On Decca SXL 2180 and 2181 Wideband label (Ed 1 with groove)
Simple grading can be misleading, so please read the full description of condition which I hope will be helpful.
Condition: The two records are housed in a thick plastic envelope sleeve with transparent front section housing libretto booklet (there is a 2 inch tear to the edge of the clear plastic). The records come complete with original Decca FFSS poly lined inners.
The textured labels bear a few spindle marks, but nothing to suggest that the records have been over-played. The heavyweight vinyl is in nice shape, retaining much original lustre. Any surface marking is minimal and does not cause interference - they sound excellent on my system, playing with just very light background crackle in places - probably the result of static / 50 years' worth of dust.
( - as with many records of this age, it might benefit from cleaning on professional grade equipment.)
Overall, this is a fine, good playing set. I am not a dealer, but would guess that this might be graded as VG- / VG+ / VG+ (sleeve/vinyls per RC guidelines)
Please note: I try to test-play a significant part of each record before listing, but do not have time to play fully in all cases. As a record collector myself, I have had disappointing purchases, so if you do encounter a problem, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do all I can to rectify the situation.
Postage: I do not set out to profit from P&P charges - price quoted below is my best estimate of exact Royal Mail charge plus 40p to cover the cost of a brand new custom cardboard mailer and stiffener in order to give your purchase extra protection in transit. Packages are only covered for approx £40 compensation, so you may wish to purchase additional insurance (which can be expensive for overseas mail). I am happy to combine shipping to minimize expense for multiple purchases (though a 2kg total limit per package will be observed for overseas shipping). ?
Postage cost (860 gms packed) - UK £3.75, USA & Far East £11.23, Europe £6.23
Payment by Sterling cheque / sterling money order or Paypal
