Description
This listing
All 3 LPs VPI cleaned. Visually in EX condition: a few paper marks and light needle marks visible in bright light. Specifics in description. Play testing reveals excellent, full sound with moderate crackle heard throughout. Early, thick vinyl. Good luster. Outer box only VG with a torn corner in the top right, and top separated from bottom. Date in pen and discoloration inside front cover, pictured. Please see photos and ask any questions.
LP with Sonata #2 & #4 visually EX+ with only paper marks and 1-2 very light needle marks. LP with #1 & #5 in similar condition, just 1 needle mark noted. Third LP containing Sonata #3 and the variations has a needle mark that is not felt with finger but will sound as pops.
My Vinyl Philosophy
Some sellers rely solely on "visual grading", hiding the fact that even though a record looks pristine, it may sound terrible. Records that I review are play-tested and their sonic qualities described. I won't list pressings which sound muted in any range, compressed, or that are just not recorded "hot" enough. Those with significant noise will be listed only if the record or performance is rare.
As most collectors know, even identical pressings can sound different. Even a brand new record may have defects. I always price competitively, and will adjust my asking price based on the condition of the record(s).
Records are cleaned thoroughly with distilled water and a clean microfiber before play-testing. Condition will improve, of course, with a professional cleaning.
