BERLIOZ
Symphonie Fantastique
Sir Thomas Beecham conducts
The Orchestre De La Radiofussusion Francaise
*******
Original 1960 LP recording - ASD 399 - White/Gold Label - First Stereo Pressing of this record.
Highly praised and sought after performance in this magnificently sounding stereo recording.
*******
The record shows only little signs of being played and still retains a very bright sheen and is visually graded Near Mint: NM/84. It plays virtually faultlessly in wonderful stereo sound with no skips, jumps or repeated ticks with a just little crackle in isolated places undoubtedly due to dust/handling over the years.
The picture gives a good impression of the flip back sleeve, clean, robust and intact, with retailers sticker top left and just some slight shelf wear at the corners; visually graded NM/83.
Satisfaction guaranteed - a full refund of the purchase price (excluding postage & packing costs) will be given for any item which does not comply with my description/grading and is returned to me within 14 days of receipt.
Bid with confidence - Low starting Price and no Reserve

Record Condition Grading System
I apply a visual grading system as follows:
90% Mint, (90% is the highest figure I give as no records are perfect)
80-89% Near Mint, NM almost flawless, at 85% only the lightest scuff marks to the record, slight wear to the cover; above 85% and up to 89%, there should be no marks on the playing surface of the record. Below 85%, down to 80%, there will be progressively more marking, but this will only be very light and superficial.
70-79% Excellent, EX, a few more light surface marks than will be seen at 80-85%, light ring wear or creasing to cover, slight tears/laminate lift to the cover. Remains of price labels or sellotape may be evident to the cover.
60-69% Very Good, VG, more obvious marks to the record, more obvious creasing, ring wear or laminate lift, worse tears to the cover. There may be ticks from the record but see below*.
Records are viewed under both daylight and under a halogen light where practical to clearly show any marks.
*This is a visual grading system. If I am aware of any audio problems affecting a record, such as ticks, I will provide this information in detail.
