Item Details
Manufactured in: Saint-Michel de Provence France
Pressing: By Polygram
Recorded: 1980
Issued: 1980
Label: Harmonia Mundi HM 1036
Was bought new by this seller many years ago and now sold from his private collection (you
have absolutely known provenance). Played only on an expertly setup high-end audiophile turntable,
arm, and cartridge. Has never been exposed to heat or tobacco smoke and always stored vertically in a
specially designed record cabinet (Rackit) to prevent warpage.
Grading
Note: record grading by text characters is subjective and does not fully describe quality
levels. Please see photos and my detailed descriptions below.
Outer Jacket: NM- (Near Mint Minus) There are some small light creases on all 4 corners as can be
seen in the front side photograph. There are zero scuffing abrasions on any of the four jacket edges.
Both front and back surfaces are smooth, glossy and have no wear marks at all. Booklet is Mint.
Vinyl: NM- (Near Mint Minus) Minus is for the LAST vinyl preservative sticker on side A. I
always applied LAST preservative to every new record before its first play, then cleaned on a
VPI-HW16 to remove any mold release compound. Side A was played only once, while side B is mint
as it was never played. The vinyl is beautifully perfect with no marks of any kind whatsoever as
inspected under high intensity halogen light.
Packaging
Record will be placed outside the jacket to protect against seam splitting.
Original inner sleeve is included separately.
Record has been placed into a new "rice paper" sleeve, as the original, even if plastic lined,
may be holding onto some dust. This will keep vinyl surface clean during shipping and ultimate
buyer usage.
Outer jacket is contained in a new clear polyethylene protective sleeve.
Sent in good quality record mailer with cardboard stiffeners.
Shipping
Avoid expensive offshore seller shipping costs and delivery delays!
Shipping will be via USPS Media Mail for a flat charge of $4.50 per single album sale.
A combined shipping discount is available on multiple LP sales completed within 5 business days
($4.50 plus $0.50 for each additional LP). If you intend to buy more than one LP do not pay immediately
but wait for my all-combined invoice. A discount for the combined items will show on that invoice.
Then, once payment is received, the items will ship.
