JOHN COLTRANE - AFRICA/BRASS - IMPULSE - VAN GELDER - EX - with Eric Dolphy and more - maybe one of the best jazz LPs ever?!  It is in the conversation.

"Africa/Brass" - John Coltrane - Impulse AS-6 (red/black labels, Van Gelder (RVG) in deadwax, early stereo pressing!!) - EX / VG+ (strong), normal edge/rubbing wear, original Impulse inner sleeve


VINYL GRADE FIRST / FOLLOWED BY COVER GRADE - EXAMPLE - EX / EX

I am a longtime collector of jazz LPs.  Some of these LPs are from my personal collection.  The LPs have been play-graded.  I rarely will use NM- (my highest grade for an opened LP) and differentiate between VG+ and VG with additional language such as (strong), (solid), and weak).  I am known for my conservative grading - just check my feedback!!  Grades are vinyl first, then cover.

I know how to package and ship LPs safely and only use LP cardboard mailers with added cardboard inserts or bubblewrap.  All LPs are in sleeves and have already been removed from their covers for shipment.  I do not overcharge for shipping and will combine LPs to save you shipping costs.  I have the ability to ship many LPs in a single shipment. 

PLEASE WAIT FOR MY INVOICE - ESPECIALLY FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS!  EBAY SHIPPING AMOUNT IS WRONG - DO NOT PAY BEFORE RECEIVING INVOICE!

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS!!  I DO NOT USE THE EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM AS IT JUST COSTS YOU MORE MONEY.  EMAIL ME TO OBTAIN A SHIPPING QUOTE!!

Media Mail for a single LP in the continental U.S. is $4.50 - $1 for each additional LP.  Priority Mail for a single LP in the continental U.S. is $7.25 - $1 for each additional LP.  Ignore the Ebay shipping costs, especially for multiple items.  I welcome international bidders and will ship anywhere the U.S. Postal Service ships!  Shipping rates will vary on where you live and the weight of the package.  I never charge more than $5 over the actual shipping costs to cover my handling expenses (20 LP mailers are not free!) for International bidders.  I usually ship only on Saturdays and thus can take up to 5 business days after receiving payment to ship an LP.

If you are not satisfied with the LP for some reason please notify me before leaving feedback.  I accept returns up to 10 days after you have received the LP and will refund the cost of the LP but not the shipping.

SEALED LPS CANNOT BE RETURNED ONCE OPENED!
