Description
" BRAHMS - VIOLIN CONCERTO in D Major ", (YEHUDI MENUHIN / THE BERLIN PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA / RUDOLF KEMPE) His Masters Voice (ASD 264) STEREO, Great British Pressing, 196?.
Very rare first English stereo pressing with the White & Gold HMV label - see photos.
This record has been professionally cleaned on my Moth cleaning machine.
In the good spirit of ebay, I will start this LP off at just 99p to get the auction going.
CONDITION:
VINYL = V.G.++ ( NO big scratches, groove damage, distortion, etc. Both labels are clean with only very light spindle trails, etc. However under my bright grading lamp I can make out a few paper-scuffs and more importantly, the second side looks very "dappled" for want of a better word - I am not sure what caused this or if it even has any impact on the record's playback - although neither side plays perfectly, both are very similar and this "dappling" only appears on the second side. Generally plays strongly, although there is the occassional bit of faint backgroud surface noise audible during quieter moments of the recording and during the silent run-in - in my mind, this is by no means loud or consistent enough to ruin the listening experience... although it is only fair to point out so that potential bidders can take this into account when placing their max bids. Providing you are prepared to accept that it is a less than perfect example and bid accordingly, this should make a good honest copy for someone who intends to play it - those looking for a museum piece or a lifeless CD would probably do best to avoid this particular LP though.
Note: for the testing/grading of this record, I have used my Linn LP12 Sondek turntable, which is generally quite critical although I must point out that I cannot guarantee exactly how this LP (or others I have for sale) will sound on your turntable - sorry to be so uptight, but I have met some very silly people on ebay over the years!)
SLEEVE = V.G.+ (NO creases, defacing or creases, etc. That said, I have marked it down quite a bit for some faint dirty marks on the rear and damage that afflicts the edges of the sleeve - the top edge has a four little nicks out of it and the bottom edge is worn in both corners with a split in the middle and on the bottom right corner. Also the gold stereophonic sticker is creased - see photo for more detailed info)
NOTE: It's probably worth pointing out that we are an actual long standing physical shop and soundtrack-specialist mail order firm with literally decades of record dealing experience under our collective belts and unlike so many of the jokers and have-a-go heroes that currently clog up ebay, we know how to grade records (often an excellent LP from us will surpass a less reputable seller's so-called mint items). Please don't just go on gradings either, read my descriptions carefully and bid accordingly and if you have any queries about an LP I am selling, please get in touch in good time before the end of the auction and I will do my very best to assist. Feel free to check out my feedback for more detailed accounts of our past items sold.
HAPPY BIDDING!
