Michael Garson Serendipity Reference Recordings RR-20 Audiophile LP EX+/EX+

	£		18
	$		24

This is the original Reference Recordings edition from 1986 which comes in a heavy card gatefold sleeve. I've owned it from new and played it once or twice at most. Please see the photos of the sleeve for track lists, personnel and other information about the recording. You can find more information on this Wikipedia page and you can read a short review on this page at allmusic.com. 

Grade (sleeve first) using the Record Collector grading scheme, reproduced below: EX+/EX+

• The sleeve looks almost new - see photos
• The playing surfaces of the record look immaculate - no scratches, fingerprints or other marks.

Please read these grading notes before bidding / buying:

1. All grades are visual only unless stated otherwise. Since this is inevitably subjective I try to err on the side of caution and grade conservatively. The highest grade I will give to a record I have played is EX+ if I have only played the record a few times and the playing surfaces appear pristine.
2. Most records have some surface noise and in my experience this is the case even with brand new 'audiophile' pressings played for the first time. Surface noise is usually more noticeable on classical records which often have long quiet passages where the signal-to-noise ratio is lower. I have bought many such records and found that almost all have some background ticks and crackles - you just have to accept that this is part of the vinyl listening experience, especially with classical music. Please take this into account before bidding/buying.

Combined shipping is available for multiple orders.

I pack records carefully with the record outside the sleeve (for records that have been opened) in a  layer of bubble wrap and ship them in a dedicated corrugated cardboard record mailer.

Record Collector grading scheme:

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening  in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration  in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and  tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated,  perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding,  scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable  surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and  contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
