Description

All Star Percussion Ensemble

Bizet: Carmen Fantasy

Beethoven: Scherzo from the 9th Symphony

Pachelbel: Canon in D

Berlioz: March to the Scaffold from Symphonie Fantastique

Arranged and Conducted by Narold Farberman

MMG D-MMG 115 (1983 US pressing)

Condition/Jacket: VG generally with some unfortunate creasing and saw-cut in upper right.

Condition/Vinyl: I am tempted to call the vinyl NM in all respects but will go with EX because I decided to clean it on the Nitty Gritty. Excellent sound. Label is clean.

=======

Highly desirable ‘80s audiophile recording featuring superstar percussionists from the New York Phil, Pittsburgh Symphony, Boston Symphony, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Royal Danish, and New York Metropolitan Opera Orchestras. This really is a quite incredible recording and justifiably sought-after. This can be very expensive in 100% mint condition. My starting price reflects the less-than-perfect condition of the jacket, but the vinyl is near-pristine.

Please check my other listings for more records. Among other things, I will be posting throughout fall 2011 a large collection of desirable classical LPs (and possibly some 78s) in excellent condition.

=======

I grade conservatively and play-grade whenever possible. Visual grades are done with powerful raking light. I rarely use NM without an explanation, and I do my best to report all major condition issues.

All records are shipped in proper record shipping boxes. Vinyl is always packed outside of jacket, in a new rice paper or lined paper inner sleeve, with a new poly sleeve outer. I clean most LPs with a Nitty Gritty cleaner, except when the vinyl appears to be near mint or a cleaning appears otherwise unnecessary. I like clean, I like safe.

For US buyers, I ship USPS Media Mail at flat rates of $3.00 for single LPs and $5 for doubles and small boxes. Some heavier pieces (I mean weight) will be shipped at actual cost, billed to buyer with the final invoice. I will combine shipping at actual cost, again using Media Mail. You can always let me know if you'd like another shipping method and I will accommodate, at actual cost.

For non-US buyers, shipping is at actual cost using USPS First Class International. International buyers: please do not contact me before the end of the auction for shipping rates. I usually do not pack a record until the end of each auction. I will provide non-US buyers with the actual shipping cost via the invoice, after I have packed and weighed the box. I may require insurance for certain countries, where possible.

I normally do not take returns, but the buyer should be in touch with me if upon receipt s/he feels that something has been seriously mis-represented.

PayPal only.

Thanks.
