HERBERT VON KARAJAN
VIENNA PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA
Original 1961 Stereo LP record - SXL 2261 - Wide Band Grooved ED1 - First Stereo Pressing.
Rare, highly praised and sought after performances in this magnificently sounding stereo recording.
*******
The record shows some little signs of being played but still retains a bright sheen and is visually graded NM 83 (see below).
It plays virtually faultlessly with no skips, jumps or repeated ticks with some very light crackle around the edges probably due to dust/handling over the years.
The picture gives a good impression of the flip back sleeve, robust and fully intact, no slits or tears; very little shelf wear at the corners and edges but some discoloration to the front and rear edges and is visually graded EX/NM 79/80.
Satisfaction guaranteed - a full refund of the purchase price (excluding postage & packing costs) will be given for any item which does not comply with my description/grading and is returned to me within 14 days of receipt.
Bid with confidence - Low starting Price and no Reserve

Record Condition Grading System
I apply a visual grading system as follows:
90% Mint, (90% is the highest figure I give as no records are perfect)
80-89% Near Mint, NM almost flawless, at 85% only the lightest scuff marks to the record, slight wear to the cover; above 85% and up to 89%, there should be no marks on the playing surface of the record. Below 85%, down to 80%, there will be progressively more marking, but this will only be very light and superficial.
70-79% Excellent, EX, a few more light surface marks than will be seen at 80-85%, light ring wear or creasing to cover, slight tears/laminate lift to the cover. Remains of price labels or sellotape may be evident to the cover.
60-69% Very Good, VG, more obvious marks to the record, more obvious creasing, ring wear or laminate lift, worse tears to the cover. There may be ticks from the record but see below*.
The information is provided for the record first, and then for the cover or box, for example you will find NM/NM in the notes on each record followed by, for example, 85/85. This means 85% both for the record and for the cover.
Records are viewed under both daylight and under a halogen light where practical to clearly shows any marks.
*This is a visual grading system. If I am aware of any audio problems affecting a record, such as ticks, I will provide this information in detail.
