Description
I never find copies of these old Prestige in this condition. Vinyl in amazing shape. Archival stuff here. This is one of my Buy it Now auctions. Free shipping (US ONLY!) for this record. And I don't have a 10" sleeve for this album, so it will be sent in normal 12" album protection, with extra attention to prevent any sliding.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG+ (9.0 of 10) Deep Groove, OG Plastylite press, 50th address. Beautiful shape ... a scuff here maybe, a very miniscule needle drop there maybe ... it's nice though. Like really nice ... you want this, trust me.
COVER: VG+ (9.5 of 10) Here is where the copy really, really shines ... NO SPLITS. I never find these like new. Beautiful dull gloss ... like holding history. Only issue is normal age ... corners are still crisp. _________________________________________________________________ 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 Denon 103 MC cart; tube preamp, standard solid state amplification to KLH 17 speakers. An accurate-sounding system if I say so myself.
SHIPPING: $4.99 for 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 damn compelling reason. I 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.
