Is this information accurate?
Is this Item a Fake or Counterfeit?
It's a playable copy. Not VG+, but not awful either. First press - the works! Rare, for sure.
See below for more detail:
VINYL: VG (6.0 of 10) NYC Labels; Ear marks; VAN GELDER stamps; first MONO pressing. The surface has some scuffing, from what looks like a few years without an inner sleeve (though, the original sleeve is included with this). Amid scuffing are a few light scratches. LP plays throughout fine, with a little crackle or popping on and off, but still enjoyable to play. Surface is decently preserved absent the scuffs and chatter.

COVER: VG+ (7.5 of 10) Cover is nice. A little chipping or cracking here or there on the seams, but it's holding together just fine, nice and solid. Gloss is great. The corners are bumped a bit, and the back is discolored slightly, but it's a nice enough cover.

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, but not the whole album. I've listened to passages of records I sell. I do NOT listen to the entire album. I DO play passages, testing for any clear distortion, groove wear, crackles, pops, etc. But no, the entire LP is not played through it's entirety. I play on a Lenco L70, via AT MM cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to Klipsch 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.
