Cecil Taylor Nuits de Fondation Maeght Vol. 3 vinyl LP.  Vinyl is super clean and great player, NM/NM.
From my massive personal CD and LP collection which I'm slowly liquidating every week so my wife doesn't have to deal with it later.
I grade every LP I sell VERY conservatively since there are too many sellers on eBay and elsewhere gouging people and jumping on a trend.  I never bought LP's in less than VG+ condition and I won't sell them without being completely upfront about condition and provenance.  (I can't tell you how many LP's I bought only to be disappointed when they arrived in less than advertised condition so that won't happen here)
We don't have kids or pets so these LP's were kept in a clean, safe environment away from the elements and were professionally cleaned when I purchased them and probably played only a few times or once even.
Payment within two days of close of auction and package will be shipped within two business days, often same day.
Thanks for looking!
Please Read regarding Covers:
 I provide photos for you to look at, these photos should serve as the final word on the condition of a cover, I typically use VERY GOOD (VG) as a base template grade here on eBay.  If I think it's better I will spell that out.

 I don't list much below VG, but sometimes a playable record of some rarity will have a bad cover. I will spell that out.

Expect these possibilities on covers:
Ring wear, light splits, writing, spine wear, punch holes, tape jobs, cut outs, promo and or record store ink stamps, price stickers, and or price sticker residue.  An assigned grade is just my opinion, and is of course  subjective and always open for debate, so look at photos please.

The above also goes for pressing identification and label condition. (expect spindle marks) Ask questions before a purchase about anything that is not shown in the photos or description.

Expect inner paper sleeves to have record rub splits, half splits, full splits, tears or crumples. They may not be original at all. 99% of the time they won't be trashed, ask, if paper inner sleeve originality or condition is important.


********************
Payment due in 48 hours, communication of more time is important, as after 48 hours an unpaid item claim will be filed. This is an automated system that I must manually stop. With communication I can wait as much as 7 days, or even longer.


My Vinyl Playing Surface Grading Guideline:
Grading is subjective, please understand VG and VG+ are playable records, but some surface noise and age wear should be expected. If any noise or previous shelf wear on covers is a problem, you may want to consider Near Mint or Sealed reissues in stead of bargain priced vintage vinyl.

If a record I list says VG or VG+, expect it to be a good playing copy. On visual graded records, please understand that it is riskier, as I didn't test it for playback defects. Bottom line, I won't sell scratched up unplayable junk. I am a small one man operation, so I don't have a huge amount inventory, so I can pay closer attention to what I list. Check my feedback.

MINT:  Only a sealed record will I list with this grade. Truth is: How would you even know what the vinyl looked like, so even that might not be mint.

NEAR MINT:  Almost perfect, a sleeve scuff or two per side only. (I don't think I have ever used this Grade) 

VG+:  No marks you can feel, but multiple light marks and scuffs per side some luster loss, still a very good  play copy.  

VG to VG+: This grade is that in between grade, just one or 2 marks too many for the plus grade, looks better than VG. but might cause disagreement if graded VG+, the luster will still be near the same as VG+.

VG:    Still no deep marks, but moderate marks and scuffs, much more loss of luster, very playable. You know by looking at it it will have more noise and static.

VG MINUS:    Moderate marks and moderate other marks and scuffs, some deep marks even, very little luster left, this type will be a more of a gamble.

GOOD:  Worse than VG- and I would only list one if of extreme rarity, and usually dirt cheap.


Attention, Please Read Regarding Specific Vinyl Record Pressings or Sonic Quality of Said Pressing:
Please understand that exact pressings and years of release on current reissues may not be known for sure, so please understand that reissue just means not an original pressing, beyond that, you must do the home work yourself if it's important.

The bottom line is this, don't buy anything if you have questions that are not answered in the listing. I will not misrepresent anything knowingly, but you should NOT ever assume anything that is not specifically mentioned in the listing, that includes who did the mastering of said pressing.

Please look at photos, and come to your own conclusions about the record in question.  



Regarding Global Shipping Program, and Other Middle Men Over Seas Shippers:
After I ship to the designated U.S. Location, it is out of my hands what happens to an item,  if damage or theft  occurs, you must take it up with the shipping service that shipped out of the United States. Your item will be insured to that U.S. Facility by me however. 

I will accept returns for something you are not happy with, but damaged items after they leave the U.S. are not my responsibility. They are supposed to be inspected for damage etc.. before being shipped out.

I also can not be held responsible for any shipping, customs, or other hidden charges that the eBay global shipping program, or your home country may charge you. I ship to U.S. addresses only. In other Words, I ship where eBay says to, then that place ships it to you. Insurance and whatever else is between you and them.

I will not misrepresent the value on an item for customs reasons, please do not ask, I will NOT do it.


eBay Global Shipping Program:
(I can not send you an invoice for orders from this program)
I only ship outside the United States using the eBay Global Shipping Program, if you are from a another country, this includes Canada, you must work out the shipping charges with the third party shipping provider. Please make sure you fully understand what these charges are before you commit to buy from me. I have no idea if multiple purchase get you a discount rate or not, you must check this out for yourself.

If you send me a personal message asking for an invoice or  a better shipping rate, I will not do it, the eBay system will not allow me to, and I do not deal with customs forms, and the program likely gets a better rate for you than I would anyway, the bottom line is this: I only ship inside the U.S.,  I only ship to the U.S. location that eBay asks me to, then they ship it to you.
