BILL EVANS WALTZ FOR DEBBY 1ST MONO PRESS VINYL RECORD RIVERSIDE RLP 399 DG EX

$

598

You are bidding on a rare first pressing of Bill Evans’ “Waltz for Debby” vinyl record. This is on Riverside label RLP 399 with Deep Grooves on both sides.

RECORD GRADE: EX (visual & play graded)

DESCRIPTION: The vinyl record is visually graded in EX condition (only a few superficial marks on each side and a little bit of sleeve rash). None of these marks cause any loud clicks, pops or skips. The sound is bright and clear which is important on a quiet performance such as this. Minor crackle in between songs. Plays beautifully and the vinyl is full of shine and luster!

COVER GRADE: VG

DESCRIPTION: The cover is graded in VG condition. Please see pix for visuals. Definite shelf wear noticeable on the front (this cover is notorious for this due to the black cover). Wear to the seams and spine as well. About a 2” split on bottom seam close to mouth of sleeve as well as a 2” split at top of spine. Please see pix.

I am selling other LPs so please check out my other auctions!

NO RESERVE!!

GRADING SYSTEM:

MINT: Sealed record. I will never grade anything as mint unless it is sealed, at which time it is presumed to be mint.

NEAR MINT (NM): Typically my top grade. The record or cover will show the most minimal of wear. The record will have top gloss. The cover will be free from any ring wear, splits, or handwriting.

EXCELLENT (EX): Not quite Near Mint but a super clean, desirable record, showing a few superficial markings on the vinyl that do not affect playability and the cover free of splits, and any major ringwear.

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+): The record or cover will show signs of wear but no significant defects. There may be superficial markings in greater abundance, potential for minor groove wear. None of the above affecting the playability to any great detriment. Cover may show signs of more significant ringwear, minor splits or seam/spine wear.

VERY GOOD (VG): Obvious signs of wear but the record still has life in it. The scratches will be more feelable resulting in minor pops or clicks. Skipping should not occur though at this grade. The cover will show greater signs of wear, (ringwear, splits, writing).

VERY GOOD MINUS (VG-): The record or cover will show moderate to heavy wear. For a common record this would not be an acceptable grade. For an in-demand, rare record it should be considered. Skips may be present as the feelable scratches will be much more prevalent. The cover will show heavy wear.

GOOD (G): Very heavy wear. This grade would only be acceptable if the record is rare enough that you might not see another copy available for sale or it's a rare record at a low price. I will rarely sell a record at this grade.
