Please read this entire listing. The records you are bidding on have been cleaned ultrasonically using my own refined process (feel free to ask for more info). Each record goes through a 120 minute process of cleaning, rinsing and drying for a dramatic difference in sound quality and increased fidelity. You are bidding on vinyl records from my personal ongoing collection (started in 1976). I do my best to describe my records accurately. See my other auctions for more great vinyl. This record has been play-tested and rated below. Please understand, just because it is ultrasonically cleaned doesn?t mean it automatically sounds brand new. It means it is extremely clean. A rated VG record will still have pop, tick or crackle and not sound as good as one rated EX. ARTIST - Otis Redding ALBUM TITLE - The Dock of the Bay VOLT S-419 VINYL RATING - VG(+) COVER RATING -VG NOTES - Columbia Terre Haute Stereo pressing. 1F/1E Stampers. Plays high VG. Cover has a little creasing and bend but not bad. An overall nice original copy. Any questions, just ask (before you hit Buy it Now). I rate loosely using the Goldmine Scale (Please see below for my grading explanations and terminology). Keep in mind that different turntables produce different sound qualities and your opinion may differ slightly than mine. My rating of VG+ may be an EX to you and vice versa. I play test all my vinyl (on a Technics SL-1600 with Pickering V-15 Micro IV Cartridge set at 1.5 grams and 1.7 on the anti-skate) but do, on occasion, miss a flaw. My ratings reflect the actual sound of the vinyl in my opinion. If there is a major aesthetic flaw in the vinyl itself I will try and note it. (Please look at any and all pictures and ask questions.). Any skipping, looping, spooning, warping or known issues will be addressed in the notes. PLEASE NOTE; If you win an album with a disclosed imperfection, please don?t message me, mad because it has that issue. Thanks. My feedback speaks for itself, bid with confidence. See my other auctions for more great vinyl. RATINGS Mint 10/10: Vinyl still sealed, new in its original shrink wrap. NM 9/10: Vinyl may have a light pop or tick here and there. EX 8/10: May have light pop and tick throughout that isn?t readily noticeable, except between tracks or during soft passages. VG+ 7/10: May have light pop and tick throughout and/or moderate pop, tick or crackle here and there that is noticeable during playback but shouldn?t distract from the music. VG 6/10: Along with possible light noise throughout, moderate tick, pop or crackle as well, apparent during playback, but not overtaking the music. In my experience, the majority of vintage vinyl rates VG. VG- 5/10: Along with possible light to moderate noise throughout, loud pops, ticks or crackle present here and there, noticeable during playback. G 4/10: Loud popping, cracking or crackle throughout, heard during playback. Commonly used terms and their meanings. DEAD WAX; The area on the record between the last song and label.

I will discount shipping for multiple listings ($1.00 per each additional platter). I will send you an invoice reflecting any shipping discounts. I strive to ship next business day. I?ll send you a tracking number afterwards. I pack well, using cardboard record mailers, always minding the corners. I ship (and store my own records for that matter) in a plain paper inner sleeve unless stated otherwise. Record and cover, including original inner sleeve and any inserts (if included) will be separate, inside a plastic outer sleeve to reduce cover wear, etc. The plastic sleeve may show wear since I've owned some of these for years. Please clean all records by hand before playing. I accept PAYPAL ONLY. I will not accept any other form of payment. Thanks. I will leave positive feedback once I receive payment and ship.
