so, for example,  6E would signify a 3-disc set, in which ALL six  sides are graded Excellent    or, say, 7E/2-/V+ would then signify a five-disc set, in which seven of the sides graded Excellent, two graded at Excellent-minus, and the other one, at Very-Good-Plus....
22. We do not automatically down-grade an LP for paper-rubs or light scuffs - -  only for scratches.  In our experience, often-times a scuff or paper-rub, or discoloration in the vinyl might not sound at all.  A further distinction is made between feel-able scratches, and those scratches which are visible, but cannot be felt by careful, gentle probing.  Any LP graded above VG should contain ONLY non-feel-able scratches (if any at all);  if there is a feel-able scratch on an LP side, that side should be graded VG or lower.
23. COVERS - -  We do not ordinarily grade record covers, preferring, instead, to simply list any particular defects, OR merits of a particular cover:  defects would include sticker-pulls, seam-splits, cut-out holes, browning or discoloration of the cover, etc....If, on the other hand, a cover is like-new in appearance, that, too might be mentioned, as that is also out of the ordinary.

24. Shipping Costs and Restrictions  ***IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING!***

    • Find your location below to learn how we'll ship to you. The shipping costs we provide here are estimations, and should not be taken as exact. Note that double/triple LPs and box sets cost extra to ship.  Ebay's shipping calculator is incorrect so please kindly disregard it.  Here are the correct shipping rates for your location:

    •   Continental US - Media Mail or Priority Mail are recommended for buyers located in the United States and are provided as shipping options during checkout. We gladly combine shipping cost to make your purchase as economical as possible and charge close to actual USPS shipping rates to ship.

    •   Canada - Shipping costs start around $12.00 US for the first single LP. For each additional LP this cost increases by about $3.00 US up to 4 pounds (~ 1.8 Kg). Anything over 1.8 Kg will have to be shipped via USPS Priority Mail.

    •   China and Russia - Unfortunately due to many packages not getting to China and Russia we no longer ship by First Class International.  The only way we will ship to China and Russia is by Priority Mail Express.  So very sorry about this but we can no longer afford to keep giving away free stuff and also pay for shipping as we are a very small mom and pop operation.

    •   Italy We DO NOT ship to Italy due to an unusually high number of packages which disappeared before reaching their buyers. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

    •   International - USPS First Class International (FCI) and USPS Priority Mail International are the shipping methods we offer for reaching our international buyers. Costs for First Class start at about $16.00 for the first single LP and for each additional LP increases by roughly $4.00 up to a maximum of 4 lbs (1.8 kg) for most countries.  However, if the package weight exceeds 4 lbs USPS Priority Mail is the only option.  Please check with us first to make sure that you are one of the countries we ship FCI to.

    • Please note that although eBay has a shipping calculator, for international fees its values are often incorrect. Most of the time the actual shipping cost will be greatly reduced from eBay's estimate.
