Description
ARTUR RODZINSKI + RPO - Russian Overtures (HMV ASD 288)
Rare original white and gold label pressing - sold in aid of the British Heart Foundation
Condition (Cover / Vinyl): EX+ / EX
Cover is in fantastic condition. Entirely flat with the spine as new and just the absolute faintest hint of corner wear. No chips or lifting to laminate, just a slight catch to the edges of the stereo sticker from filing/unfiling. Rear cover is clean and also very flat with a brown shade to the rear panel. A price of 39/9 is written at the top right of the upper flip and other than that there is no writing. Labels appear to be as new, with a few spindle marks just visible suggesting moderate playing. Side 1 shows two very slight grazes caused by a fingernail or similar (I have done this myself on occasion) and one very fine line to the last track. I have play tested all these regions and detected no audible effects, in fact there is virtually no surface noise on my (decent) hi-fi. Side 2 shows no detectable blemishes. It would be hard to find a better copy. More information and pictures available on request, conservatively graded using 20+ years of experience with records.
Comments: All proceeds from this auction except for postage costs, PayPal and eBay fees will be transferred to the British Heart Foundation Luton branch, so please dig deep and receive a rare item in return.
Shipping: The shipping cost is clearly stated, all items are sent signed-for in new mailers with stiffening both sides. Please do not bid on items and then bleat about the shipping costs, instead complain to PayPal about requiring proof of delivery (good luck). Likewise, please do not bid if you do not have the money, your PayPal is suspended, your dog has just died or you are still living with your mum - payment is required within 7 days of auction end, no timewasters please.
Grading: is generally per UK Record Collector standards and the cover will only be graded if it is specific to the record. All gradings are visual only unless stated otherwise in the comments above. If you wish to have a more full explanation of grades, look here - plain black sleeves or company sleeves are not graded. The photos were done using my A3 scanner which sometimes leaves the colours looking a bit washed out which may make dirty labels look slightly brighter.Sometimes a dot pattern or stripes shows and this is due to the interference of the scanner resolution with the dot printing of what is being scanned. It is also not that great on silver or gold print, making the print look fainter than it actually is.
