Description
Well here's a bit of a gem! Never seen this in mono even! Come snag it!!
See below for more detail:
VINYL: Strong VG (7.0 of 10) First pressing, WHITE LABEL MONO ALERT, 2-eye label. The LP has a few light whisp marks on each side, and one spot ... perhaps a pressing imperfection. I can't be for sure. I loved spinning this one. Most of it is all VG+ play, but I formally gave it a VG rating because of the visuals of the disk -- it's not bad, just not what I'd like to see out of a VG+, if that makes sense. But the playback is quite nice.
COVER: G (3.0 of 10) Not a great sleeve. Tape on top, about 7" of the spine is split, probably 4-5" of the bottom, clear wear, and some moisture damage on top. Decent vinyl, awful sleeve. _______ 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
