ALL RECORDS HAVE BEEN THOROUGHLY CLEANED WITH A VPI MACHINE, AND THE COVERS CLEANED OF DIRT AND RESIDUE.

RECORDS WILL BE SENT WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS,  AS I HAVE A 7-7 JOB, M-F, WITH 2-3 MINUTES FOR LUNCH.  AND I ACTUALLY LIKE IT!

GRADING:   NM, EX, VG+, VG, VG-, G. 

MY VG HAS LITTLE NOISE ON IT, NOT LIKE A LOT OF FRENCH VG GRADES THESE DAYS (SORRY, BUT ITS SADLY TRUE ). VG+ IS PRETTY CLEAR OF NOISE, EX IS NOISELESS AND NM IS MINT, AND NOTHING IS MINT COMING OUT OF AFRICA.  VISUAL GRADES ARE ANOTHER MATTER, AND ARE STATED IF DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE ACOUSTIC GRADE, WHICH IS THE ONE PRESENTED.
