Description
What you're looking at: Man. This album right here is amazing. It's from my collection, and I really want to keep it, but I'm getting to the point where I want everything in amazing shape. This copy is respectable, but not amazing -- but it is very rare as well. The vinyl plays well, except some light background noise. It's pretty low, and normally it wouldn't bother me, but on the very first track it's pretty much all bass and Burrell, so the needle picks up essentially every small pop. Side 2 is VG+, side 1 gets a VG for the light noise. The cover is OK, and VG. The top seam is taped and the bottom has about 2" of tape.
Be sure to ask questions if needed, and examine the pictures -- I put plenty up.
How it stacks up:
RECORD: VG (VG+ side 2) (7.0 of 10) The real deal. RVG stamp in runout, 63rd labels (no R), deep grooves, and ears. Side 1 has a few light hairlines (pretty light) No jumps or skips at all, just some light noise. Side 2 is pretty solid at VG+ -- perhaps a very, slight hairline here or there, but very nice overall. Pretty heavy press
SLEEVE: VG (6.5 of 10) Some chipping at the bottom corner. Top on top seam, and 2" on bottom. Great gloss.
ATTENTION: I am now pleased to say that all records are vacuum cleaned prior to shipping!!
MY GRADING SCALE:
OK, my goal is to be as specific as I can without being too wordy. I give one of these (from worst to best): G, VG-, VG, VG+, VG++. That's it. No more letters, thus VG++ is an amazing record.
NM, and M, do NOT exist in this grading scale.
AFTER THE GENERAL GRADING SCALE, I have a number, which is meant to be more specific. I find that a number is more specific than a general opinion. This is meant to give you a more-specific idea of what you are getting into audio-quality wise.
- I play with a customized Thorens TD 165 with a Denon 103 MM cartridge (YEAH!!) through Polk Speakers and a Pioneer receiver.
RETURNS: I do offer a TWO week grace period for returns (that means the buyer pays shipping to me). I give plenty of chances to see what you’re buying (audio clips if you wish, emails, two part grading system and a full policy description) and, as I see it, the buyer has as much responsibility as the seller to a) know what they are buying and b) have the decency to ask prior to purchase.
US COMBINED SHIPPING: I charge a flat rate of $4 for one record, which covers postage, plastic sleeves, replacement inserts, shipping boxes, etc … If you purchase more, it is $1 extra for each record.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I do ship overseas, but CHECK THE QUOTE BEFORE BIDDING!!
I hope this answers all questions and concerns; however, if it doesn’t, EMAIL ME. Cheers!
