Up for auction:
Artist: Wynton Kelly  Title: Kelly Blue 
Vinyl Description: Deep groove blue/silver Riverside Mic & Reel labels  Visual / Play Grade: G. Vinyl is a strong G+, maybe VG. There's some longer lines that don't seem to affect playback much. Plays a strong VG maybe even VG+. Graded G overall because I noticed a small jump in the music in A2 and then again in A3. Not repeating skips, just minor jumps in the music, but they should be noted. 
Cover:  VG; just some general age wear; spine is legible; bottom edge has some light wear, no split; top edge shows wear and has a clean half split

A little extra info about my auctions:
First off, thank you for stopping by and taking a look. If you have any questions about anything, please let me know. I'm usually pretty quick to respond. Below you'll find shipping, grading notes and other general information I think you might need. Thanks!
Grading Notes:
All records that are listed receive a FULL recent play test (sometimes twice). As far as the grade goes, I'll generally do a visual grade and a grade from my recent play test. I've found this is the best way to do it since a lot of these play better than they look, but occasionally that isn't the case. Essentially everything has been VPI cleaned and put into a new, upgraded inner sleeve. Most of the time your record will not come with the original inner sleeve, sometimes it will. I will always try to note if it will be included and picture it (will not be graded). If you want to know for sure, please ask.
Mint: Not a grade I'll be using NM: A grade I'll use sparingly, if at all. Pretty much prefect all around. EX: Might have a few very light marks, but nothing that has any affect on play. Could have a second or two of noise but is basically perfect VG+: A few more light marks and scuffs, but nothing deep. Could have a couple moments of light noise but nothing that gets in the way of the music VG: A fair amount of marks to each side. Some moments of noise but they listen is still highly enjoyable.  G+: Lots of marks to each side and probably some that can be felt. Will likely still be enjoyable but will have some noisy moments. It is possible there is a jump in the music, not a repeating skip. I'll do my very best to note these G: Will look pretty rough with marks that can be felt and scuffs. Will play with heavier noise throughout. Will also likely have a repeating skip, jump or other major flaw to be noted. Poor: I don't think I have any of these, but just flat out rough and probably unlistenable.
Cover Grading: I'll always offer a general grade/opinion on the cover, but I think the pictures really tell the best story. Please refer to those for the best information. I will always describe the spine and edges for any splits or major wear. If you have any questions, please ask.

Shipping Notes:
All items are shipped via USPS Media Mail and packaged very carefully. Media Mail is $5 and $1 for each additional LP. If you require a shipping upgrade or insurance, please let me know after the auction and I'll make the adjustment. Your item, most likely, will be shipped within 24 hours of payment. One thing I did notice with my last batch of auctions is the current slowness of the USPS. Please be patient. Everything has taken a long time to arrive but it has all gotten there. I hate it too, but it seems to be the case right now.
International shipping is $26 and $3 for each extra (up to a point). I think I've got it set up correctly now, but if you want to bid on an item and cannot, please contact me and I'll see what I can do. If you order 4+ LPs from me, we will discuss after the auction the best and cheapest way for you to get your records.  

Other Notes:
Anything I've graded G+ or worse is sold AS IS. All international orders are sold AS IS. I will accept returns on US orders only and I will not do partial refunds. No payment/communication after five days will cancel the order. 
Thanks for stopping by and best of luck! Thanks!
