Additional Notes:

I ship all vinyl in 2 mil high-density polyethylene anti-static inner sleeves. The outer jacket is shipped in a re-sealable 3 mil clear polypropylene cover to prevent damage. The outer poly jacket has a fold-over flap and long-lasting adhesive strip to seal the LP jackets against pollutants, and to prevent scuffs during shipping.  The vinyl is shipped outside of the outer jacket to prevent seam splits. Both the vinyl and jacket are places between cardboard stiffeners and shipped in a LP shipping box. I believe you will be satisfied with the effort I put into shipping your purchase.


This well preserved record comes from a single collector who lived for Jazz in the 50's. He would often pre-order the records at his small town local record shop, often getting the first pressings.

We will gladly except returns within 14 days after receipt, for full credit. It is the responsibility of the buyer to pay return freight.

 

A SPECIAL NOTES REGARDING RECORD GRADING:

Unless you buy a vinyl record that is SEALED, MINT, or NEAR-MINT condition, there will always be some type of surface sounds. If the LP has been played a couple of times, it can never be perfect. This is especially noticeable during quiet passages.

Ratings and Definitions of LP Conditions in order to avoid confusion:

Grading per Goldmine Standard

Mint
Unopened, still factory sealed or opened but has no visible marks, looks unplayed

N/Mint
Near Perfect, played rarely if ever. Might have very minor amount 1 to 5% of very slight superficial paper scuffs do not affect play, otherwise mint

VG+
Some slight signs of wear will have slight sleeve scuffs or lite hairline scratches, could have very light background noise in quiet sections

VG
Surface noise will be noticeable will not overpower the music, more noticeable scuffs and light scratches will show on the surface

VG-
Vinyl will play but may have surface noise on some tracts, signs of heavy use or wear
