Hello,

I am a serious audiophile that has much to many records and am now selling the majority of my collection.  It includes Rock, Jazz, Folk and Classical music, but I now lack the space to maintain such a huge library of albums.  So my loss is your gain!

 

I have bought and sold stereo and photographic equipment over many years on ebay and have a perfect 100% feedback rating so you can purchase with confidence.

 

This is the moment of truth for Audiophile Jazz Lovers. If you are reading this ad, then you know this is the statement version of one of the greatest jazz records of all time.  What more can be said about Brilliant Corners and this instantly famous audiophile record on the Electric Recording Company label that has not been said before!! The Electric Recording LP records are the ultimate pressed and sounding vinyl out there … period.  Super Rare Mono Pressing!!! Only 300 made and out of print the day after it came out! Still packed in its custom protective wrapping paper.

 

A record that belongs in everyone’s collection but only the few will possess it; it will test the limits of your system! 

 

You will love this record!!

 

Vinyl Grade:   Sealed

Cover Grade:  M/Sealed

Grading

 

Unless otherwise noted, records are visually graded. 

 

Instead of providing a combined rating for the vinyl and cover, I think it is better to grade them separately. 

 

Vinyl: 

 

Mint: A brand new, SEALED record; never played. 

 

NM: The vinyl looks as good as if you had just opened the seal on the record. This is the best grade that should be given to any unsealed record. 

 

NM-: This record is NM but has some very, very minor signs that it has been played, such as slight spindle marks and one or two very superficial marks. Should play without surface noise.  

 

VG++: Excellent. Has several light cosmetic flaws, blemishes, or scuffs that may begin affect the sound minimally. You should only hear only a few soft ticks, if any. 

 

VG+: More pronounced cosmetic surface marks; light scratches that will result in more surface noise or short soft ticks should not overwhelm the sound. 

 

VG: Cosmetically, appear to have more scratches, more pronounced than you would find in my VG+ records. These are still fine for general listening.

 

Covers: 

 

M: sealed and pristine. 

 

NM: Unsealed, may have the original shrink wrap, and no marks or wear. 

 

NM-: Minor signs of wear, including small hairline creases, slight edge wear and tiny corner dings. 

 

VG++: Larger creases, barely noticeable ring outline (not worn), and modest wear and corner dings. 

 

VG+: Deeper creases and corner wear, more pronounced ring marks (wearing becomes noticeable), small seam splits, slight writing, or sticker residue. 

 

VG: Larger writing on the cover, ring wear, creases, seam splits, clear tape on the cover, and other marks that are significant and detract from, but do not yet overwhelm the cover. 

 

Good: The cover is significantly worn. 

 

Refund Policy

 

To be very clear -- because this is a factory sealed record there will be no return. It is sold "as is" and cannot be guaranteed against defects of any kind once opened. If you have any questions please ask before bidding. 

 

Shipping

 

Shipping is by USPS Media Mail at $4.00 per individual record. 

 

I will use a cardboard box specially designed for LPs, however I am not responsible for any damages that occur during shipping.  Again, if you have any questions please ask before bidding.
