Description
If you want something more than classic Blue Notes offer, but less than free jazz all out, this is the perfect middle. It's pushing jazz forward while still retaining a bit of that structure a lot of people dig. I'm a big fan of this one, and I suggest it to pretty much anyone dabbling in something more than straight bop.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG+ (9.5 of 10) OG Blue Note press, New York labels, Ear and VAN GELDER in runout. MONO! Clearly this vinyl didn't see a lot of play. Lucky for the future owner, it's pretty much top shape. It looks like a little storage wear, but man it plays, and it's pretty amazing. No real scratches or scuffing either. It's top vinyl shape for sure.
COVER: VG+ (8.5 of 10) No seam splits! Seam wear, yes. Splits, no. The cover was handled, but never abused. I'd say the cover looks as it should with normal age, and even better because there is no splitting, tearing, writing, stamping, etc ... a very solid cover indeed.
_________________________________________________________________ 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, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 17 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
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 if there's a serious problem, I'm sure we can figure it out with a return. I mean, I am an adult ... allegedly. But I do 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
