Record condition: ASD 367 Side One - One noticeable click, pops and slight crackles, background noise on quieter passages.
ASD 367 Side Two - Quite crackly, pops and background noise particularly the Autumn concerto, the livelier parts of the Winter - any defects are less noticeable.
ASD 368 Side One – Persistent cracks and pops.
ASD 368 Side Two – Better than Side One pops and background noise but less noticeable.
ASD 369 Side One – crackles and pops throughout – lessen a bit towards final one third.
ASD 369 Side Two – starts poorly with a few significant clicks & pops (presumably poor needle drops) which lessen at about 2 minutes in, smaller crackles and pops thereafter but noticeable in quiet sections – lessen a bit in Concerto No. 12.
If I was going to grade the vinyl I would say -
ASD 367 Side One – Good
ASD 367 Side Two – Good
ASD 368 Side One – Good
ASD 368 Side Two – Good
ASD 369 Side One – Good
ASD 369 Side Two – Good
Box / booklet and sleeves are in excellent condition.
Comes with original cardboard spaces and tissue paper.
The inside of the box and the record labels have previous owner’s small rubber stamp (see photos) – you almost don’t notice them as they are neatly done. Slight rubbing on box edges, gilt lettering on spine clear and legible.
