VARIOUS SOLOISTS AND THE CHORUS OF THE VIENNA STATE OPERA

AND THE VIENNA PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA

DECCA / LXT 5103/4/5/6 / 'LONG PLAYING UNBREAKABLE MICROGROOVE' FFRR ORANGE LABEL GOLD LETTERING

4 DISC SET. UNUSUALLY, DISC 1 HAS SIDES 1/8, DISC 2 HAS SIDES 2/7, DISC 3 HAS SIDES 3/6 ETC

DISC CONDITION: EXCELLENT+ ALL DISCS HAVE VERY LIGHT SURFACE MARKS AND OCCASIONAL VERY LIGHT SCUFF BUT APPEAR TO HAVE NO SCRATCHES. MARKS APPEAR TO BE FROM WRINKLES ON THE PLASTIC SLEEVES PRESSING AGAINST THE DISC OVER THE 35 YEARS+ THESE HAVE BEEN IN STORAGE. A LIGHT CLEAN SHOULD RESTORE THESE TO NEAR MINT.

SLEEVES: ALL EXCELLENT+ VIBRANT COLOURS ON FRONT - AS NEW. REARS HAVE MINIMAL AGE YELLOWING ALONG SEAMS HAS VISIBLE DISC RING AND SOME YELLOWING ALONG EDGES / INNER SLEEVE: THESE ARE THE EARLY DECCA POLY BAG TYPE

ALL MY RECORDS ARE FROM THE EXTENSIVE PRIVATE COLLECTION OF A RELATIVE WHO IS AN EX DECCA EMPLOYEE. THEY HAVE BEEN PROFESSIONALLY STORED IN CUSTOM MADE WOODEN STORAGE BOXES AND HAVE ONLY BEEN PLAYED ON A GARRARD 301 DECK WITH DECCA PICKUP AND ARM.

GRADING POLICY:

MINT / EXCELLENT / GOOD WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE VINYL FIRST, FOLLOWED BY THE COVER, SLEEVE AND ANY LIBRETTO

MINT: APPEARS AS NEW, FLAWLESS. I THINK THAT THIS IS IMPRACTICAL IN THE REAL WORLD FOR RECORDS THAT ARE 45+ YEARS OLD, VERY FEW WILL BE DESCRIBED AS MINT.

EXCELLENT: APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN PLAYED ONLY RARELY, MINOR FLAW(S) AS DESCRIBED. FOR COVERS/SLEEVE ETC MINIMAL YELLOWING COMMENSURATE WITH AGE.

GOOD: CLEAR EVIDENCE OF PLAYING, WITH FLAWS AS DESCRIBED. FOR COVERS/SLEEVE ETC FLAWS AS DESCRIBED.

I WILL NORMALLY SUPPLEMENT WITH A VERBAL DESCRIPTION OF HOW I SEE THE RECORD.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS IS A SUBJECTIVE EXERCISE AND I AM DOING MY BEST TO DESCRIBE THE ITEM HONESTLY AND FAIRLY.
