UK DECCA 3 LP Box Set - 1958 Stereo Recording - SXL 2039-40-41
Wide Band Grooved Labels (ED1)- first stereo pressing of this recording
Famous, very highly praised and sought after performances in this magnificently sounding stereo recording.
*******
The three records show only little signs of being played and retain a very bright sheen; they are all visually graded Near Mint NM/84
The picture gives a good impression of the box, clean and intact but has become a little scruffy over time with splits to the back and top right corner and general shelf wear; visually graded EX/77.
The large size 12 page insert (near mint condition) containing pictures and notes on the artists and the opera is also included.
Satisfaction guaranteed - a full refund of the purchase price (excluding postage & packing costs) will be given for any item which does not comply with my description/grading and is returned to me within 14 days of receipt.
Bid with confidence - Low starting Price and no Reserve

Record Condition Grading System
I apply a visual grading system as follows:
90% Mint, (90% is the highest figure I give as no records are perfect)
80-89% Near Mint, NM almost flawless, at 85% only the lightest scuff marks to the record, slight wear to the cover; above 85% and up to 89%, there should be no marks on the playing surface of the record. Below 85%, down to 80%, there will be progressively more marking, but this will only be very light and superficial.
70-79% Excellent, EX, a few more light surface marks than will be seen at 80-85%, light ring wear or creasing to cover, slight tears/laminate lift to the cover. Remains of price labels or sellotape may be evident to the cover.
60-69% Very Good, VG, more obvious marks to the record, more obvious creasing, ring wear or laminate lift, worse tears to the cover. There may be ticks from the record but see below*.
Records are viewed under both daylight and under a halogen light where practical to clearly shows any marks.
*This is a visual grading system. If I am aware of any audio problems affecting a record, such as ticks, I will provide this information in detail.
