Bill Evans always has that "Let-me-grab-a-scotch-and-cigar-at-midnight" kind of quality to his music ... and, I dig it. It feels like a classy jazz club all the time when I blast this. ... And finding good copies of his Riverside stuff is always a challenge. One, because they're softly recorded, and two, because they're pretty old. ... but check this one out, for sure: See below for more detail: VINYL: VG+ (8.7 of 10) Original blue label, deep groove press, mono. And this is some mono goodness right here. ... easily an 8.7 score. The only thing wrong is very light paper scuffs, and maybe 1, very light scratch. It plays beautifully. At first I thought there was background noise, but it was static. I wiped it with an anti-static brush, and man ... it plays beautifully. It is very solidly in the VG+ category ... very, very close to a top copy. COVER: VG+ (7.5 of 10) Beautiful cover. Dull gloss. There's general wear, NO SPLITS, and pretty solid spine. There's seam wear, and corner's aren't super sharp ... overall a beautiful 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. I've listened to the records I sell. I play on a Lenco L70, via Denon 103 MC cart; tube preamp, a Dynaco ST-70 all tube amp to KLH 17 speakers. An super tubey setup, right!? SHIPPING: $4.99 for 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 damn 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 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
