Up for auction is the 1967 vinyl LP Lofty Fake Anagram by
Gary Burton on the RCA Victor Records label. Original USA release - not an off-label
re-issue, reproduction, or repackaged record.
Personnel: Steve Swallow, Larry Coryell, Bobby Moses.
Rating and Condition
Disk: G/P
Disk is nice and shiny but there is a short, single skip on Side 1 Track
1, which accounts for the low rating (and price).
A few static (?) pops on Side 1.
Please note: rating of disk is based on a full play of record prior to
being listed. To prevent any damage in shipment record will be shipped out of
jacket. Disk is in a new poly-lined
inner sleeve.
Cover: EX
Cover: standard slipcase jacket- overall Excellent appearance -nice square
corners - most of original shrink wrap is intact - no shelf wear - no labels or stickers labels (label
appears to have been cut out). There are
a few weak spots along upper left side of top seam (have to look at interior of
jacket against a strong light source).

My ratings for records strive to be simple, accurate, tend to be conservative,
and are as follows. Please note: if I
have not recently played the record, my assessment is solely based on a visual
inspection under a strong light, and obviously, my ratings could be out of
whack and there could be playback issues.
For Disks:
Mint (M) - only used for sealed, as
purchased, and obviously, never played (but see note below on sealed records,
if applicable).
Excellent (EX): No scratches, skips, pops, clicks, scuffs, a clean,
glossy surface - very little evidence of having been played – a clean glossy
surface.
Good (G): a few short, shallow scratches producing pops or clicks but no
skips, minor scuffing, overall clean, glossy surface.
Fair (F): minor scratches, scuffs, some manufacturing defects, no skips.
Poor (P): numerous scratches, scuffs - a few isolated skips (I will
offer records with a small number of skips only if the item is somewhat rare -
and the skip may be “worked around” with better playback equipment than I
have).
Not Applicable (NA): for sealed
records as the disk cannot be examined
For
Record Jackets:
Mint

sealed, shrink wrapped, as purchased and no cut-out hole, notches, slits,
straight clipped corners, circular clipped corners, metal ferrule inserts,
clean edged hole, ragged edged hole, under shrink wrap damage, labels, stickers,

rings, bends, a clean surface, may have cut-out or hole punched through cover

wear - some defects that may be found under shrink wrap

Item is sold as
is. If you have a problem
with the listing then let me know before bidding – especially if I have made an
error or have not been able to find definitive information regarding a
listing. Any missed issues or discrepancies
in the listing on my part will be resolved before the record is shipped. Returns will only be accepted based on a
misrepresentation or omission on my part – not, for instance, on a difference
of opinion on what is or is not a scuff or a scratch. I will refund postage, (but not return
Postage)– and Buyer is required to send back item in same box and using
the same method of shipping. I will not
pre-purchase eBay shipping labels.
Refund will be issued after I have received item. If you do not like these requirements look
elsewhere. Finally, there are no
returns for International Orders without a domestic mailing address.
Please note that I only do minimal cleaning of records and recommend that the
buyer clean and/or repair the record or jacket according to their
preference. My records have been stored
for an extended period of time in a cool, dry, basement and may have some fine
dirt or dust on its surface and static buildup, especially records that have
been played before. I usually wipe the
outer jacket and disk with a damp lint-free cloth. This is not a deep groove cleaning of
the disk and there usually is some small buildup of dust and static on the
vinyl’s surface. I usually catch my
fingerprints.
Shipping: Buyer to pay actual shipping charges to be determined after
the end of auction. Please note: there
is a $1.00 handling charge (includes inserts and shipping box). Packages will be shipped Media Mail – postage
does not include insurance, which is extra, if desired. Media Mail does include tracking. Will use Priority Mail if quicker shipping is

include insurance and tracking. Paypal
accepted for payment (but ask about other forms of payment). Any item over $25 and shipped Media Mail has
to be insured by the buyer.
Winner will be contacted after close of auction. Will always combine items to lower exorbitant
shipping fees. Can ship up to 3
single-disc records per box, additional boxes will be at a charge of $.50 per
box. Payment is expected within 5 days
of auction’s close, but I will accept delayed payment and will delay shipping
if you are bidding on an active auction(s).
Finally, please do not ask for special handling that will substantially
increase the weight of the package after you have sent payment. Thanks for looking.
