Label: Mercury SRI 3-77002 Golden Imports 3 LP set
Condition: Record: NM to NM-

Description: A wonderful copy of this highly desired box set. Absolutely gorgeous close-up sound.
RECORD GRADES: SEALED: Sealed. As collectors know, not necessarily a guarantee of condition. MINT: Not used as a grade by me. MINT MINUS (MINT-): Very rarely used, and only for a super, super clean looking and sounding record. NEAR MINT (NM): A record that does not have any visual or audio flaws. NEAR MINT- (NM-): A record with a very minimal extremely slight flaw, particularly an inaudible one such as a scuff or shallow mark that does not sound. An audible flaw would be the slightest rare mild tick. VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS (VG++): A record that may have some slight flaw or two very slight flaws: Very light background noise heard in low sound level parts of the music, occasional light ticks, a very few repeating light clicks, etc. VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+): Same flaws as VG++ but more pronounced. Still does not interfere with the enjoyment of the music for many if not most people. VERY GOOD (VG): Background noise that can be heard during all but the louder passages, scratches that cause repeated mild and moderate ticks. May start to interfere with the enjoyment of the music. I rarely sell records with this grade unless they are rare and have some redeeming reason for someone to buy them.
.
I try to grade records fairly and conservatively. In general I will try to mention specific defects. Variation exists in playback systems and even in the ears of listeners, as well as in some pressings where some labels are known to have noisy surfaces. Old mono records and even new records made from old (78) records or tape also have inherent noise in them. My system is a Linn LP12-Lingo phono/ Graham 2.2 tonearm/Van den Hull Frog cartridge with Standard Exposure amp-preamp and Thiel speakers. My system is very transparent and reveals a lot of detail in the music which can include surface noise. A friend of mine who also has a Linn LP12 with Krell amps and Linn tonearm and cartridge routinely grades my records a half to full grade higher than I do. And they actually do sound different (better?) On his system. I try to be as honest as I can when I grade records. I am only human and cannot fully play both sides of the records I sell. I do spot-check almost all of the records I sell. Therefore I do offer full refunds within reason, less shipping charges, of course.
