Description
Relisted
Single sided test pressing by Pallas for Coup d'Archet's L'Archet d'Or Series One, ORII from 2002, one of the jewels of the series. Jeanne Gautier plays Ravel's Duo for Violin and 'Cello with Andre Levy. A breath-taking performance and recording. For further information, check the Coupdarchet website. Mint unplayed. Complete with unconstructed proof silk screened jacket artwork (known as a 'slick' in the trade), one of only two extant. The artist will sign if the buyer is interested. When mailing these will travel separately (the artwork will be rolled in a tube), and this is reflected in overseas shipping cost.
There are two more Gautier OR test pressings listed today. Of course shipping will be adjusted for multiple items going to the same destination.
Check all the pics.. and make the most of the enlargement facility.
Check my other listings, my feedback, and bid with confidence. Any reserves and BINs are realistic. Good luck!
Regular clients will know that I keep my descriptions brief and to the point. If you are looking, I figure you will know what you are looking at. I would not presume to condescend nor would I wish to bore you to death with unnecessary hype. Used records play-checked on SME 15, SME V with VDH cart (mono with Lyra) and cleaned when necessary on a Loricraft Pro II.
GRADINGS:
MINT (M): Brand new and unplayed. Perfect, no indications of being handled or played. I only use this grading if I know for sure the record has not been played.
NEAR MINT (NM): The record is virtually flawless, clean and shiny. Very minor, barely visible innerbag wear may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. Jacket is as close to perfect.
EXCELLENT (EX): Record plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a non-sounding mark or two but nothing that affects play. Record is clean and shiny. Any issues with the jacket will be minor and described.
Because I have never collected records that are a lower grade than EX, you won't be finding any for sale here.
I DO NOT USE EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAMME
Overseas shipping by Royal Mail International tracked and signed. Shipping is always at cost, including sturdy professional packing materials. 30 GBP international postage default for this set is for Far East and USA. Europe is less and any difference will be refunded upon purchase. Please be patient :) I will give discount for shipping multiple items to the same address and will likewise refund excess after purchase.
I ensure that used records from my collection arrive with you in the same lovely condition they leave me, carefully packed in secure professional wraps with sheet polystyrene and cardboard packing. Shipping costs reflect packaging. I do not use bits of old cardboard box or those cheap flimsy envelope style mailers.
Records are always packed out of their jackets.
