RECORD LABEL:   HMV

YEAR:   1953

CAT:   ALP.1104

OUTER SLEEVE:     The front laminated, flipback outer sleeve is in good condition but does have some patches of laminate lifting and a 45mm split in the spine.  

INNER SLEEVES:   The original grease proof style paper envelope sleeve has a few creases but otherwise is in excellent condition. 

ARTWORK:   No additional artwork.

LABELS:   The red, half moon style (with Nipper) labels are in excellent+ condition with just two or three very feint spindle marks. The embossed tax stamper letter 'N' is clearly visible on side2.

VINYL:   The vinyl is in excellent condition with no marks or scratches. Although when play grading I noticed some very mild surface noise in a few places but nothing that spoilt my enjoyment of this vintage piece of vinyl. The Master Matrix's are 2XEA327-2N / 2XEA328-4N.

Another superb, classical gem from the archives. Heavily pressed on 215gram vinyl.

All vinyl is cleaned using the "Moth Record Cleaning System" prior to sale to ensure the best quality sound reproduction from each individual disc. The Moth is recognised world wide as being one of, if not, the best vinyl cleaning system available and is used by institutions such as the BBC. I am always impressed by what this cleaner is able to reveal!!

All vinyl is play graded in full (not just snippets) unless otherwise stated. I am currently using the new flagship Pro-ject deck the RPM10 (see profile pic) with an Ortophon Kontrapunkt "C" cartridge with Audio Vector Mi3 speakers (tri-wired) and Musical Fidelity amps. If there is a problem anywhere across the dynamic range or vinyl surface this system will find it.

I am an avid collector of vinyl and cd's (and have been for a number of years) of all genres and appreciate how important accurate grading is. I have therefore used the Record Collector grading system, although you may note the use of + and - for those that fall safely inbetween.

All vinyl will be sensibly packaged using mailers / stiffeners to ensure its safe arrival. All items sent Royal Mail First Class within 24hrs, often the same day. If you have any concerns regarding postage please email for recorded delivery costs. I have had no problems to date but cannot be held responsible for items lost by Royal Mail. I always get a receipt and in some circumstances claiming on the standard Royal Mail insurance is an option but recorded is recommended if you feel at all worried. I will always suggest to any buyer that items selling above £39 (Royal Mails standard limit) are fully insured. I will always combine postage / shipping on multiple purchases where possible.

I am happy to ship worldwide. As shipping costs vary from country to country I ask that overseas bidders/buyers contact me via email so I can ensure the best deal for you.

TERMS:

All payments are to be made within 72 HOURS of auction end unless agreed otherwise via email, if you do not contact me you may risk losing the item. If you intend to bid on another of my items and therefore want combined postage but the second item is outside of the 72hr payment window PLEASE contact me to let me know.

I aim to keep buyers informed at all times throughout the bidding/buying process. If in the very unlikely event that you should be unhappy with your item please contact me and I will do my best to resolve any issue, leaving negative feedback benefits neither buyer or seller. I only list/sell a few items at a time but nearly always rare or hard to find gems at reasonable starting prices so keep an eye out for bargains. I am a collector NOT a dealer and as such you can expect all items to be handled with great care/respect and (I hope) a human touch to the transaction. Please see my positive feedback for assurance and don't forget to check out my other items. Feedback is ONLY left upon reciept of the same thus informing me of the items safe arrival.

If you would like more info feel free to email. Emails checked at least once a day. 

Thanks for looking.
