HERE IS A HIGH GRADE COPY OF THIS VERY EARLY STEREO EMI ISSUE WITH THE FIRST BLUE & SILVER LABELS. A SUBLIME PERFORMANCE OF BEETHOVEN’S ‘EMPEROR’ CONCERTO BY EMIL GILELS. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A FIRST PRESSING WITH THE FULLY LAMINATED RED TEXT COVER WITH SCALLOPED FLIPBACKS. THESE ARE RARE!
A FINE LOOKING HEAVYWEIGHT DISC WITH CLEAN LABELS. SURFACES HAVE A LOVELY SHINE WITH JUST A COUPLE OF ULTRA FINE WHISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE UNDER LIGHT.
VISUAL GRADING FOR DISC IS EXCELLENT +
THE DISC PLAYS SUPERBLY FROM START TO FINISH, JUST ONE OR TWO LIGHT POPS DETECTED. FABULOUS AUDIO GRADED AT NEAR MINT
FULLY PLAY GRADED
THE COVER IS FULLY LAMINATED WITH NO FLAKING. A LITTLE WEAR TO THE TOP CORNERS. THE OPENING EDGES ARE A LITTLE CURLED. THE REAR EDGE HAS A SMALL INTERNAL TAPE REPAIR, NOT REALLY NOTICEABLE. ALSO ON THE BACK IS A CREASE TO THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. FLIPBACKS ARE FULLY INTACT, NO SEAM SPLITS, SPINE FULLY INTACT WITH TEXT LEGIBLE. GOLD EMI STEREO STICKER IS PERFECT.
COVER GRADED AS VERY GOOD+
?THE POLY-LINED EMI INNER SLEE?VE HAS NO DAMAGE, GREAT CONDITION.
I GRADE RECORDS CONSERVATIVELY USING MY INTERPRETATION OF THE RARE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE GRADING SYSTEM. I DO MY BEST TO GIVE ACCURATE ASSESSMENTS BUT AS WE ALL KNOW THE GRADING OF USED VINYL IS VERY MUCH A SUBJECTIVE MATTER. I OFFER A NO QUIBBLE FULL REFUND IF THE WINNING BIDDER WISHES TO RETURN THE ITEM. ALL I ASK IS THAT THE ITEM IS RETURNED IN IT'S ORIGINAL PACKAGING IN THE SAME STATE AS IT WAS SENT WITHIN 14 DAYS OF RECEIPT. I DO NOT GIVE PARTIAL REFUNDS.
POSTAGE WILL BE BY 2ND CLASS SIGNED FOR DELIVERY TO UK AND INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR OVERSEAS BUYERS. PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL INVOICED. SORRY BUT I NO LONGER POST TO RUSSIA, UKRAINE OR ANY OTHER PARTS OF THE FORMER USSR.
THE ITEM WILL BE POSTED IN A SOLID BOX MAILER, DISC REMOVED FROM OUTER COVER. THIS MEANS THE ITEM WILL REACH YOU IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION.
THANKS FOR READING AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER PROMPTLY.
