Description
Rimsky-Korsakov: Tsar Saltan (Suite)
Dubinushka
The Snow Maiden (Suite)
Khachaturian: Waltz & Galop (from "Masquerade)
(HMV ASD 582 UK LP 1964)
This is an original UK Stereo pressing in very nice overall condition! It has a heavyweight front laminated flipback sleeve which has a mid sized "Stereo" on the front. Only the very 1st UK pressings have a mid sized Stereo on the front. It comes with its original polythene-lined generic "EMI" company inner sleeve.
The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has red "Semi-Circle" HMV labels. These have "The Gramophone Co...", "Sold in UK..." and "Recording First..." label texts. This means this is the very earliest UK pressing. This label text changed to omit the "Recording First..." text soon after. The record has 1st press 2YEA 866-3 and 2YEA 867-1 matrix numbers.
This is a genuine UK 1st pressing of this UK Stereo Classical LP. These are not that common. In very nice overall condition too. I have some other rare UK Classical LP's for sale. So please see my other listings.
Sleeve: There is some mild or very mild rubbing wear to the corner tips. There is some light or very mild fading to the "white" of the rear sleeve. There is some light or very mild rubbing wear on the sleeve opening edges on some areas. This hardly really notices. There are a couple of light or very mild laminate creases on the front sleeve. There is some light or very mild ringwear too. Very Good+ condition.
Vinyl: There are some light, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs which can hardly be seen under a strong light. The inner sleeve, over time, has left some light, mild or very mild dull surface marks on some areas. These are mainly on the dead wax areas. These. again, can hardly be seen under a strong light. Very NEAR EXCELLENT condition. The labels are in Excellent+ condition and show minimal spindle wear. The company inner sleeve is in Very Good++ condition. There is some light, mild or very mild ringwear, fading & creasing. There are no seam splits.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Very Near Excellent to Excellent overall, & Excellent+ in many places. There is some light or very minor crackle in a few places. Overall, a great audio copy!
Traceable insurance is already included in the stated P&P price for this listing.

We offer worldwide postage. Discount is given on P&P for multiple purchases. I shall always weigh combined purchases to get a completely accurate price. So please wait for the invoice to be sent before paying. Please see below for a more detailed description.
Please note that there are now VAT import charges from the UK into all EU countries. Anything under 150 Euros will need an IOSS number. VAT is paid at point of sale. For any items over 150 Euros in value. There will be a customs charge too. These vary, I believe, from country to country. Please check your relevant postal service online for details. Please note that these charges are beyond my control and are now the law for outside parcels going into the EU.
MINT Condition = As good as a copy you would buy from a shop, immaculate!
NEAR MINT Condition = Very nearly mint just slightly under, maybe a couple of very, very light paper sleeve scuffs that can only be seen under strong light. SOME WOULD CLASS THIS AS MINT. This disc has been played a couple of times at most. Cover is virtually perfect - very minimal wear only.
EX Condition = A clean & tidy copy that shows virtually no defects. Maybe one or two light needle scuffs or light sleeve removal marks that can only be seen under strong light. There will be no scratches. Play will be near perfect with no distortion. Cover will be very nice with maybe very minimal creasing, ringwear or edgewear.
NEAR EX Condition = You can tell this record has been played a few times but it has been well cared for. There will be minor surface marks only; that barely detract from the sound quality. Cover may have slight creasing or ringwear. A very serviceable copy that you will be pleased with.
VG Condition = A well played but serviceable copy. There will be a few marks on the vinyl, but they won't be nasty scratches, just relatively light needle scuffs and sleeve removal marks, they will be noticeable but won't detract from play too much. Cover will show signs of storage/ ageing, e.g., creasing, slight folding, spinewear, ringwear or sticker tears. The record will not be trashed!!
>> Postage Rates
AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.
Royal Mail have very recently increased their postage rates. So I have revised my postage costs to reflect their increases. (Please note that these prices include packaging costs too)
DISCOUNT WILL BE GIVEN ON POSTAGE FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS. SEE PRICES ABOVE.
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7". I use a cruciform box for larger orders (4-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 2-3 days after payment.
I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).
I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £2.00. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.
Remember to check out My Other Items Lots of rare & quality vinyl! Most are UK 1st Pressings. It is quite likely that there will be more records by this artist, or records in a similar vein.
