Columbia SAX 2281 (pressed in England)
MATRIX NOS:
YAX 98-17/YAX 98-3
An original blue/silver Columbia SAX. Which is pretty good shape ( see results of my grading below). It does not have its original inner sleeve but is housed in a custom made paper sleeve.
I have not been active on EBay for the last couple of years as I opened a shop here in Singapore but prospective bidders can view my previous feedback at my profile page to get an understanding of how I place emphasis on quality service.
Pot even cover surface postage let alone registration (ie tracking). Please read my shipping section below.
Bidders who are viewing this on Ebay, US & Canada please note that I originally listed this under Ebay, UK where I ticked the item co I dI have play graded the items to determine whether there are any flaws.
GRADING RESULTS:
I would rate the front cover as between a strong Excellent to Near Mint . The back cover exhibits some discolouration due to age and a slight scuff at the flipback at the top right hand corner. There are no tears or writings on both the front and reverse sides of the cover.
The Vinyl looks Near Mint with no visible lines or scuffs under strong household light. It maintains it's shine and lustre and is mirror like. The labels look clean. Tracking at 1.7g on my Linn Ekos/Linn Arkiv cartridge, on side 1, there was some very light and very occasional surface noise but it did not detract too much from the listening pleasure and there was no distortion. Only on the silent grooves at the dead wax at the end of side 1 was it pronounced. I would rate the playing as a Near Mint on side 1. On side 2, it was about the same except that the surface noise was somewhat relatively more pronounced towards the end of the first track. I would grade the playing as Excellent in view of this.
How I Clean and Grade my Records
Cleaning: Cleaning is usually done on a Loricraft PRC 4 cleaning machine and/or Clearaudio Double Matrix using the US made 3 stage Walker cleaning solution.
Playback Equipment: Playback is through a Linn LP12 turntable/Keel/Radikal and Urika with a Linn Arkiv cartridge and through a active Linn Majik Kontrol, 2 x 140s . For mono vinyl, I use a second Linn/Lingo/Aro/Miyajima Mono .
I use both Goldmine and Rare Record Price Guide grading system as a guide and came up with the following:
· Mint I only use this for sealed items. The record is virtually unplayed and is in a brand new condition. Cover is pristine. Up till now, I have never used this grading and, chances are, never will, due to my conservative nature in matters of record grading.
· Near Mint Very little or negligible flaws. Faint lines or very faint creasing on laminated covers visible under a strong light is acceptable but nothing serious. Records which show some signs of having been played such as very faint spindle marks are allowed but there should be no lessening in sound quality. .
· Excellent Item obviously played, though not often,and enjoyed with some slight noise. The record should be nice and shiny but may have a few light marks which should not intrude on play. Slight wear on cover is acceptable.
· Very Good Many more imperfections which are noticeable but not obtrusive. The record has been played several times but there should be no major deterioration in sound quality despite some noticeable surface marks and light scratches. Normal wear and tear or writings on the cover is acceptable but there should not be any major tears.
I do not offer any records below Very Good unless its extremely rare.
Shipping costs
I use brand new custom made plastic sleeves for both the vinyl and for the sleeve. Shipping is always by Airmail and by registered post as it allows one to track items in case of delays. One buyer has even likened my packing as "FortKnox”! Shipping costs in Pounds are:
14.9 GBP for the first LP and 6 GBP each for the subsequent ones
I will inform buyers of the registration details through Email on posting.
Forms of payment that I accept include:
· PAYPAL (preferred choice)
