What you're looking at: Super rad album! Chet Baker in NEW YORK! OK, enough hype. This album is the blue label, deep groove, OG Riverside pressing! The album and jacket are both in solid VG+ shape -- see below for the details. There is a small drill hole in the cover and label.

How it stacks up:

RECORD: VG+ (7.5 of 10) Some light surface hairlines, but nothing deep at all, nothing feelable, and very few playing issues. I've played it quite a few times, and it's very enjoyable -- the only defects would be a very light pop every now and then, but very minimal. Great gloss, high shine. Small drill hole in label -- see picture.

SLEEVE: VG+ (8.0 of 10) Nothing wrong except 2.5" on top are taped at the opening. Solid spine, great gloss. Small drill hole.

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!
