Correct about some eBay dealers who exaggerate the condition of vinyl. I was simply going by strict Goldmine standards, which are followed by reputable dealers.

Wasn't trying to knock "Far East Goes West." I'm clearly in the minority on this one!

And yes, Capitol mono LPs right up through mid to late 60s are among the very best sounding and pressed vinyl you'll ever come across. What a sound.

I'm sure you hipsters already know this, but mono LPs sound way better when played back in mono. If your amp doesn't have a mono button, you can use a Y adapter patch cord from Radio Shack for five bucks to do the job. You'll especially notice the improvement on the inner grooves.
