Dusty is tricky in this regard, they will often describe the sleeve, but the grading is strictly the record. They don't offer any grade on the sleeve. Never been wronged by their record grading, but buying online is definitely risky since they don't grade the covers.

hyped releases from an article about VMP shared elsewhere: 4. John Coltrane, “A Love Supreme” (VMP Edition) This single-album release is getting the boxed set treatment with eight discs of material, including the original album, every outtake and alternate take, and two live performances of...

Dusty Groove has preorders up, but it is $100usd. Very steep.

I put together an order of all the Evans Trio records with LaFaro from a Japanese seller, Ella Records. Made the shipping much less painful and this music is really perfect the dead silent quality that you typically get from Japanese pressings. One of my smarter moves as a collector honestly.

Any other vintage tube freaks in here? I came up on some 50s and 60s Mullard 12ax7s. Keeping some for myself, but have 1 pair of long plate 1957, and a few pair of short plate 60s that I am looking to sell. They're not NOS, but they test well into the good range on my emissions tester and...
