Vincent All description

Oscar Peterson is one of the giants of jazz piano, recording over 200 incredible albums and winning eight Grammy awards.  Duke Ellington called him the “Maharajah of the Keyboard”.   This beautiful album features Peterson leading his outstanding trio, with Ray Brown on bass and Ed Thigpen on guitar.  The result is a spectacular collection of classic covers of immortal composer Vincent Youmans, with the highlight being the beautiful “Carioca”.  The album was released on Verve-Clef in 1954, number MG C 625.  This is the original release of the album.  This is a filler copy.  The vinyl shows multiple surface scratches.  It plays with background noise throughout, most noticeably early on side two.  The vinyl grades G.  The album cover shows some very light ring wear and some corner and edge wear.  All seams show wear but are sharp, tight, and intact.  There is age discoloration.  I have to say… I just love these old Clef album covers, and this is one of my favorites.  The artwork and coloring are stunning.  The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I always clean and then listen to every record I list on eBay.  I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible.  I will do both a visual check and an audio check.  I absolutely attempt to give as objective a grading as I can.  I don’t ever want you to be disappointed in the quality of the album you receive.   My promise is that I will never put up for auction any album that I would not be proud to play for others on my own turntable. 

I only use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or more small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album. Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Very occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G.  This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy. 

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

Shipping is $4.00 in the continental U.S.  I happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost.  In fact, I welcome it!  The $4.00 cost for U.S. shipping applies regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period. 

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. Canada shipping rates have gone up dramatically. The first album will be shipped for $15.  Additional albums will be shipped for $4 per album, with up to five albums able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $20 and each subsequent is just an additional $5.00. 

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.  Payment by Paypal is preferred. 

Thanks for looking and please contact me with any questions.

The World Endurance Championship Starts This Weekend

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

Endurance racing is perhaps the ultimate test of both man and machine. In the past, teams would pace themselves in order to rest both elements enough to make a final push at the end. These days, however, motorcycles are more reliable than ever, and riders train like triathletes.
