Hephzibah & Yehudi MENUHIN

LABEL : HMV - ASD 389
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN : Gt. BRITAIN
YEAR : 1959

VINYL RECORD - VISUAL & AUDIO:  EX+ / VG/- : Visually the record appears to be in excellent condition - excellent plus for visual. Audio is a very good to a very good minus grade - plays fine all the way through with no skips or jumps - there is no real major detioration in actual sound but there is background crackle during play - mainly on side one and partly on side two - most of side two is actually not too bad. There is also a brief but audible repeat tic midway through track two on side one due to a miniscule little scratch that can barely be detected with the naked eye. Overall very good to very good minus for audio.
OUTER COVER: EX- : Cover is excellent - a very slight tan to one side at the back of the cover but generally in excellent shape for its age - excellent minus.

INNER SLEEVE : EX : Original paper/polythene inner sleeve - excellent.


* All my records arrive  in a protective poly sleeve'.*
Vinyl Record Grading System
I aim to describe records as accurately as possible and so, to try and avoid disappointment, I play all records before listing them and attempt to grade them as conservatively as I can using the guide below - however, grading vinyl records is a very subjective task (what may sound good to me may not sound good to you and visa versa) - therefore if you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact me before leaving any negative feedback and I will always do my best to sort out any problems - I am only human and unintended mistakes can occur. Please also keep in mind that some vinyl records regardless of their condition can still have an occasional tiny tic due to the physical nature of the medium :-

MINT (M):

The record itself will be unplayed and in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.
The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster will be in perfect condition.

NEAR MINT (NM): 

The record will appear like new but will be known to have been played before because it has come from
a previous owner and the record will therefore be assumed to have been played by them - the label might have some light spindle marks. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster will be in near perfect condition.
 

EXCELLENT (EX):

The record might show some signs of having been played before and there may be some infrequent light surface/background noise and/or some occasional light ticks during playback but there will be very little lessening in sound quality and overall still a great copy. The cover and packaging will have slight wear and / or creasing.


VERY GOOD (VG):

The record will obviously have been played many times before, it may have some obvious light background noise (crackles/ticks) but no real major deterioration in sound quality, despite any noticeable surface marks or the occasional light scratch. The cover will have normal wear and tear also on any extra items, without any major defects, is also acceptable.


GOOD (G):

The record will have been played so much that the sound quality will have noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some
distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents will suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc

For any records that appear to fall between the above grades a plus (+) or minus (-) sign will be added to try and provide a more accurate grading.
