Damn! Dammit! @#&**(#!!!
Another record, another bad feedback to post! This time I contacted the seller ahead of time, asked specific questions, got the answers I was looking for.... and the record looks like it sat in acid for a day or two. No scratches, but so profusely scuffed that it looks etched.
Fortunately, this was a mono pressing, and I find that mono pressings when played with a mono cartridge can be very forgiving compared to stereo... so I'll just keep it rather than fight the send it back battle. But DAMN, this dishonest grading is getting old.
Wish my local store would find some more jazz lp's to sell.
