This LP is really clean ... ultra gloss on this one. It's nice. I suggest you don't miss this one.
See below for more detail:

VINYL: VG+ (9.2 of 10) Early Stereo press. I believe from '67. VAN GELDER stamps in runout, and it sounds it. It's beautiful. Looks rarely played. One super tiny hint from absolute top copy, based on visuals only. It plays tip top. Has 2-3 really light whisp marks on side 2 -- plays through with zero issues. Gloss is very well preserved.
COVER: VG+ (9.0 of 10) Great cover. Gloss is great. A little storage wear and that's about it really. Strong seams, strong spine, It doesn't appear to have been used much. Includes original, crispy inner sleeve ... it's a very, very sold copy overall. _______ 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 6 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. 
Also NOTE: My post is notorious for not updating tracking until the next hub. So if there's a few days without an update, do not worry. I usually drop off my packages the day after the sale ... it is on the way, and the tracking is simply lagging. This has been a standard issue with my post office for quite some time now.
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
