Decca SXL 2231, Wideband, first edition, UK '60, ZAL-3699-1M / ZAL-3700-1M, with original innersleeve.

Condition of the record NM (-) (acoustical condition very close to Mint ! - but visually there is a corporal defect - the record was an item of the French Radio Archive and had stickers placed on the off-grooves on both sides. While removing I had to warm up them with a lighter. The sticker on side 1 got too hot and so now there is a spot on the vinyl - see picture - which makes a roundwise rumble noise - only in off-groove of side 1, it don't affect the playing of the music in anyway !), cover EX.

Grading scheme :

M = Mint - as new

NM = Near Mint – very few, light signs of usage that don’t affect play - the cover has only minor signs of wear.

EX = Excellent - some signs of usage, but very little lessening in sound quality – the cover might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VG = Very Good - no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch - normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items.

G = Good - the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches - the cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

+ and - are degrees of the above.

All records have been visually graded very carefully. At least partially they have been audio graded (Linn LP 12 / Grado Master / stereo), especially for critical spots.

Audible defects are indicated.

In addition I would say that anyone who should be unhappy with an item description, please write me.
