ARTISTE, RECORD TITLE AND LABEL:
Qurbani ( Bollywood OST) Polydor 2392 195 (pressed in India:) Music Direction : Kalyanji Anandji / Biddu
A original 1979 Indian pressed Polydor LP with collaboration with Biddu whose rather distinctive style could be heard on several tracks.I put it through my usual cleaning and listening tests to see if there are any serious flaws( see results of my grading, both visual and play grading below).
I have been inactive on EBay for the last few years as I opened a shop here in Singapore and I will be placing the harder to find albums on eBay in addition to my own local sales. As I tend to clean and play grade all opened copies, I will only be placing a rather limited quantity each time though I expect the frequency to be more in view of the current Covid situation which does enable one to have relatively more time.
International Buyers – Please Note:Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.Buyers please also note that I am based in Singapore .The maximum Ebay UK lists for shipping is 9.5 GBP but this would not cover shipping from Singapore let alone signed for, registered mail.Please read my shipping costs section below.
GRADING RESULTS: Visual grading: The jacket is generally Excellent. Other than looking it’s age, there are no serious flaws.
Visually the vinyl looks VG++ with some visible but light lines and scuffs which did not affect play or cause skips Tracking at 1.7g, on a Linn LP12, there were some very light and occasional clicks but they were not intrusive. The playing can be graded as VG++. Playing with the mono set up, the playing was more towards Excellent as the extraneous surface noise declined considerably.
How I Clean and Grade my Records Cleaning is usually done on two machines ie the Loricraft PRC4D cleaning machine and the Clearaudio Double Matrix Professional Sonic machine. I use the US made Walker Audio stage cleaning solution.
Playback Equipment: Playback is through a Linn LP12 turntable/ Radikal/Urika/Keel/ Ekos SE tonearm with a Linn Krystal cartridge.Amplification is through a Naim 52 preamp/2x135s into a factory rebuilt Wilson Watt Puppy. For Monos I use a second Linn Keel/ Aro/Miyajima Mono
Shipping costs I use brand new custom made plastic sleeves for the sleeve and anti static plastic sleeves for the vinyl. Shipping is always by Airmail and by registered post as it allows one to track items in case of delays. Shipping costs in US$ are:
UK/USA/Europe 16 GBP Each additional LP: 6 GBP Rest Of The World: ask for rates
Postage is via Airmail, "signed for" delivery. I prefer signed for delivery as it allows me to "chase" on my side if buyers do not get their items within 3 weeks though so far this has only happened rarely. However with the current Covid situation, buyers can expect some delays
