Sam Rivers - Contours (1967)

(Blue Note Tone Poet Series)(2019)

Single Vinyl LP (33 RPM)

Factory Sealed

***Note on Manner of Packaging***

In almost all cases, I surround each vinyl jacket in bubble wrap, add additional bubble wrap on all four corners, and add more folded bubble wrap to the face and back of each jacket so that there is very slight pressure to inhibit the vinyl sliding around inside the jacket causing seam splits (if you ask, I can open and ship the vinyl outside the jacket). I also use corner protected Whiplash Mailers, not those cheap mailers with no corner protection. Bottom line, your package should arrive safely unless the postman is angry and bitter on the day of delivery and takes it out on your package. I package this way because that is how vinyl should be packaged. I think (and hope) everyone who buys from me is pleased not only with the artist's product, but also with the care I take in getting it to them.
In most cases, the price of shipping includes insurance for lost packages or damage to the outside of the package in transit. If you receive a damaged package, please help by taking a picture of the package and send to me BEFORE opening it. USPS can be difficult to deal with on claims and they sometimes want the unopened package, so the more you help me document the damage and facilitate the claim then the faster I can refund where applicable.

Thanks for looking and feel free to message me with any questions!

  This entire set is from an extensive 1,000+ vinyl collection that I am selling in the coming weeks (as well as some CDs/SACDs). I previously compiled the collection over the course of the past 15 years, but am selling primarily because my family is sick of it (though I am keeping a handful that I personally treasure). The collection includes both new (sealed) and used (opened), and ranges among Jazz, Rock, Classical, etc., so please follow and keep an eye open in the coming weeks for future auctions/sales!!! Grading of Vinyl

Unless sealed or stated otherwise, all records are visually graded as follows:

NM/VG++:          Appears handled and played infrequently or very carefully. VG+:                    Surface may show very light scuffs/scratches/hairlines that cannot be felt by the finger. VG:                      Surface shows scuffs/scratches/hairlines, some of which may be felt by the finger.

Once again, I am visually grading used (i.e., unsealed) vinyl to the best of my ability, but I am a regular joe and not an expert in grading (not in manufacturing, retail, or otherwise). I am just a lawyer by trade who loves music. If I see a scratch on vinyl that is visible in most light, then I will do my best to make sure a photo shows it. If I can feel a scratch at all, I'll most likely list it as "VG" per the above defined terms and, if the scratch is material enough, I likely will not even bother listing it. 

If you have any specific questions about condition or anything at all, PLEASE ASK BEFORE BIDDING/BUYING!!!

Additional Terms and Conditions

I can be contacted at any time through eBay messages if you have any questions, comments or concerns. I will try to respond to you within 24 hours and do my best to answer any of same. I encourage any interested or potential buyers to ask me anything. I want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase and the best way to do that is to reach out to me BEFORE BIDDING/BUYING!!! Further terms and conditions for this listing are as follows.

Packaging All vinyl is reasonably packed for proper protection and then photographed for related documentation (available upon request). I will make a concerted effort to protect the vinyl during packaging and include proper quality cardboard mailers and, as necessary, bubble wrap and void fill material to inhibit internal movement during transit. Vinyl that is used (i.e., not sealed) will remain removed from their outer sleeve/jacket and placed in a separate inner sleeve from MoFi or Sleevecity to prevent seam splitting during transit. Shipping, Insurance, Tracking, etc. Buyer takes ownership of the sold item upon payment and my printing of a shipping label, which also means that buyer owns the item at the time of tender to postal service and during transit thereafter. Buyer is responsible for cost of Shipping (unless otherwise stated in listing), and cost of Taxes and any other third-party fees. Please ask for an invoice if you need any of these additional shipping features. Though I am not responsible for insuring the item, I likely will go ahead and insure the item just to shift the risk to a third-party insurer rather than either Buyer or myself.
Timely Payment Winning bidder will receive what is shown in the photos. Please have finances in order prior to bidding as payment is immediately due upon purchase or end of the auction. Absent prior approval, I will cancel the order if payment is not received within 12 hours and will simply offer to the next bidder or re-list the item for other potential buyers. No Returns All sales are final. These are originally from my personal collection, so I am not a retailer and do not accept returns unless we communicate and agree that I erroneously described a used item in any material way. So, before buying or bidding, please make sure you understand and know what you are bidding on and purchasing and ask if you have any questions or would like to see additional photos of anything in particular. Factory Sealed Items As to factory sealed items, I make no representation or warranty as to the condition of the vinyl inside, including as to damage or defects, and so any and all sealed items are being sold "as is" with all risk of damage or defects being borne by the eBay purchaser. I am not an original manufacturer or retailer and, accordingly, cannot replace or swap any items. Most of these are originally from my personal collection and, as is well-known in the vinyl collection community, part of the current value is in them being sealed, new, and unused. I have given great and excessive care to all sealed items during the entire time they have been in my possession, so any damage or defect would be the result of the original manufacturer/retailer or during transit after I place in the mail and for which I will not be responsible or obligated to refund any amounts (in part or in full) (see Insurance provision above). This includes any damage caused by postal service, other third parties, or seam splits and the like caused during shipment. If you want me to open and ship the vinyl outside the jacket, then you must ask at the time of purchase. I will look at the vinyl to see if there are any obvious defects, but I will not play-grade those items. I simply do not have the time to open and play-grade every one of these. If you do not ask me to remove the vinyl, then there is nothing I can do to guarantee or ensure no seam splits happen during shipping.
Binding Terms By buying or bidding on this item, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to all of terms and conditions herein, viewed all of the photos, asked any questions you may have regarding this item, and accept the item ?as is? without any warranty or representation as to the quality of the item or otherwise. Disputes If there is any dispute (God forbid), then please openly communicate with me to seek a resolution before asking eBay to step in. I am not a difficult seller and am more than happy to find a reasonable solution if there is a problem.
Jurisdiction This may cause me to appear paranoid, but I have been practicing law for twenty years and have seen it all, including people be sued in other States over trivial matters after simply selling something on eBay. So . . . if eBay, for whatever reason, cannot resolve any Dispute that may take place, then Buyer agrees that he/she/it will not make any efforts or initiate any dispute resolution or judicial or quasi-judicial proceeding outside Tarrant County, Texas. In this regard, Buyer agrees that exclusive jurisdiction rests solely in the federal, state, and/or county courts located in Tarrant County, Texas.
