Description
What you're looking at: Yes! A classic! Deep groove, 63rd address, Ears on both sides, RVG stamps, heavy cardboard sleeve, mono Blue Note. Don't miss out.
How it stacks up:
RECORD: Weak VG/VG- (5.0 of 10) Not a horrible VG-, but don't expect crystal-clear sound. Light surface scratches throughout (most look like needle drops). The noise isn't horrible, but you will hear it as you play; however, a large portion of the time the music outweighs the noise
SLEEVE: VG+ (7.0 of 10) For an original Blue Note, it looks fantastic. The corner looks like it had a bump, but there are no splits! There is some light discoloration, but it still has a great gloss.
MY GRADING SCALE (I.E. NOT ANYBODY ELSE’S):
OK, my goal is to be as specific as I can without being ridiculously wordy. I give one of these (from worst to best): G, G+, VG-, VG, VG+, VG++. That is it. No more letters, thus VG++ is a very good record. NM does NOT exist in my scale.
AFTER THE GENERAL GRADING SCALE, I have a second number in parenthesis, which is meant to be more specific. I find that a number is more specific than a general sector of opinion, thus the number will be between 1 and 10. This is meant to give you a more-specific idea of what you are getting into audio quality wise, the former is more for visual.
That being said, I play with a customized Thorens TD 165 (YEAH BOY!!) through Polk Speakers and a Pioneer receiver.
RETURNS: Generally returns are a no go, unless you have a compelling reason; also, I will give a TWO week grace period for exchanges (that means the buyer pays shipping back to me if they want a return). I give plenty of chances to see what you’re buying (audio clips, 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.
COMBINED SHIPPING: I charge a flat rate of $4 for one record, which covers postage, plastic sleeves, replacement inserts, shipping boxes, etc … After that, if you purchase more, it is $1 extra for each record domestically.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I now will ship overseas of whatever the quote is. so CHECK THE QUOTE BEFORE BIDDING!!
I really hope this answers all questions and concerns; however, if it doesn’t, EMAIL ME. Other than that, bid happily.
