SOUND SAMPLE AUTO STARTED WHEN YOU OPENED THE PAGE,  TURN UP THE VOLUME... AND HAVE A READ....

Please read full description before bidding !!!!  Lp belonged to a professional violinist with an  audiophile husband , all records in this collection were well cared for, this one does have  asmall scratch in the sound sample and photo's 6 and 7 one in Flash and sunlight to REALLY make it show up.  Hardly visible unless bright light is used, I heard it before I saw it.

LP VG++++ ( one intermittant  sounding 3ml scratch line, starts at 1 minute in the sound sample and comes and goes until the 3rd minute (opening side A, othewise not much sign of previous play).  original pre June 1957 (RT Spindle Tax code) 33cx Columbia Mono.

Side 2 sample of opening edge starts at 3 minutes 35 seconds of sound sample and completes the 5 minutes 21 second sample in total. REST of LP replays no worse or better than the opening sections sampled.  

Cover NM !!!!  no ringwear, no yellowing of reverse, no laminate on either side damage , scallop flipbacks undamaged, only some minimal thumb creases near opening edge

, Stampers are XAX 877 - 1N AND ALX  876 3N.

THIS IS A RARE RECORD, HARD TO OBTAIN IN ITS  UK LABEL, let alone located in Australia with such a superb cover

LP. VG+++ RATED AFTER PLAYING, only one  SOUNDING small scratch, NO OTHER VISIBLE MARKS ON THE RECORD but this record has VERY CLEAN REPLAY AS YOU CAN HEAR FROM THE SAMPLE, RARE ODD TICS AND POPS, in quiet spots and some static near the edges other than the small scratch area.

COVER  NM NO RUBBING ON laminate COVER, NO RINGWEAR IN ANGLED REFLECTIVE LIGHT, NO SEAM SPLITS SCALLOP FLIPBACK SEAMS INTACT, COVER IS THIN CARD FRONT LAMINATED, AND HAS SOME spline CREASES FROM FLEXING WITHOUT THE LP INSERTED.

Other than a little faint static near run ins, plays very cleanly.  with very infrequent tics or pops, As you can hear,  I think it will be hard to find an overall cleaner copy.

Yes I have fully test played this after professionally washing it,

See details below for Stamper numbers proving this is pressed from a  COLUMBIA recording,using a stamper the same as the  rare UK  edition.the stampers are the same numbers sent to Australia, and pressed in the early 60's then retailed thru AUSTRALIAN OUTLETS.

ITEMS are located in AUSTRALIA, see further down for Australia Post Rates to your destination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Australian buyers can pay in AUD,

UK Buyers BE AWARE !! Post limit of 7GBP as stipulated by ebay, (even for overseas sellers) GOOD NEWS!! unlike other sellers I will only charge the 4GBP to Post it to you BUT BAD NEWS..... It will arrive via the same method as if it was posted in UK, by SURFACE MAIL, and as that involves a slow ship via China and other indirect world zones it may take upto 3 MONTHS  to get to you. There is an option on your UK invoice for Economy mail, which will be by Air Mail and therefore the regular 10-15 days, SO UNLESS you want to get it VERY SLOWLY.... I would strongly recommend paying the optional invoice amount of GBP12.50

Professionally cleaned, and FULLY Test played. This is a UK pressed copy of the rare 33cx 1381

  If you can get a cleaner sounding UK copy, for this money, I suggest you go buy it. Plays very cleanly, even the short scatch is not that distracting,only the faintest of vinyl noise in this with normal occasional tics, a few more near vinyl edge during first few minutes each side, but not overly distracting. There is no loud music to mask any vinyl damage noise.
so here's a good way to get the music on a record that  besides some random soft static like pops in quiet passages ,

Rarely ever seen in Australia (THIS IS  ONLY THE ONLY ONE I HAVE    EVER SEEN, out of tens of thousands!!!!!) 

 LP test played after wet wash bath,

Except for the SOFT OCCASIONAL tics as mentioned  THIS has to be heard, so if you haven't already heard it, vote now........
