MONO ALERT -- Sleeve isn't so great. Vinyl is nice and clean though ... beautiful player ... Keeping it up for a few days as a Buy it Now. If no interest, it will be auctioned off.

See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (8.7 of 10) New York address; Ear; VAN GELDER stamp in runouts; HEAVY press; OG MONO copy. It also has what I would define as near deep grooves -- mostly on side 1. It's clean ... a few really light whisps ... but holy cow. Loud mono goodness. ... it's pretty majestic.
COVER: G (3.5 of 10) Here's the ugly of it. Cover has: Handling wear, moisture damage on top, a little tearing on back, and 7" split bottom seam, 4" split top seam, and chipping to the spine. So it's technically holding together -- but not well. BUT, the art is generally OK, and you can still read all the liner notes fine.  _______ 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
