Description
SEALED: EMI: Du Pre,Barenboim: Beethoven: The Five Cello Sonatas
Label: EMI SLS5042 Stereo Made in England 3 LPs Condition Record: Sealed! Condition Jacket/Box: Sealed! Description: Jacqueline Du Pre on Cello and Daniel Barenboim on the Piano in Beethoven's 5 Cello Sonatas as well as the Variations sets on Mozart's Magic Flute and Handel's Judas Maccabeus. The Penguin Stereo Record Guide gives this record its top 3 Star rating and says, 'This set recorded live for the BBC during the Edinburgh Festival 1970. The concentration and intensity of the playing are wonderfully caught. In particular the slow introductions to movements have a weight and sense of purpose at very measured tempi such as no other cellist on record outshines, not even Casals. In the fast movements the fire and electricity are irresistible. Well balanced radio recording.' Super rare set And it's Sealed!Didn't the fun of Ebay used to be the auction format?
And how now 90% of the records for sale are Buy It Now sales-often at exorbitant prices?
I am committed to the auction format. At low starting prices. Let the fun begin!

RECORD GRADES:
SEALED: Sealed. As collectors know, not necessarily a guarantee of condition.
MINT: Not used by me.
MINT MINUS (Mint-): Used only for a super, super clean looking and sounding disc.
NEAR MINT+ ( NM+): Maybe a tick or two.
NEAR MINT (NM): A record that is almost perfect with audio flaws limited to very slight and isolated ticks and usually no visual flaws. Rare non-sounding
visual flaws will be noted.
NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-): Occassional visual flaws that are non-sounding, and very minimal noise-slight occasional mild tick- that does not intrude
on the music (for 99% of listeners).
VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS PLUS, VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS, VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+++, VG++,VG+): A record that may have some slight
flaws, occasional ticks, very few repeating light ticks, etc. VG+ same as VG++ but more pronounced, VG+++ less pronounced.
VERY GOOD (VG): May have additional ticks or background noise that is audible in lower and middle volume passages and scratches that cause
mild and moderate noise. May be noticeable but generally the music is still appreciable and enjoyable for many listeners. Usually an extremely rare
or valuable record with some redeeming value.
I try to grade records fairly and conservatively. I try to mention specific defects as I hear them. However variation exists in playback systems and even
in the ears of different listeners. Some pressings are known to have background noise that are inherent in the original tapes and pressings. Older
monophonic records and even new records made from older (78) records or tapes also have inherent noise in them. I play grade all records but cannot
possibly listen to the whole program. I do spot check visual flaws when seen. My system is a Linn LP12-Lingo Turntable with a Graham 2.2 tonearm,
Ortofon Jubilee cartridge with Standard Exposure amp-preamp and Thiel speakers. My system is very transparent and reveals a lot of detail in the music
which can include surface noise. A friend of mine who also has a Linn LP12 with Krell amps and Linn tonearm and cartridge routinely grades my records
a half to full grade higher than I do. And they actually do sound different (mellower-better or veiled-worse) on his system. Please check my feedback
and you will see customers who are happy with the quality and description of the records purchased. However I am only human and may occasionally
miss something. Therefore I do offer a full refund if not satisfied, less shipping charges of course.
REFERENCES: The Penguin Stereo Record Guide Second Edition critiques 1000s of classical records, particularly European pressings, with some
American pressings. Records are judged on a 1 to 3 star basis with a special ‘Rosette’ for truly extraordinary discs. Johnathan Valin is the author
of ‘Living Stereo-The RCA Bible’ in which he critiques the RCA catalog. James Mitchell wrote The Golden Age of RCA Records in which he discusses
and rates the RCA catalog on a 1-10 basis with a 10+ and 10++ for extraordinarily good discs.
SHIPPING: Please check out my other auctions. I will combine shipping charges for multiple purchases. All USA buyers will have packages
shipped by Media Mail: $4 for the 1st LP and $1 more for each additional LP with a $0.80 charge for delivery confirmation for tracking purposes.
International customers will have items shipped Priority Mail International. According to the USPS website delivery is within 6-10 days, tracking and

mishaps. Please note that insurance-tracking will be waived only at my discretion (First Class International Mail-limit up to 4 pounds). To estimate cost
you can check the USPS website. If a buyer wants to waive their paypal buyer protection they cannot do so legally at present. So if I agree to ship
without insurance or tracking I am taking your word that you will not use your Paypal protection policy and get their money back. I have had buyers do this.
According to Paypal no matter what you say or write in an email you can still turn around and use the paypal buyer guarantee. I would love to trust
