OVER 50 JAZZ RECORDS VINYL COLLECTION
PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO REVIEW MY 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK AS A RECORD SELLER. I TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN MAINTAINING MY 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK.
I strive to grade accurately yet conservatively.
EVERY record (besides the Andrew Hill Blue Note) is graded VG+ to NEAR MINT. My VG+ is a stellar grade. My VG+ is usually another dealer's EXCELLENT. My VG+ is a strong copy that deserves a spot in your collection.
(Please note: I grade records in the sunlight. It is usually easy to believe you have a near mint record when you look at it inside; but when you study the record in the sunlight is how you get an accurate grade. If you were to look at all these records in your living room with normal inside lighting, you would think every record in this collection was excellent or near mint).
All of these records come from my personal collection. I took the plastic sleeves off so you wouldn't get the 'glare' of the plastic in the photos. Rest assured, they will all arrive to you in a newish plastic sleeve. They have all been stored vertically in a dry, smoke-free clean environment. These are all extremely well cared for.
Please see the last picture. A listing for the almost identical Charlie Parker records that I have...just sold for over $650 for a lot of three. These Parker's are nearly impossible to come across in such insanely clean and glossy condition. These are the first press mono Savoys. You have to see them to believe how newish they look. I can't imagine too many copies this clean are out there....Most copies go for pretty cheap because they are almost always in poor condition. That recent listing reflects what these Charlie Parker OG's go for in clean condition.

CHARLIE PARKER All-Star Sextet 1958 ROOST LP-2210 Vinyl = EXCELLENT Cover = VG++
This Andrew Hill is the only one that falls below the VG+ standard. Marked VAN GELDER in dead wax, but no 'ear'. I believe this is a stereo 1st repress. This cover also falls below the VG+ standard, only one of two in the whole collection. Cover has major wear along bottom, but is still aesthetically pleasing.
ANDREW HILL Smokestack BLUE NOTE 84160 Vinyl = VG Cover =VG Record is generally VG, almost VG+. The biggest defect is one 'unfeelable' mark on side 2 going across the first track. It is completely inaudible. Like all Blue Notes, the record sounds MUCH better than it looks visually. Sounds VG in places, EXCELLENT in other places. Cover is really nice except for the bottom. Please zoom in on picture.

I HAVE SHIPPED THOUSANDS OF RECORDS AND I HAVE A EXCELLENT PACKAGING METHOD TO ENSURE THEY ARRIVE TO YOU IN THE SAME CONDITION THEY ARE CURRENTLY IN.
PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO REVIEW MY 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK AS A RECORD SELLER. I AM PROUD OF MY FEEDBACK AND STRIVE TO SELL ONLY QUALITY VINYL I AM KNOWN TO GRADE CONSERVATIVELY AND FAIRLY.
RECORD GRADING IS AS FOLLOWS: VG+ = A record that may be somewhat noisy in spots, but not noisy enough to significantly distract from the music. There will perhaps be some surface and hairline marks, but again, not deep enough to cause a pop or tic. (MY VG+ record will have NO tics or pops) There may be paper scuff marks on the vinyl. The original 'gloss' or shiny luster might be somewhat faded. Perhaps the label has some writing on it. This is the record that you would find at a thrift store or yard sale and be pleasantly surprised by the quality. Overall, a record worth having in your collection, a keeper. PLEASE NOTE THAT I GRADE CONSERVATIVELY. MY VG+ IS LIKELY ANOTHER DEALERS VG++ OR EXCELLENT.
VG++ = A record that may be slightly noisy in places. There will still be most of it's original gloss or shiny luster to the vinyl. Perhaps the vinyl is excellent otherwise, but has some light noise in one specific area (which would be noted). There may be an inconsequential hairline mark or two, and even paper scuffs from being pulled out of the sleeve. A record that holds its value and is in enviable condition.
EXCELLENT = A record that will have most or all of its' original gloss and shine. Surface marks are superfluous and minimal. The record sounds very clean and clear and any slight noise will be short-lived and basically inconsequential. The label has no writing on it. This record is close to being near mint and earns a space on the TOP SHELF of your record collection.
NEAR MINT = A record that has been opened and played very minimally, if at all. Only about 5% of used records earn this grading. There will be noise at all and no surface marks. This record is 100% sparkling clean and glossy with superb sound. TOP SHELF. I ALWAYS OFFER A 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH YOUR RECORD
