Up for auction:
Artist: Cecil Taylor   Title:  Conquistador!
Vinyl Description: Liberty labels (mono); no RVG or Van Gelder in dead wax Visual / Play Grade: VG; Side one has one longer line on A1 that DNAP, otherwise it's just some light marks and is closer to VG+. The side plays VG+ or better with only a brief moment or two of very light noise. Side two is more VG visually, with just a few extra light marks. The side plays perfectly fine with just some very light noise occasionally. A very solid copy of this rarity.
Cover: G+; Nothing too wrong with the cover, just some areas of wear. Top and bottom edge are split a few inches at the opening. Light ring wear. Name written on back. Mono promo/audition sticker on the front cover. Spine fully legible.    

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, I'm more than happy to help.
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. Handling time says two days, but 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. It seems to take a long time for them to get their second scan, usually in Memphis. If this is the case, please be patient, everything has shown up as it should, just a little longer than expected. I hate it too, but it seems to be the case with the USPS 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 and relist the item (eventually).
Thank you for stopping by and best of luck!
