PS : VG++ to EX

Records :
Vol. 1 / 2 and 4 : NMINT
Very rarely (some once, some never) played but might show some rare and insignificant surface marks mostly due to plastic inner sleeves.

Vol 3 : VG++
Obviously rarely played but shows surface marks.

As these LP's were stored in former owner's attic for decades a good cleaning will definitely increase the sound quality.


Javad Maroufi was born in Tehran to the musician father Musa Ma'roufi and mother Ozrā Ma'roufi (or Ezra Ma'roufi) who both were distinguished pupils of Darvish Khan, a renowned music master of the time in Iran. Javad Ma'roufi lost his mother at young age, and consequently grew up in his paternal family. He was taught in music first by his father, playing both the tar and the violin. At fourteen he attended the Academy of Music of which Ali-Naqi Vaziri was the director and where he studied the piano under the music master Tatiana Kharatian. During this period he studied works by Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven and Bach. In addition to studying western classical music, he studied Persian classical music under Ali-Naqi Vaziri.

Javad Ma'roufi married at eighteen with Shams Zaman. They had four children, two daughters — Sho Kooh-Zaman, also known as Giti, and Jila — and two sons, Manouchehr, and Farhad. Javad Ma'roufi was one of the most notable composers of the Persian classical music and one of the first pianists who wrote Persian pieces for the piano. Amongst his celebrated pieces are Khabha-ye Tala'i (Golden Dreams) and Jila.

Javad Ma'roufi died in the morning of Tuesday 7 December 1993 in a hospital in Tehran.

We use a visual grading system inspired by the Goldmine Standard:

M (MINT) Sealed, never played, new in its original packaging.

NM (NEAR MINT) Almost perfect copy, never or very rarely played. At worst, one or two surface marks, generally insignificant and due to inner sleeve. This the highest grade for an unsealed record.

EX (EXCELLENT) Very clean copy, some insignificant surfaces marks (hairlines). This record has been rarely played, on good equipment and treated with care. The cover has very minor flaws: a name or discrete initials, low wear corners, very slight ringwear.

VG + + (VERY GOOD + +) More surface marks.Minor flaws or cover wear, minor edge wear. This is generally the grade given to a 20 to 50 years old record with a "normal" life, treated with care, but listened and handled regularly by his former owner.

VG + (VERY GOOD +) Has been played a lot, shows multiple slight surface marks (hairlines) generating background noise between songs but no jump or skips. Cover shows important signs of age and storage (slice corners worn, name, date, dedication, tears, etc. ...). Generally, this record was one of the favorites among previous owner discotheque , went from hand to hand, had to animate some parties and bears the scars of a busy life.

VG (VERY GOOD) The record is very worn, has been played a lot, shows important scratches that are creating permanent background noises but do not skip or jump. Still listenable (especially at high volume for big sound). The cover is well worn, torn important corner and edge wear, significant traces of marker pen or ... well, the previous grade but more accentuated.

G (GOOD) Has been played to the hilt (but still playable on some titles), many scratches, crackles a lot while playing, may have jumps or sticks. The cover is very damaged. This record must be very rare to be proposed on sale !

We tend to exaggerate our gradations, however, in case of doubt, do not hesitate to ask questions before bidding.
