Description

You are bidding on a rare first pressing of John Coltrane’s self titled LP “Coltrane” vinyl record. This is on orange Impulse! label with Am-Par address at the bottom of the labels and Van Gelder stampings on both sides.


RECORD GRADE: VG+ (Visual & Play Graded)


DESCRIPTION: The vinyl record is visually graded in VG+ condition (superficial marks/scratches on each side and some sleeve rash). While not overly abundant, they marks are visible but do not cause any pops, skips, etc. There is some groove wear that while not overly distracting, is detectable on the quieter moments but again does not overpower the music.


COVER GRADE: VG+


DESCRIPTION: The gatefold cover is graded in VG+ condition. Please see pix for visuals. Cover overall is in very nice condition, minor wear, a scuff on the back. Lamination is fully intact. Little to no wear on seams and spine. The biggest issue and the reason for the lower grade, is rhe promo punchholes that go thru the cover as seen in the pix. Otherwise, the cover would be an EX grade. Please see pix.

NO RESERVE!!




GRADING SYSTEM:



MINT: Sealed record. I will never grade anything as mint unless it is sealed, at which time it is presumed to be mint.



NEAR MINT (NM): Typically my top grade. The record or cover will show the most minimal of wear. The record will have top gloss. The cover will be free from any ring wear, splits, or handwriting.



EXCELLENT (EX): Not quite Near Mint but a super clean, desirable record, showing a few superficial markings on the vinyl that do not affect playability and the cover free of splits, and any major ringwear.



VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+): The record or cover will show signs of wear but no significant defects. There may be superficial markings in greater abundance, potential for minor groove wear. None of the above affecting the playability to any great detriment. Cover may show signs of more significant ringwear, minor splits or seam/spine wear.



VERY GOOD (VG): Obvious signs of wear but the record still has life in it. The scratches will be more feelable resulting in minor pops or clicks. Skipping should not occur though at this grade. The cover will show greater signs of wear, (ringwear, splits, writing).



VERY GOOD MINUS (VG-): The record or cover will show moderate to heavy wear. For a common record this would not be an acceptable grade. For an in-demand, rare record it should be considered. Skips may be present as the feelable scratches will be much more prevalent. The cover will show heavy wear.



GOOD (G): Very heavy wear. This grade would only be acceptable if the record is rare enough that you might not see another copy available for sale or it's a rare record at a low price. I will rarely sell a record at this grade.
