Please note that all of my records came from the collection of one serious audiophile. He cleaned the disks with best techniques, and maintained the disks in excellent shape.

CHARLES MINGUS Ah Um LP EX/VG+ Columbia CS 8171 1966 stereo

Disk is EX condition. Listened carefully to both sides: there is minimal surface noise that is barely noticeable. Sound is great, clear, clean, and satisfying.

Jacket is VG+ condition, with some minor wear visible (see photo). NO seam splits.


Songlist is available in the photo


General comment: I usually conduct grading of disks by both visual inspection and listening to at least one side of the album, which is reflected in the comments on the disk grade. All the records in this collection were cared for with love, and cleaned using the best professional techniques. The previous owner listened to these disks on a top-line stereo system, and cleaned them to make sure they were free of all dust and dirt. Sometimes there will be surface abrasions, which can usually be seen in the photographs I take of the disks.

Shipping for 1 record is a flat rate of $4.00 via media mail (USA Only, all locations).  Priority Mail upgrade: I set the rate at $10.25, but it varies by location so I recommend not paying until I can pack the item and send an invoice with the actual shipping amount (I might be able to save you a couple dollars!)


INTERNATIONAL: I WILL INVOICE BUYER WITH ACCURATE SHIPPING COST FOR USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL MAIL

NO shipping to Italy. Italian postal service is notorious for theft. I will cancel bids from buyers in Italy.

International shipping, by USPS First Class International, typically runs at about $18 for Asia; $17 for Europe, and $11 for Canada. I add protective packaging to records like this, which makes the cost of shipping a little higher. DO NOT pay until I send invoice.


Records are packed in a 12" record mailing box, with a cardboard insert for more safety.

Combined shipping: If buying multiple items I will weigh them and send you an invoice of the actual shipping cost.

Please note that I will be listing a couple thousands records in coming months.
