Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition 2 LP issue of a classic 1980 His Master's Voice (HMV) / EMI recording of Symphony No. 6 in B Minor and the "1905" Symphony No. 11 in G Minor composed by DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH and performed by conductor PAAVO BERGLUND who leads the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.  The LP is a His Master's Voice / EMI pressing in the "HMV Concert Classics" series issued in 1980 with the serial number SLS 5177, is a STEREO issue, has a sixth label semi-circle "Nipper" logo and was made in Great Britain.
This record is in SUPERB condition and BOTH records are in NM condition with NO significant imperfections and appears UNPLAYED; the metallic colored gatefold cover is in VG+ shape with some light creases on the corners, light ringwear on the surfaces, a few light scuffs, a small "International Book & Record Distributors" import sticker on the upper left corner of the front cover and just light shelfwear otherwise (virtually every copy on this type of silver metallic sleeve exhibits much more wear than an ordinary sleeve due to the nature of the material). The original inner sleeves are included.
Vinyl Grading Standards (unless otherwise indicated, LPs are visually graded)

Mint (or M) – Sealed and effectively perfect with no signs of wear or ever having been played.

Near Mint -- A record with only the slightest evidence of ever having been handled.

Very Good Plus Plus (VG++) A very clean record that has no marks aside from slight scuffs and abrasions caused by removal from a paper inner sleeve or perhaps a few marks on the label caused by a turntable spindle.

Very Good Plus (VG+) A record that has had a number of plays and may have some superficial scuffs, possibly mild to moderate spindle marks and / or possibly hairline scratches on the vinyl, which may produce some intermittent pops and possibly very light background noise.

Very Good (VG) A record that has generally been well cared for, but has seen a fair amount of play, with some scuffing. hairline scratches, spindle marks and / or light scratches.  Should play through well, with the possibility of more pops and more background noise.

Very Good Minus (VG-)  A record with significant scuffs, scratches, and spindle marks that should play through with moderate pops and surface noise, possibly of some duration.

Good (G) A record with will play through, but with significant pops, substantial background noise, and possibly intermittent skipping.

Poor (P) A record with MAJOR issues that will interfere with play, and will possibly be unplayable in part due to damage (I'll only offer an LP in this condition if it's an extreme rarity and / or for cover art display purposes).
