2 ORIG SUN RA LP's Soul Vibrations of Man & Art-Forms DimensionTomorrow Saturn
Artist: Sun Ra
Title: The Soul Vibrations of Man &
Art-Forms From Dimension Tomorrow
Format: LP
Vinyl Grade:
The Soul Vibrations of Man - Excellent.
Art-Forms From Dimension Tomorrow - One side is defective. Side A is in nice excellent shape but side B has some kind of pressing defect in which a section of the LP is a bit lighter in shade and plays wih surface noise as the needle passes over that section. I have provided a picture where my fingers show the section on the side I am talking about. Side A is graded EX and Side B is graded Poor. This can still be purchased as a collectible because this is the very first LP where Sun Ra starts to venture out into space...and can still be acquired to enjoy side A, which is why I'm includng both of these LP's as a package deal.
Cover Grade: Generic covers.
Note: Both are original Saturn releases. No description is necessary because these Sun Ra gems practically sell themselves. Always quality & always tapping into something deeper....something cosmic. NO RESERVE.
Shipping: Records shipped in record maillers with the record removed to avoid
seam splits. Domestic LP orders sent Media Mail for $4.00. International rates vary according to the destination and will be charged for PRIORITY shipping with tracking due to the high value of this item.
IMPORTANT RECORD BUSINESS!!
The universally-accepted record grading system is comically flawed and leaves much to subjective interpretation. Since I sell mostly records from the ’60s and ‘70s (and to some degree from the ‘80s), I am dealing in records that are 40 to 50 years, with an unknown history of care. It is amazing how well many of these records sound today with the way they were taken care of but there is no way I can guarantee that my subjective grading will agree with yours! Since it is so ‘flaky’, don’t have a cow if we disagree.
IMPORTANT: If we happen to disagree and on any grading, please do not be rude about it and please do not ask for a partial refund AND to keep the record. It's simple, if you do not want to keep the record then just return it for a full refund. I will happily pay for return shipping if I am the one at fault. I do my best to grade albums by inspecting them and listening to them. Again, this system is not error-proof because the grading parameters are not concrete....so PLEASE, be patient and kind and I will do my best to earn your stisfaction if it wasn't already earned by receiving the item.
I have outstanding feedback and that is not by chance. If you read my feedback, the repetitive themes are outstanding customer service, honest communication, and equitable resolution of issues.
One of my biggest gripes is eBay’s feedback. eBay has set up a very elaborate feedback system but unfortunately, eBay has not set out the parameters for giving feedback or DSR ratings. Each buyer just does whatever he/she wants and this leads to chaos but yet eBay uses feedback as its barometer on determining each seller’s future. This reduces some sellers to begging to do anything to avoid low marks and further empowers buyers to extract as much’s they can get from groveling sellers who seem terrified of a negative or a 1 or 2. Without eBay parameters on what constitutes successful seller performance, feedback means very little.
The SUBJECTIVE GRADING I use is:
SS = "Still Sealed" NM = "Near Mint" VG++/ EX = "Excellent" VG+ = "Very Good Plus" VG = "Very Good" VG- - "Very Good Minus" G+ - "Good Plus" F = "Fair" P = "Poor"Please review all pictures before buying. We also try to ship our products in used boxes to help the environment.
