Description

EMI HMV Stereo ASD 596 & ASDS 597 Mahler Symphony No.9 Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra /cond. Sir John Barbirolli 2LP (3sides) Set


UK 1st edition Semi-Circle Pressings.


Records graded by eye. Serious potential bidders are welcome to inspect the records prior to bidding if you so desire, they are located in Penge SE London.


I am not an expert at record grading but I have done some research on such matters. I have read various record grading websites and I understand that there are obviously lots of different ways of grading records and that this is a very subjective process.


Using the Record Collector guide to grading Mint being the highest and Excellent second I would describe these records as Excellent (I have taken on board the widespread advice of not to use plus signs). The surfaces are glossy and although there are a few surface marks there is nothing that can be felt with a fingertip


596 few slight surface marks excellent 


597 slight lift bottom corner of flip back split down side to dust cover plus slight tear near centre. Very slight surface marks excellent



Jackets in very good condition both jackets have creasing at the top right corner. They both have lined sleeve inners with expected levels of creasing. Labels look great too nothing bad to report.


I have tried to describe these records to the best of my ability and have 100% feedback.


Please see the detailed photos for an enhanced description and condition report of the sleeves. I will be adding other classical records of the same period including some Decca wide band SXL and Columbia blue/silver labels.


Any questions please ask.


The records will be well packaged prior to dispatch. They will be sent recorded (signed for).
