Here's a HEAVY hitter! I am pretty positive I'll never see this again ... and it. sounds. amazing .... Fantastic. CLEAN copy. Not a tip top copy ... but man, it's just a small shade away from it. 
See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (9.0 of 10) First pressing, MONO copy; VAN GELDER in runouts, Ear marks, NYC labels; Deep groove (Side 1 only). Nice heavy Plastylite press. It's clean ... I see some really light paper scuffing, and a small rub mark I'm pretty sure is from the factory, and that's about it. It plays loud as hell and clear as hell. A small crackle perhaps every now and then, as a one-off here or there, but overall its got rock solid playback.
COVER: VG+ (8.0 of 10) 43 W. 61st street address. Beautiful dull gloss. Only real issue is a little cracking of the seam, top corner 3" -- NO splits though. Corners are decent. Not writing, creasing, bending ... it's nice. Even has original inner in decent shape as well. _______ 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 AT MM cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 17 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?
SHIPPING: Free 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 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 try to 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
