So ... OK, here it is. Very rarely do I find these ... heed that warning. Review info below:
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG+ (7.6 of 10) 1D/1G, Deep groove, 6-eye, White Label Promo, MONO ... good lord that's amazing. Anyway, I'll keep the editorials to a minimum. Surface has great gloss, Some dull marks, a few whisps. Scuffing is minimal. Overall nicely preserved. Plays with light crackle at very opening, then disappears quite quickly. A light crackle every now and then, sometimes of a few rotations. But it's quite clean. Not without flaws, and light background noise on and off, but quite nice in general ... certainly better than many 6-eye pressings I normally find. Fidelity is quite high, but not noiseless.
COVER: VG- (5.5 of 10) Heavy aging and wear. 3" Split bottom; 3" top, botenings. Heavy chipping to seams and spine -- holding together, but quite fragile. Clearly a sticker on front. But art is still there, liner notes are fine, it presents well. Not the best, but not awful by any means. _______ 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 17 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.
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
