Is this Item a Fake or Counterfeit?
Beautiful cover, solid side 1 ... falls apart a bit on side 2. OG COPY THOUGH.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: Stronger VG- (5.7 of 10) First pressing, STEREO; VAN GELDER runouts, Orange ABC Paramount label. Side 1 really plays VG+ ... does have some scattered hairlines, all very light. Sounds fantastic. Side 2 has 2 deeper scratches. Rotating crackle on second half of disc. Not awful by any means, but it is there.

COVER: VG+ (9.0 of 10) Sleeve is beautiful. High gloss, no splits, looks fantastic. 3-4 tiny areas where gloss is coming up and a very small amount of wear .... fantastic cover. Sandly, the LP does not match.

Now the standard messages:
GRADING: Yes I use standard grading. HOWEVER, I will NEVER use the word "mint" or "near mint" to describe a used LP ... sorry, won't do it. The highest I go is VG+. I use a number after to more represent a combination of how the vinyl looks and how it sounds. 10 is the best. I'll describe what I see in addition. I've found the combination of these two can minimize expectation gaps. But ask questions when in doubt.
CLEANING: Yes. All vinyl is cleaned ... on my own machine I made. Vacuum machine. I wash and rinse with my own formula cleaners -- once with my enzyme cleaner, and rinsed with my own distilled water/alcohol formula. ... this process has worked for me for years.
TESTING: Yes. I've listened to the records I sell. I play on a Lenco L70, via AT MM cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 17 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!?

SHIPPING: Free anywhere Media Mail, domestic. Overseas is BY WEIGHT, so check that weight before bidding, you overseas-ers! LPs shipped in a proper box with plastic sleeve, and yes, vinyl shipped outside the sleeve.
RETURNS: Generally a no go, unless you have a compelling reason. But if there's a serious problem, I'm sure we can figure it out with a return. I mean, I am an adult ... allegedly. But I do try to describe accurately, offer time for questions, and I deal in used records, not new stuff ... yes, it's always kind of a gamble buying via eBay, which is why I try to do my best to make an objective attempt to describe the LP in question. ASK QUESTIONS WHEN IN DOUBT. I promise, we can make this an easy transaction
