Description
Debussy: Jeux
Dukas: La Peri
(Decca SXL 2027 UK LP 1959)
This is an original ED1 UK Stereo pressing in great overall condition! It has a fully laminated flipback sleeve which has an extremely thin spine. The "spine" text is on the rear sleeve next to the spine. The top & bottom flipbacks have a rounded die-cut area at the centre. There is also a blue border around the text on the rear sleeve. Only the very earliest UK pressings have this blue border. The rear of the sleeve has a printing date on the bottom flipback (F.R.B. 3/59). This means that the sleeve was printed in March 1959.
It comes with its original polythene-lined generic "FFSS" Stereophonic company inner sleeve. The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has black & silver ED1 "wide band" Decca labels which are grooved also. They have the "Original Recordings By.." text on them. It has 1st press ZAL-4033-1E and ZAL-4034-1E matrix numbers.
This is a genuine UK 1st pressing with the earliest matrix numbers & a fully laminated "blue border" sleeve. This also has an early 1959 printing date. In great overall condition too. Rare like this! I have some other rare UK Classical LP's for sale too. So please see my other listings. Don't miss out!
Sleeve: There is some light, mild or very mild rubbing wear to the corner tips. There is some light, mild or very mild rubbing wear on the sleeve opening edges on some areas. There is an old, pre 1971, UK record shop price (23/6) which has been written neatly on the top flipback on the rear sleeve. This could be easily removed if desired. The spine edge is in great overall condition. There is some light, mild or very mild ringwear. NEAR EXCELLENT condition.
Vinyl: It still gleams like new! There are a very few light or very minor sleeve rubs which can barely be seen under a strong light. The inner sleeve, over time, has left some light, very mild or very minor dull surface marks on some areas. These can only be seen under a strong light. They are mainly on the dead wax area on both sides. EXCELLENT+ condition. The labels are in Excellent+ condition and show minimal spindle wear. The company inner sleeve is in Near Excellent condition. There is some light, very mild or very minor ringwear, fading & creasing. There are no seam splits.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Excellent to Excellent+ overall, & Near Perfect to Perfect in many places. A superb audio copy!
Traceable insurance is already included in the stated P&P price for this listing.
We offer worldwide postage. Discount is given on P&P for multiple purchases. I shall always weigh combined purchases to get a completely accurate price. So please wait for the invoice to be sent before paying. Please see below for a more detailed description.
MINT Condition = As good as a copy you would buy from a shop, immaculate!
NEAR MINT Condition = Very nearly mint just slightly under, maybe a couple of very, very light paper sleeve scuffs that can only be seen under strong light. SOME WOULD CLASS THIS AS MINT. This disc has been played a couple of times at most. Cover is virtually perfect - very minimal wear only.
EX Condition = A clean & tidy copy that shows virtually no defects. Maybe one or two light needle scuffs or light sleeve removal marks that can only be seen under strong light. There will be no scratches. Play will be near perfect with no distortion. Cover will be very nice with maybe very minimal creasing, ringwear or edgewear.
NEAR EX Condition = You can tell this record has been played a few times but it has been well cared for. There will be minor surface marks only; that barely detract from the sound quality. Cover may have slight creasing or ringwear. A very serviceable copy that you will be pleased with.
VG Condition = A well played but serviceable copy. There will be a few marks on the vinyl, but they won't be nasty scratches, just relatively light needle scuffs and sleeve removal marks, they will be noticeable but won't detract from play too much. Cover will show signs of storage/ ageing, e.g., creasing, slight folding, spinewear, ringwear or sticker tears. The record will not be trashed!!
>> Postage Rates
AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.
Royal Mail have very recently increased their postage rates. So I have revised my postage costs to reflect their increases. (Please note that these prices include packaging costs too)
DISCOUNT WILL BE GIVEN ON POSTAGE FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS. SEE PRICES ABOVE.
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7". I use a cruciform box for larger orders (4-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 2-3 days after payment.
I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).
I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.
Remember to check out My Other Items Lots of rare & quality vinyl! Most are UK 1st Pressings. It is quite likely that there will be more records by this artist, or records in a similar vein.
