If anyone has experience ordering from this place, could you let me know how reliable their grading of vinyl and covers is, and how pleased you were with the experience overall? Thanks.

I've been curious about that place, too, but the prices are pretty ludicrous.

Oh yeah, Jeff Barr, "All Jazz Records". I used to get his flyer/catalogs. I guess I stopped getting them because I went a long time without buying. I don't have any BAD memories of doing A LITTLE business with him DECADES AGO, for what's worth.

I know. But I found a couple of items that seem reasonable.

Pretty sure Mr Barr started with mail bid auctions. I saw some pretty steep bids, even before the auctions died out (in favor of online alternatives.) Not trying to imply any of his prices are good/fair or otherwise, but he's been around.

I did it often in the past and I was satisfied. About the prices, they might be higher then others, but I always considered that his catalogue is usually big, so I could buy several records in one shot keeping shipping cost low, that would be impossible when chasing single cheaper record here and there. And his grading is pretty accurate, when I got some misgraded records, very fews, I simply shipped them back without hassle, or I had a discount on them. I'd say that Mr. Jeff Barr is a serious seller and a gentleman. Reccomended.
