Blue Note goodness. Come and grab it. A MONO copy also, with the OG labels, and the almighty Van Gelder mastering. 

See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (9.0 of 10) Original mono, New York labels, VAN GELDER in runout. And I don't think you can find a copy of this with the vinyl in better condition -- I mean, I would challenge someone to. I searched pretty hard only to find one minisculely light surface scratch ... pretty much top condition on the vinyl here.
COVER: High VG (7.0 of 10) Overall solid shape, but there's some splitting on top, so I'll call it VG. Some light staining on the cover and 5" of splitting on the top seam. Other than that, just some minor storage wear ... quite nice if you can get past the splitting.  _________________________________________________________________ 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, ST-70 tube amplification to KLH 17 speakers. A tubey system indeed!
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. But, I'm also an adult, and I understand there are situations, so I mean ... just talk to me if you want to return something and I'm sure we can work something out. But 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. But please ASK QUESTIONS WHEN IN DOUBT. I promise, we can make this an easy transaction.
