Description
Here's a heavy hitter! Interestingly, this press has a flat edge ... must be an early/transitional Bergenfield press. RVG is hand etched as well (not machine stamped), lending evidence that this was in fact transitional ... read more below.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG (6.5 of 10) RVG hand etched, deep groove, Bergenfield address, flat edge pressing. So there's a few light scratches. There's really only one of consequence, on side 2 (pictured) ... very lightly felt. A little popping, but nothing horrid ... except for a few spots on Side 2, I'd say a majority of play is VG+ ... it's quite nice. I spun it a few times ... and kind of love it.
COVER: VG+ (7.5 of 10) Quite nice. 1" split top opening, top seam. Otherwise just a little shelf wear ... very nice jacket. Fairly decent copy all around, I'd say. _______ 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 AT MM cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 17 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
