    Rockadelic,

    I think you need to cut and paste this letter for us. I'm smellin' a Soul Strut Insta-Classic™.

    I've taken off his name and the first paragraph where he "introduces" himself. Who knows, maybe this guy is here on SS. My wife reminded me that this is not the first guy to ask about how a record smells!!

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    I am interested in bidding on your ebay item the Eric Dolphy “Out There” LP but need to have some questions answered before I bid. Your photos looks very good but sometimes ebay photos can be misleading so I must ask about the overall condition of the LP. Thank you for your time.

    Are the corners of the LP sharp and pointed?
    Are the corners of the jacket bent, creased or rounded in any way?
    Is there any writing on the jacket, inside or out?
    Any rubber stamps or other defacing?
    Is there any mold or mildew on the jacket or vinyl?
    Are the seams and spine perfect or can you see any splits or tears?
    Is there any writing on the label(s) on either side?


    You state that the vinyl is Mint so I would take that to mean there are no scuffs or scratches on the vinyl. Please confirm this. Have you cleaned the record and if so, what did you use to clean it with.

    Also, can you please tell me if both sides of the label have a deep groove and what is etched into the trail off at the end of each side. Usually it will be letters and #’s. Please tell me what they say.

    Most important can you please tell me what the record and jacket smell like. Do they have an odor? I am very particular about the odors that enter my home and am hesitant to put a 50 year old item into my collection if it smells bad. The odors that I find especially offensive seem to be very common with records. Please confirm that the LP does not smell like any of the following bad odors.

    Pet odor especially Cats
    Smoke of any kind
    Mildew or Mold even if not visible
    Cooking odors like garlic or curry
    Ether
    Any medical or drug odor
    Perfume or deodorizers
    Any other odor you think I should know about

    I also would like to be assured that no pet hair or feathers can be found anywhere on the record. Spider webs or other insect bodies or waste. I know these requests may sound unusual but by allergic reactions in the past make it necessary to determine these things before I allow a record into my home.

    If the LP in question does have any of these odors can you pleasde identify which ones and tell me how strong you would rate them on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 representing the most foul odor.

    I am very interested in the LP and am looking forward to placing a nice bid on it as soon as you confirm that it does not have any of these problems.

    I am looking forward to a swift reply.
