Bizet : Children's Games Suite Ravel : Mother Goose Suite
The Philharmonia Orchestra - Carlo Maria Giulini
LABEL : COLUMBIA RECORDS - SAX 2279 COUNTRY OF ORIGIN : ENGLAND YEAR : 1958
VINYL RECORD - VISUAL & AUDIO:  EX- / EX- : Visually the record appears to be in superb condition - however there is a very tiny penned named at the bottom of both labels - it's so faint and small you can hardly notice it unless you actually looked hard for it (see photos) - I missed it initially - an excellent minus for visual (minus for the penned name). Audio is generally excellent - an excellent minus for audio.
OUTER COVER: VG : No real major defects - however at the back of the cover - the bottom flap has come away slightly at one end with a small piece of it missing at the other end (see photos) otherwise a great looking cover for its age - very good.
INNER SLEEVE: EX- : Original inner sleeve - lightly creased otherwise excellent - excellent minus.

* All records arrive  in a protective poly sleeve'.*
Vinyl Record Grading System
I aim to describe records as accurately as possible and try to avoid disappointment by playing all records before listing them. I grade them as conservatively as I can using the guide below - however please bear in mind that grading vinyl records is not an exact science and is a very subjective task (what may sound great to me may not sound so great to you and visa versa of course) - therefore if you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact me before leaving any negative feedback and I will always do my best to sort out any problems - I am only human and unintended mistakes can occur. Also, please be mindful that some vinyl records regardless of their condition can still have an occasional very tiny tic due to the physical nature of the medium - thank you :-

MINT (M):

The record itself will be unplayed and 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 will be in perfect condition.

NEAR MINT (NM): 

The record will appear like new but will be known to have been played before because it has come from
a previous owner and the record will therefore be assumed to have been played by them - the label might have some light spindle marks. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster will be in near perfect condition.
 

EXCELLENT (EX):

The record might show some signs of having been played before and there may be some infrequent light surface/background noise and/or some occasional light ticks during playback but there will be very little lessening in sound quality and overall still a great copy. The cover and packaging will have slight wear and / or creasing.


VERY GOOD (VG):

The record will obviously have been played many times before, it may have some obvious light background noise (crackles/ticks) but no real major deterioration in sound quality, despite any noticeable surface marks or the occasional light scratch. The cover will have normal wear and tear also on any extra items, without any major defects, is also acceptable.


GOOD (G):

The record will have been played so much that the sound quality will have noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some
distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents will suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc

For any records that appear to fall between the above grades a plus (+) or minus (-) sign will be added to try and provide a more accurate grading.
