I have about 150 classical albums which I have decided to sell to help pay for some essential house repairs. These albums have been well-cared for and are entirely free from audible scratches and flaws (I have play-checked them to be sure). I also won’t sell a record I wouldn’t buy for myself and if you look at my feedback, which recently has all been albums, you will see you can buy from me with confidence.
This Album
Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker (complete ballet) on 2 discs.
L'Orchestre De La Suisse Romande, conducted by Ernest Ansermet.
Decca Stereo Recording: SXL 2092-3
Wide Band Grooved, "ORIGINAL RECORDING BY", ED1 1959 UK First Pressing with First Press Stampers: 1E/1E/1E/1E
In (front and back) laminated top-loading gate-fold record sleeve, containing integral (stapled) 8 page booklet, and complete with original Decca FFSS inner sleeves
Condition of Disc, Sleeve and Inserts
I have adopted the Record Collector Magazine Grading Guide for the grading of this record as it is a widely accepted standard. Please see pictures and listen to the recorded snippet of the test-play to satisfy yourself of the condition.
- Vinyl = Very Good
- Record Sleeve = Fair/Good (sympathetically repaired)
- Inner sleeves = Excellent
All four playing surfaces are in very good (or better) condition. There are a few light surface scratches, all of which appear superficial and do not adversely affect playback quality. Sound reproduction is very good, with no discernible deterioration in sound quality, just very slight static/crackle on intro run-in and between tracks, which is inaudible during play. I have provided a recorded snippet of the test-play. Do please listen to this recording to satisfy yourself of playback quality. It was recorded using my old smartphone, so the microphone isn't great, but it should give you a decent idea of the quality. The record sleeve was in very poor condition when I bought the album. I have carried out a careful repair, preserving all of the original sleeve. It's complete and free from tears and is, in my opinion, in 'good' usable condition. Do please have a look at the pictures to decide for yourself. Should you want additional pictures, or more information, do please ask. If it helps, I have looked at recent sold prices for this album and copies in 'very good' condition have been fetching upwards of £100, with copies in 'excellent' condition upwards of £200.
Note: Additional recordings and photographs available on request.
Postage and Packaging
Albums are packaged securely in cardboard mailers designed for the purpose, with extra protection given to the album.
I do combine postage, so if you buy more than one album please don’t pay until you receive an eBay invoice.
You have the choice of postage service and the level of cover. Please choose a postal service (and level of cover) from the table below. The default postage option is Royal Mail Small Parcel Economy, which comes with £20.00 cover against loss or damage in transit, and if you elect to pay with this default postage then please understand I cannot accept any additional liability. If you would prefer the Standard or Signed service please send me a message before paying and I will send you an adjusted eBay invoice. Additional insurance cover (without any mark-up) is also available on request.
These postage charges are the cheapest I can provide. They are just the actual cost of postage with eBay’s 10% commission on top. I do not charge for packaging etc.
* Please choose your preferred service (Economy, Standard, Signed) and send me a message before paying if you want Standard or Signed *
