What you're looking at: Hey everyone: Have some cool listings coming up -- I'm thinning the collection a bit. I'm getting some of the dreaded CDs !!!! NOOOO!!!!! ... But seriously, I dig the RVG remaster series. ANYWAY:

Fantastic LP -- haven't heard volume 1 yet, but man is Grant Green (and Turrentine) good in this. The LP is a solid VG. The only real issue I have when I play the LP is some background noise on the first half of the first track -- I actually think it may be a pressing imperfection. But, it's light. There are a few scattered hairlines, but overall it's pretty enjoyable. The cover is in good shape. Some corner dings, but that's about it. Good gloss, good seams.

How it stacks up:

RECORD: VG (6.0 of 10) RVG etching (not stamp). Deep groove, ears, Side 2 NY, side 1 63rd. Handful of light hairlines (mostly side 1). Overall, good player as long as you can handle a little background noise.

SLEEVE: VG+ (7.5 of 10) Slightly dinged up bottom left corner. Some aging, that's about it. Solid glossing.

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!
