Description
HMV BLP 1008 (UK pressing, 10", UK pressing).
Record: M(-), a few absolutely harmless paper rubs.
Cover: M(-), faint crease at one corner.
Mendelssohn: Violin concerto op. 64.
Gioconda de Vito, violin
Malcolm Sargent cond London Symphony Orchestra.
Payment (or at least a response) is expected within one week of invoicing.
Grading system:
- M: Mint (played but appears like new).
- M-: Almost mint, a few light rubs or other visual signs of use which do not sound.
- E: Excellent. More pronounced signs of use, slightly increased surface noise is likely.
Any distinct flaws such as scratches or marks are not part of the overall grading and will be fully described separately. Records in lesser condition than M- will normally not be listed.
Covers can be assumed to be in good condition (corresponding to M or M-) unless otherwise indicated.
Unfortunately, I cannot listen to all records before grading them. But I check by listening in cases where I am in doubt about the aural effect of any visual defect.
Postage and packing:
I will quote exact amount with the invoice. The following is a rough guide:
- 0.5 kilo: $11 (Europe), $14 (US, Asia)
- 1 kilo: $15 (Europe), $23 (US, Asia)
- 2 kilos: $23 (Europe), $37 (US, Asia)
- 5 kilos: $47 (Europe); $65 (US, Asia)
Count 1 record for a 0.5 kilo parcel, 3 records for a 1 kilo parcel, 7-8 records for a 2 kilo parcel. This is valid only for single records, sets in boxes are heavier.
Insurance:
Parcels above 2 kilos are automatically insured.
Unless otherwise requested, parcels below 2 kilos will be sent uninsured by letter rate at buyer's risk. Insurance may be obtained for an extra amount of $10. I will only receive a confirmation of dispatch for insured parcels.
Stockpiling of records:
I have started to sell my collection. There are thousands of records which will be listed in small batches in due course (every 3 or 4 weeks). I will be happy to stockpile paid records in order to make postage more economical.
