Description
Before reading any further, please note that postage is not free. Due perhaps to the fact that I am selling from Denmark, I can’t seem to be able to enter any sensible value for postage. Please see below for my rates.
On offer is a very rare original UK 3LP box-set of Rossini's 'the barber of Seville' conducted by Alceo Galliera and starring Maria Callas and Tito Gobbi. All 3 records are in pristine NM (near mint) condition. The box looks tidy but has come apart at 3 corners and has started to come unglued at the spine (this can be mended). Weight excluding packaging is 900g.
Columbia SAX 2266-68 stereophonic longplay. Made in Gt. Britain
There are two different label types her. the blue/silver and the red/black type. I don't know how common it was to mix label types or if this makes the set less or more rare. The two red labels each have the message 'Sold in the UK subject to retail price conditions, see lists'. One of the red labels (side 3 & 4) and the blue label (side 1 & 2) have the KT tax code , while the remaining red label (side 5 & 6) has the MT tax code.
The matrix numbers in consecutive order are: YAX 63-9, 64-7, 65-7, 66-6, 67-4, 68-6
At the moment I don’t have a very good digital camera at my disposal. I’ve tried taking close-up pictures of the record-labels but they turn out blurry so I’ve given up on that. Please feel free to ask any questions. If an extra photo is needed, let me know and I’ll try it again.
About me: My name is Eddy and I’ve been collecting records for some 20 years. Occasionly on my quest for the missing pieces of my own collection I come across records which may be of more interest to other collectors.In the past I’ve sold records mainly in Denmark on local forums but would now like to reach a wider public. I grade according to the record collector system. Being a collector myself, I know how disappointing it can be to receive a record and discover that the seller has neglected to mention scratches, tears, graffitti, stickers or other damage to either the record or sleeve. I find it important to grade accurately and honestly and have no wish to receive negative feedback.
Return policy: If a record doesn’t live up to the grading I’ve given it then I’ll be happy to refund payment on return of the record provided it is returned to me in the same condition as it was sent and the buyer has contacted me immediately upon receiving it. I will cover the cost of return postage.
Payment: I only accept payment through Paypal, or if in the EU, through bank transfer
Postage:I’ll happily dispatch to anywhere in the world but postage costs vary so please contact me prior to bidding if in doubt. As a rule postage costs are as follows: (prices in £)
Europe: 250g/4.50 500g/6.00 1kg/10.00 2kg/14.00
Rest of world 250g/6.00 500g/9.50 1kg/14.50 2kg/25.00
Insurance is an extra 10.00
These are cost prices. Postage from Denmark is pricey, so please keep this in mind when bidding.
Packaging: I use professional record packaging with stiffeners which should ensure damage-free delivery. I cannot, however, be held responsible for any possible loss or damage incurred while in transit. For more expensive purchases, insurance is advisable.
