I AM POSTING THE CREAM OF THE CROP OF A VERY NICE JAZZ COLLECTION! CHECK MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR FIRST PRESSING BLUE NOTE, IMPULSE, AND OTHER JAZZ RARITIES! THESE WERE FROM AN ESTATE SALE COLLECTION AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE OWNER MAY HAVE BEEN A DJ. ALL OF THESE RECORDS HAVE BEEN METICULOUSLY CARED FOR AND SOUND AMAZING--IN MANY CASES THEY PLAY PERFECTLY! ALL WITH LOW STARTING BIDS AND NO RESERVE!

**ALL RECORDS WILL SHIP IN A PLASTIC-LINED PAPER SLEEVE, AND WILL BE SHIPPED OUTSIDE JACKET TO AVOID DAMAGE. I PACKAGE THESE RECORDS IN LARGE CUSTOM BOXES WITH LOTS OF PADDING TO PROTECT THESE TREASURES. SEE GRADING SCALE AND ABOUT ME BELOW**

RECORD DESCRIPTION: BLUE NOTE RECORDS 84110 HORACE SILVER QUINTET "TOKYO BLUES". ORIGINAL NEW YORK LABELS, ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE, AND VAN GELDER STAMPS!!

MATRIX INFO:
a) STEREO VAN GELDER (stamped) ear symbol BNST-84110 A(written)
b) STEREO VAN GELDER (stamped) ear symbol BNST-84110 B(written)

ITEM CONDITION: RECORD IS NEAR PERFECT, NEAR MINT/MINT 98 WITH NO NOTICEABLE WEAR AT ALL! THE ONLY FLAW TO BE FOUND WHEN INSPECTING THE RECORD DIRECTLY UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT IS A COUPLE OF TINY AREAS OF WHAT I CALL SLEEVE RASH-- THE TYPE THAT CAN BE FOUND ON ANY RECORD STORED IN A PAPER SLEEVE, EVEN NEW, SEALED RECORDS. THIS DISC LOOKS AND PLAYS LIKE NEW! THE LABELS ARE NEAR PERFECT AS WELL, NM/MINT 99 WITH 1 OR 2 ALMOST IMPERCEPTIBLE LIGHT MARKS. THE JACKET IS NEAR MINT 95 WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR AT THE OPENING CORNERS AND TARNISH ON THE BACK (NO COLOR LOSS). THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS VERY GOOD WITH 1 SIDE SEAM SEPARATED, BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK TORN. IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT UPGRADING THIS VINYL AND JACKET WOULD BE PRETTY MUCH IMPOSSIBLE!  I ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEE THE CONDITION! CHECK PHOTOS BELOW FOR DETAILS.

GRADING SCALE
ALL RECORDS VISUALLY GRADED UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED. I WILL USE + OR - IF NEEDED FOR BORDERLINE ITEMS

MINT SEALED: SAYS IT ALL! JACKET WILL BE GRADED SEPARATELY TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY FLAWS

NEAR MINT/MINT 98-100: RECORD AND/OR JACKET LOOK BRAND NEW, NO VISIBLE WEAR! LABELS WILL SHOW NO SIGNS OF USE OR WEAR OF ANY KIND. ONLY THE NICEST, LIKE-NEW ITEMS WILL GET THIS TOUGH GRADE!

NEAR MINT 90-97: LITTLE TO NO SIGNS OF WEAR. JACKET WILL HAVE ONLY A FEW LIGHT FLAWS, AND RECORD WILL HAVE ONLY THE LIGHTEST OF COSMETIC FLAWS THAT DO NOT AFFECT PLAY. LABELS IN THIS GRADE WILL ONLY SHOW A FEW VERY LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS

EXCELLENT 80-89: LOOKS GORGEOUS WITH ONE OR TWO FLAWS TO KNOCK IT DOWN FROM NEAR MINT. SHOULD STILL LOOK LIKE NEW AT A GLANCE

VERY GOOD 70-79: RECORD AND/OR JACKET WILL SHOW SIGNS OF USE, BUT NOTHING MAJOR. RECORD WILL SHOW LIGHT MARKS FROM FREQUENT USE, BUT NO DEEP SCRATCHES, NO LOUD REPEATING POPS AND CERTAINLY NO SKIPS OR RETURNS. RING WEAR MAY START TO SHOW ON THE COVER, AND SMALL SEAM SPLITS MAY BE PRESENT, BUT SEAM MUST BE LARGELY INTACT

GOOD 60-69: RECORD AND JACKET WILL SHOW SIGNIFICANT SIGNS OF USE. STILL A RECORD THAT IS PLAYABLE AND NO SKIPS OR RETURNS.

FAIR 50-59: A WELL LOVED ALBUM THAT WILL PLAY WILL SHOW MUCH USE AND LITTLE CARE. I WILL NEVER LIST A FAIR OR WORSE RECORD UNLESS IT IS INSANELY RARE IN ANY CONDITION!!

POOR 49 AND LOWER: SEAMS TOTALLY SPLIT, TONS OF SURFACE WEAR ON LABELS AND RECORD. AGAIN, ONLY IMPOSSIBLY RARE RECORDS WOULD EVER SHOW UP IN MY EBAY WITH THIS GRADE

ABOUT ME: I AM AN EXTREMELY PICKY COLLECTOR. ALL RECORDS ARE INSPECTED UNDER A BRIGHT BULB AND I MAKE SURE TO NEVER OVERSTATE THE CONDITION OF MY COLLECTIBLES. MY EQUIPMENT IS A DUAL 606 TURNTABLE AND A SHURE M97XE CARTRIDGE THAT HAS LESS THAN 100 HOURS ON IT. IF YOU ARE EVER UNHAPPY WITH MY GRADING, I WILL GLADLY ACCEPT RETURNS AND REFUND YOUR MONEY!

STAY TUNED FOR MANY MORE RECORDS OF ALL GENRES!!
