Description of present selling

Zoot Sims/ Joe Newman "Locking Horns" on RAMA RLP1003. Another exceptional rarity in great condition. Mono deep groove both sides.

Sound is loud and clear, a very few flaws, hard to find again in the same condition.

Side1 : Ex+ (9/10 ),  visual Ex with superficial sleeve marks. Audio is Ex+, only flaw is 3 soft tics on track 3. My initial signature in pencil paper (removable) in the left piano hand of the label.

Side2 : Ex (8/10),  same visual Ex with superficial sleeve marks except a little area of very fin

Cover : Ex (8/10),  At first cover seems perfect with immaculate shiny front laminated ! Downgraded only because of 5,5 cm tearing on right upper seam, neatly repeared with glue from inside. Also a touch of browning on back and a little price written in blue ball pen. Nothing else to mention so in the end not far from Ex+(see photos).

My grading scale is simple with letters and figures to improve understanding. I grade each side of the record separately (first side then second side) and in the end the cover. I precise the grading with specific informations for each side and cover.

I do not grade inner sleeve (possible tearing or tape on it). If you’re interested in inner sleeve condition, feel free to ask…

The scale of grading is : VG-(5/10)  VG(6/10)  VG+(7/10)  EX(8/10)  EX+(9/10)

To be more precise

EX+ : a superb record with extremely few light flaws if any, maximum of 10 seconds of repetitive tics per side or less.

EX : a very nice records with few marks, maximum of 30 seconds of repetitive tics per side or less.

VG+ : still a nice record but with a bit more marks with a few lightly feelable, maximum of 1mn30 seconds of repetitive tics per side or less.

VG   : a record with some marks feelable or not, no skips still enjoyable with portions of background tics, maximum of 2 to 3 mn of repetitive tics per side.

VG- : a very used record, not trashed but with numerous feelable marks, still no skips but expect maximum of 5 mn of repetitive tics per side or a bit less.

Very strict regarding collectors should only bid on EX and EX+ records. I didn't have a record cleaning machine and all records could benefit an ultrasonic cleaning. To improve sound, records should also be listened to with a stylus in good shape (less than a year).

Packaging

I do my best to protect records and to avoid damages during shipping as I’m a long time collector by myself. I send LP(s) in inner sleeve, out of cover to prevent splitting during the shipping and with two strong carboard sleeves each side (one up /one down).  I use strong cardboard boxes.
