FOR AUCTION TODAY I HAVE A SUPERB COPY OF THIS 1960 LP. THIS IS PART OF A SUPERB SET THAT BELONGED TO AN AUDIOPHILE COLLECTOR. HIS RECORDS HAVE BEEN VERY WELL PRESERVED AND ARE IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION. THERE WILL BE SOME NICE ORCHESTRAL & OPERATIC ITEMS LISTED . AMONG THEM ARE SOME RARE DECCA, HMV AND COLUMBIA FIRST STEREO ISSUES.
THIS RECORD DOES NOT APPEAR VERY OFTEN AND IS SELDOM SEEN IN NICE CONDITION. THIS ONE IS A BEAUTY. TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.
SUFFICE TO SAY THAT THIS IS A REALLY NICE COPY OF WHAT HAS BECOME A VERY COLLECTABLE AUDIOPHILE LP.
IT'S PRESSED ON TYPICALLY HEAVY 60'S VINYL (153g).
MATRIX NO.s : YAX 545-6 / YAX 546-5
MOTHERS / STAMPERS : 12H/3L
DISC WEIGHT: 139g
AN EMI PRESSING WITH BLACK PRINT ON BLUE & SILVER LABELS. BOTH LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN WITH VERY NO SPINDLE TRAILS AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE. THIS SUGGESTS MINIMAL AND CAREFUL USE.
LABELS GRADED AS NEAR MINT
CLOSE INSPECTION OF THE DISC UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT SHOWS JUST THE ODD TINY HAIRLINE. THE ACTUAL PLAYING SURFACES HAVE A LOVELY SHINE THAT IS ONLY FOUND ON EXTREMELY WELL LOOKED AFTER RECORDS. AUDIO IS CRYSTAL CLEAR WITH NO CRACKLE OR CLICKS, EVEN IN THE QUIETER PASSAGES AND BETWEEN TRACKS.
VISUAL GRADING FOR DISC IS NEAR MINT
AUDIO GRADING FOR DISC IS NEAR MINT
THE COVER IS PRINTED BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE. THE LAMINATED FRONT HAS NO CREASES , THE SPINE IS FULLY INTACT WITH ALL TEXT LEGIBLE. GOLD EMI STEREO STICKER IS PRESENT. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP WITH NO FEATHERING. THERE IS A SMALL RUB MARK TOP CENTRE AND THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF WEAR TO THE BOTTOM EDGE. TURNING OVER, THE REAR IS UNDAMAGED, THE PANEL HAS KEPT MUCH OF IT'S WHITENESS WITH JUST A LITTLE AGE TONING AND NO MARKS.
COVER GRADED AS EXCELLENT+
THE INNER SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL, POLYTHENE LINED, PATENT APPLIED FOR, MADE IN ENGLAND . THERE ARE NO SPLITS, TEARS OR WRITING JUST A FEW SMALL CREASES.
INNER SLEEVE GRADED AS EXCELLENT+
I GRADE RECORDS CONSERVATIVELY USING MY INTERPRETATION OF THE RARE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE GRADING SYSTEM. I DO MY BEST TO GIVE ACCURATE ASSESSMENTS BUT AS WE ALL KNOW THE GRADING OF USED VINYL IS VERY MUCH A SUBJECTIVE MATTER. I OFFER A NO QUIBBLE FULL REFUND IF THE WINNING BIDDER WISHES TO RETURN THE ITEM. ALL I ASK IS THAT THE ITEM IS RETURNED IN IT'S ORIGINAL PACKAGING IN THE SAME STATE AS IT WAS SENT WITHIN 14 DAYS OF RECEIPT.
POSTAGE WILL BE BY IST CLASS SIGNED FOR DELIVERY TO UK AND INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR WITH INSURANCE FOR OVERSEAS BUYERS. PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL INVOICED. SORRY BUT I NO LONGER POST TO RUSSIA, UKRAINE OR ANY OTHER PARTS OF THE FORMER USSR. APOLOGIES TO THE MANY GENUINE COLLECTORS FROM THESE PLACES BUT THE HASSLE I HAVE HAD FROM PREVIOUS TRANSACTIONS MEANS THAT THE MINORITY HAVE SPOILED IT FOR THE REST.
RECORDS ARE REMOVED FROM THE OUTER SLEEVES , PLACED IN A POLYTHENE PROTECTOR AND POSTED IN A SOLID BOX MAILER. THIS MEANS THE ITEM WILL REACH YOU IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION.
THANKS FOR READING AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER PROMPTLY.
