Description
Bizet: Carmen - "The Callas Carmen"
Rare original UK deluxe 3LP set, first stereo pressing, gold labels with red "Nipper" and white "Angel" logos, in padded faux-leather hinged box, complete with three laminated booklet inserts and original poly-lined company inner bags
HMV Angel SDAN 143-5 stereo
Box in near EX condition; a couple of small points of wear at edges but in much better order than usually found
Booklets are in EX/near MINT condition
Inner bags in VG+/EX/EX condition
Discs in EX to near MINT condition with full original vinyl lustre; there is one small (2cm) almost inaudible mark on Side 2 - this is the only "fault" and is basically insignificant
A very nice example of this rare set!
Condition Grading of Vinyl Records
I am somewhat conservative in the condition-grading of records because, due to the high volume of items handled, it is impossible for me to test-play every record. All records are subject to detailed visual scrutiny after professional cleaning; more valuable items are usually test-played. Please see my Returns Policy for details of my no-quibble money-back guarantee which is applicable in the rare event of dissatisfaction, for whatever reason.
I use the basics of Record Collector's Rare Record Prices Guide grading as the the system employed in the condition-grading of vinyl records offered for auction
Postage and Packing
Please Note: The weight of this item, including packaging, is approximately 1560g
UK Mainland: £4.00 (subsidised) plus £1.25 for each additional 12" or LP record (2nd class recorded)
Europe: £14.95 plus £1.50 for each additional 12" or LP record (International Signed-For insured airmail)

NB: Surface mail options for overseas shipping are available at approximately two-thirds of airmail costs, but this method can take up to 5 weeks for delivery; please email me at the time of invoice if you require this service. Alternatively, I may choose to send bulky lots in excess of 2.5kg (for either Mainland UK or Overseas addresses) via Fedex or other courier, usually at slightly reduced costs, which may take about 1 week for delivery from time of dispatch
I endeavour to dispatch items as soon as possible after payment has been received and/or cleared. However, and in particular to allow for the vagaries of the various postal services, please allow 10 days (UK) or 14 days (overseas) for delivery. You should, however, receive your purchases much quicker than this!
