I’m confused – when I brought the page up, there was no description whatever. I went back to it at least 10 times, because of Rudolf’s comment, but still nothing. Then I clicked on a link that said “PRINT”, and there found a full description. Can any of you computer experts tell me what happened? I never used this link before to get additional (or in this case, any) information.

he wrote “record plays NM”, his starting phrase. One has got to know the seller, for sure.
It also has got the silver lining around the label.
A nice album anyway.

I guess if you know the seller that well…however I can’t find where he says that it plays NM, or anything else

I admit that the blue back is highly desirable, but…..

I’ve been trying to buy Study in Brown blue print in nice condition for quite a while but it is too rich for my blood… The one for 479$ had 6 bidders offering at least 300$ and I assume all of them know the way how this seller grades his records and do not expect to receive marked item. On top of that 100% positive feedbacks…

Earl: true, seller just says plays NM or something similar.

It’s very hard to say what is or isn’t a good geal. The same exact Lp sells for enormously different prices on various days. And one can only be certain of the all-important condition when the LP arrives at home and is played. That being said, I would say the price was more than resonable

Earl/ceedee: so this this buyer was not crazy at all. He even made a good deal.

I have a M-/M- berg (NY address and GEM sleeve)copy of sax-col, so have been tracking this – a VG++/VG+ berg copy sold for $1009 in 2010 (!) Of course M- copies of the NYC address can sell for #1200 plus

ceedee: fair enough, but the cover and vinyl look to be in excellent condition, an early Bergenfield pressing in a N.Y. adress sleeve, marked G E M albums. I think this buyer will be very happy.
My Bergenfield copy has a sleeve without any adress on the rear, but still with the mention
G E M albums N.Y. I would rate the item sold by the Danish seller to be as close to a first pressing as possible.(Exception made for copies having one NYC label and on the rear a Bergenfield label. I have one example of such a combination, but they are very rare. Blue Note had many more issues with mixed adresses.
