So you know what's an amazing album? ... this. ... is an amazing album. It's a standard. And it's mono, and the original press, so I'm not sure why you haven't bought it yet?
See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (8.5 of 10) Original mono, 2-eye Columbia press. It's in really solid shape. Some light paper scuffs, and two longer, dull, scuffs ... but it plays like a dream. Not top, but pretty close to it --  and plays really close to it.
COVER: VG+ (8.0 of 10) Overall solid shape. No splits. A little seam chipping ... clearly some ringwear. But overall, strong spine, decently sharp corners, and everything is mostly as it should be. _________________________________________________________________ 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 Denon 103 MC cart; tube preamp, ST-70 tube amplification to KLH 17 speakers. A tubey system indeed!
SHIPPING: $4.99 for 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 damn compelling reason. But, I'm also an adult, and I understand there are situations, so I mean ... just talk to me if you want to return something and I'm sure we can work something out. But I 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. But please ASK QUESTIONS WHEN IN DOUBT. I promise, we can make this an easy transaction.
