Vintage 11 LP Lot #26: "The Organ Plays Music For A Merry Christmas" Box Set Plus Organ and Chimes Records from Ken Griffin, Jesse Crawford and others
Comments:
This lot contains a nice collection of Christmas organ and chimes music. Nothing conjures up Christmas feelings like organ and chimes! The count of 11 LPs includes 4LPs in a box set plus 7 other LPs.
This collection of LPs is sold As-Is. I did a visual inspection of each LP. All look playable, but looks can be deceiving. It is possible that some of them might not play well. THE RECORDS HAVE NOT BEEN CLEANED AND THE RECORDS HAVE NOT BEEN PLAY-TESTED. I believe that most, if not all of these records should be playable and sound good, but you never know until you clean them up and give them a spin. Most of these records should have plenty of life left and plenty of enjoyment to offer.
Please see the photos for the titles offered in this lot.
As with any old records that have been handled, there is a chance that one or more could have defects that affect playability. At the very least, some crackle, ticks, clicks and other record noise should be expected.
Visual Record Condition: The vinyl condition varies, but all records are visually in the VG to VG+ range for condition with the majority in VG condition. Most still have at least some gloss. Some have surface scuffs and some have light scratches. You should expect to have to clean some or most of these records to get the best sound and best playback. You'll see dust and maybe fingerprints and other spots before cleaning.
Record Labels Condition: Varies, but most are fine.
Jacket Type and Condition: The jackets are generally in VG condition - some better, some worse. Expect to encounter various kinds of defects like moderate to heavier general wear, creases, dents, seam splits, taped seams, writing, stains, foxing, moisture marks, etc. Most of these LPs have writing or a sticker on the back sides of the covers from a previous owners habits. You may notice a little faint, old-record mustiness in some.
Inner Sleeve Type and Condition: Some of the records are in new, replacement white paper inner sleeves. Some are in original inner sleeves with some wear.
Play Test Notes and Tips For Best Play Results: I did not play test these LPs. Some will sound better than others. Expect varying levels of record surface noise and crackle and you'll probably not be disappointed. Even the most crackly ones will probably produce great sounding music.
Getting better results by cleaning the LPs before playing: Before I play most old records that look a bit dirty, I usually clean them. If lightly soiled, a record cleaning cloth with some record cleaning solution might do the trick. But for dirtier records, washing works pretty well. It's not hard. Washing has the potential to affect labels, but doesn’t normally cause any harm. This is how I do it: Lay out a bath towel next to the kitchen sink and place a record on it. Add a little dish soap to warm water in the sink. Dip a soft cloth, suitable for record cleaning, in the soaped water and wring out much of the water. I use a record cleaning sponge that is designed to be safe for records. Gently rub the dampened cloth over one side of the record following the grooves in a circular motion as much as is needed to pick up dust and some fingerprints. Repeat for the other side. Rinse both sides with cool or warm (not hot) running water and place the record on a drier part of the bath towel. Use a hand towel to press the record gently from the top side to get most of the moisture off the labels and grooves. Flip the record and repeat the drying. Let the record stand for a while in a drying rack if you have one, or securely leaning against something while allowing air flow. Sometimes extra attention is needed to remove stubborn specks ... If You Run Into A
Problem Playing A Record: Something that I have learned is that if a record
skips, sticks/repeats or has a few loud pops, the problem can often be fixed. Sure – if the
cause is a bad scratch or gouge or a warp - there might not be much hope. But often the
cause of the problem is a speck. Very small specks of sleeve dust or other tiny
debris can adhere to an LP surface from the pressure of sitting jam-packed on
the shelf for years. These little specks can cause skips, sticks/repeats and loud pops. The
good news is that a targeted drop of liquid and a soft record cleaning cloth will often
remove such specks and restore play to normal or at least make things much
better. So don’t give up on a seemingly faulty record without executing a
careful search and destroy mission to eliminate specks.
Shipping Notes: A significant portion of the cost of this lot is made up of postage and shipping materials costs. These may be shipped with the records inside of the jackets unless you specifically ask that I remove the records from the jackets. I generally pack and ship items sold right away and hand them over to the post office at the earliest opportunity (sometimes same day, sometimes next day).
Please see the photos to check out the condition for yourself to the extent possible. Zoom right in and have a good look. Ask questions if you are puzzled by anything.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOCAL PICKUP RULES: If Free Local Pickup is offered for this item and you choose that option instead of an option to have the item shipped to you, there are a few rules to be aware of. We both have to allocate time to make a pickup work smoothly, so please understand the local pickup rules. Don't choose free local pickup if you are expecting the item to be shipped to you (obviously). That won't work. Don't choose free local pickup if you live far far away, but think you might be in the area someday. That won't work. Pickup arrangements will always be made for a specific date and time, very close to the purchase date. Please don't ask me to hold something for extended periods of time. Pickup arrangements will be made after payment is received for the item. I will specify a location to meet. Payment must be made through eBay as soon as the item is purchased, just like for items shipped though USPS or UPS. No payments will be accepted in person. Failure to pay for the item in a timely manner may result in order cancellation. eBay provides a method to confirm the item has been picked up. At the time of this writing, that method is a QR code plus a six-digit code that can be found by looking at order details or in an email from eBay. YOU MUST BRING THE PICKUP CONFIRMATION CODE WITH YOU FOR EVERY ITEM TO BE PICKED UP. I can't hand over the item(s) without first scanning the pickup confirmation code(s). The codes can be printed or can be presented on your phone (eBay app or email). Items purchased for local pickup must be picked up in a timely manner, preferably the day of purchase or the next day. If you need more time than that to pickup your purchase, we must make arrangements before the item is purchased. Orders not picked up in a timely manner, as described, are subject to cancellation and the item will be relisted for sale. Failure to show up for the arranged pickup meeting will result in order cancellation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
