Description
HMV ASD 255 CG - Rachmaninov - Piano Concerto n.4 / Ravel - Piano Concerto - Michelangeli, Gracis, Philharmonia Orchestra
Cover: EX(+); very nice
Vinyl: VG+/EX-; in general just the lightest groove noise in the quietest moments. A very sparse isolated light tic. Professionally cleaned and play graded throughout. Side 1 has a very small needle drop (2 mm) causing 15 light to moderate tics. Side 2 begins with a needle drop causing 10 light tics. A bit more pronounced groove noise. A few moments of over modulation in the most powerful forte parts.
I grade visually and (partly) play grade whenever in doubt. Stereo issues on a Linn LP12 with a Lyra Delos cartridge. Mono issues on a Thorens TD135 with a General Electric VRII cartridge; please be aware that this is a true mono Variable Reluctance cartridge, thus playing with a minimum of groove noise and hardly picking up any imperfections that these older mono records frequently have
As I don't have my own professional cleaning equipment, I consider (and recommend) this to the buyer. In my experience records easily gain a grade with professional cleaning

Dear Ebuyers: For some reason, Ebay has decided that shipment to the US for this category is not allowed to exceed $4. Actual shipping from the Netherlands is currently Euro 18.10 for a package up to 2 kilograms for World shipping. I convert this amount monthly to USD with xe.com and add $1 and a bit for the costs of the new fillers, etcetera. So please do not check out automatically but allow me to send you the invoice with my actual shipping costs. Thank you so much for your understanding.
Finally: in case you don't agree with my ratings or have any other issue with my listing, please contact me and we shall work it out. I will give full refunds (item price + shipping costs), however the shipping costs for sending the item back is for the buyer unless I have made a significant mistake.
