John Coltrane’s “‘LIVE’ AT THE VILLAGE VANGUARD” FROM 1962.  Label A-10-S / RVG

First stereo pressing.  Gatefold with lamination.  Rudy Van Gelder-engineer.

Runout in deadwax Side 1:  AS-10-A  LW RVG STEREO.  Runout in deadwax Side 2:  AS-10-B  RVG STEREO.

LP is VG+ (if not better) and sleeve is strong VG.

Wonderful listening experience!  Very little surface noise.  Original inner sleeve has approximate 3” split in bottom center, slight crease on one corner and has full split on one side.  Outer sleeve front has a little lamination coming off in lower right and has slight corner ding. Center bottom of outer sleeve has minor wear in bottom center.  Upper right and lower left outer sleeve has minor corner dings. Spine is fantastic. Gatefold is bright with no obvious flaws. Reverse of outer sleeve has a minor flaw in lower right center.  

Please carefully review all provided photos for condition assessment.

My grading is GENERALLY conservative, as I do not want to misrepresent an item.  So, condition may be better than advertised in some cases. We know grading is subjective in nature, but I always err on the side of caution.

As the Goldmine Grading Scale is the industry-standard, most of my visual inspections are based on these guidelines...some may be in line with Goldmine, some may vary as there are many interpretations of condition.  I try to take photos of each issue I find. I also try to list major, obvious flaws in the description section. Again, I try to be prudent. If you notice something conflicting, let me know! This is an inexact science.

Occasionally, due to age or storage conditions, items may emit a musty smell.  Unfortunately, the natural properties of paper do not react well to humidity and moisture.  Many seasoned collectors understand this notion...as it is a common condition that is sometimes unavoidable and irreversible.  Individuals who are new to the world of vinyl may see this as a conditional issue. Regrettably, sometimes this cannot be avoided.  It is yet another example of the complicated nature of assessing LP condition.

As for inner sleeves, if the original sleeve is missing, I will provide a new replacement.

All LP's will be carefully packed and shipped in boxes specifically designed for this type of media.  I try to do what I can to mitigate shipping mishandling that periodically results in damage.

If at any point you have questions or concerns, or require additional information, photos, etc., please do not hesitate to send me a message. I will be more than happy to try to help clarify.
