Description
DOROTHY ASHBY “Afro-Harping” ORIGINAL 1968 Cadet LP NM!
Dorothy Ashby “Afro-Harping” is an original first pressing on Cadet (LPS-809) still in the shrink wrap. Cover grades NM, as said, it is still in its original plastic. It has some minor corner dings, but no cut outs, no splits, no real flaws of any kind. Vinyl is similarly stunning NM. Clean, glossy, appears to have been played a very few number of times. I’m listening to the first cut, “Soul Vibrations,” and it sounds immaculate. Labels are clean and deep-grooved. Just a near flawless example of a rare jazz harp recording. You will be hard pressed to ever come up with a nicer copy, so don’t miss this one!
First and foremost, I am a collector. I go to flea markets, public auctions, yard sales, etc and pick up what I want, as well as what I think others might want. I am picky about what I buy and I know a lot of you are, so if you have any further questions, feel free to ask me and I'll attempt to be as thorough in answering you as I can. If I don't respond right away, don't worry, because you will eventually get an answer. I'm not a dealer by any means, so if my approach seems amateurish, well, it is.
GRADING SCALE: P / G / G+ / VG- / VG / VG+ / EX / NM- / NM / M-.
I am strict and conservative, because I know how picky I am. I've been told that my records are better than I grade them, so take that for what it's worth.
Shipping, payment, policy stuff: I accept cash, check (will hold item for 10 days to allow for clearance), money order and PayPal payments for domestic (U.S.) sales. Shipping is done domestically with Priority Mail ONLY and costs $5.00 (I can make exceptions to send media mail for multiple item purchases or for lots). Internationally, I accept cash in U.S. dollars and PayPal payments ONLY. I ship international items via Air Mail ONLY and the cost on that is usually $11.00. These prices are non-negotiable. U.S. customers can also purchase insurance for $1.30 (up to $50 -- can go higher if necessary, will adjust cost accordingly). I am not responsible for items lost or damaged in the mail! This is why insurance is offered. If you check my feedback, you will find many comments on my packaging, which I take great pride in, but nothing is ever guaranteed, and the USPS has been known to slip up every now and then. Finally, bidders with zero feedbacks should please contact me before bidding, as I've had too many non-paying zero feedback members in the past and I just want to make sure that you will be good for payment if you successfully win. Sorry for all this policy stuff, but I'm sure most of you understand why it is necessary. Again, thanks a lot for viewing and have fun bidding! Oh, and be sure to check my other auctions for a select number of quality records that I will be listing fairly regularly (probably weekly through the summertime, a.k.a. the prime flea market months).
