SOUND SAMPLE AUTO STARTED WHEN YOU OPENED THE PAGE,TURN UP THE VOLUME... and have a READ . 

Cover NM / LP VG++ ( Very mild warp, 1ml of headshell float on replay, does not affect sound quality, possibly unplayed until I tested and sampled it for this listing)  First label for this edition, Melodia HMV label.

Leonid Kogan  with Kondrashin conducting perform the Shostakovitch Violin Concerto No. 1.

Mikhail Khomitser with Rozhdestvensky conducting Moscow Symphony orchestra play Shostakovitch cello Concerto No.1

Based on the stampers, 2G/2G I think this is a first edition,  pressed in UK.

Sample is of  about 1 minutes 2 seconds of side 1, with a 19 second gap so I can flip the disc. Side 2 starts at 1 minutes 21 seconds until end of sample (2 mins 33 seconds  total) NO MARKS OR PAPER SCUFFS ON THIS RECORD, ABSOLUTELY AS NEW LP CONDITION, , all plays as same quality as this sample , As you can hear,  very clean, the rest plays no worse than this. A few odd tics here and there, but nothing I would regard as anything other than normal vinyl replay,

This sound sample at a low resolution (192kbps) and full tone especially on computer speakers will not show, this is only to give an idea of how clean this record is, and even then there are some static crackles that you can hear due to the treble bias of the sample, that DO NOT sound on MY sound system.

Yes I have fully test played this LP

Summary rating DISC VG++, cover NM Seams undamaged no other edgewear

LP HAS NO spindle trails on label either side.

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....

FULLY Test played.

  If you can get a cleaner sounding UK copy, for this money, I suggest you go buy it. Plays very cleanly, only the faintest of vinyl noise in this with normal RARE occasional tics,  but not 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 , LOOKS AND PLAYS LIKE NEW . Both sides OCCASIONAL pops and tics especially in quiet passages, BUT EVEN NEW RECORDS HAD THOSE !!  this IS THE CLEANEST RECORD STRAIGHT OUT OF THE INNER DUST COVER i HAVE SEEN FOR A WHILE, NO SIGN OF HANDLING WHATSOEVER!!

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

 LP test without wet wash bath,

Except for the VERY FEW QUIET PIPS, this is a dynamically and musically outstanding recording. AS a cello player myself, it was a pure joy to test play this LP in preparation for sale.The full recording has to be heard, so if you haven't already heard THIS lp , vote now........

 In other words, buyers asking me to understate the customs declaration on this item need not bid, as I flatly refuse under international law to do so.  (Last Buyer who did that gave neg feedback (it was retracted obviously) as they thought it was my fault they had taxes to pay(?????)

RULES FOR BIDDING

DOES ANYBODY READ THIS?? I THINK NOT BASED ON RECENT BIDDING ACTIVITY ON MY ITEMS!! PLEASE READ...

If you have hidden feedback, or

less than 98% positive, or

less than 50 recent visible positives, (that's NEW EBAY registrations with little activity yet, that have proven your good buying habits)  THEN -

I would appreciate email contact first to establish your credentials.  Credentials mean that I need to know you will be paying with VERIFIED PAYPAL account, and I of course will only be mailing to that verified address. DON'T EXPECT TO GET MY PERMISSION IN THE LAST 2 HOURS OF BIDDING, DO IT BEFOREHAND. (Buyers who have had trouble free transactions with me already qualify of course, regardless of the feedback status)

HAPPY BIDDING, QUESTIONS WELCOME
