Many thanks for your interest in my records! I've collected records for over 30 years and as such sometimes take stock and realise how many duplicates I have accrued, and how many records I no longer listen to. I grade using the RRPG Record Collector grading system, though feel that I grade down if anything, please check my feedback for proof of this! I have sold many records (some incredibly rare ones in the 4 figures) over the years, so please rest assured that my gradings have been satisfactory so far! Though, If you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me before leaving negative feedback. I haven't had negative feedback so far, and don't intend to start now if I can at all help it!
I'll combine records for the same price for up to 3 disks (double LPs count as 2!), and at as reduced a rate as I can beyond that! International bidders please ask, as I'll send them as cheaply as possible for you,but they must be sent tracked and insured.

Here's an incredibly rare record! The rare 2nd Ed DEEP GROVE WIDEBAND SXL 2289! The classic and sumptuous STEREO version from DVORAK'S NEW WORLD SYMPHONY (No.5 in E minor Op. 95) with Istvan KERTESZ conducting the VIENNA PHILARMONIC ORCHESTRA with "MADE IN ENGLAND..." rim text. And this is an absolutely beautiful copy! Absolutely fantastic condition visually and even more importantly, audibly!

Record Condition Audio: EX+ Beautifully crystal clear perfection from start to finish! What an incredible find! One of my most excited crate-sifting experiences when I found this! Oddly enough in a box that had no other classical music in it! Very strange, but very pleasing!

Record Condition Visual: EX/EX+ So crisp and clear, barely any signs of play, beautiful mirror, with just a few of the faintest surface marks/“withdrawal”-style surface hairlines only visible when angled into strong direct light in the most unforgiving circumstances! Perfect audio! A really beautiful record, I wish all records could be like this!

Labels Condition: EX+ Perfect beautiful deep groove “Made In England” labels, completely free from stains/graffiti/fading/tears etc. Side one doesn’t even have the slightest sign of a spindle trail even when angled into strong, direct light, side two does have one only visible when angled into strong direct light, and is so light, that it isn’t easy to spot any other way! Absolutely beautiful! 

Sleeve Condition: EX/EX+ Beautiful and odd gatefold sleeve! Laminated front and back and on the inside right hand partial "pouch"! Judging by the overall condition of this record, it feels like this sleeve would have fared incredibly well even if it didnt have the lamination, however,with the laminated protection,this sleeve is a real wonder! Beautifully crisp edges in every way, absolutely no nicks, and barely any signs of handling at all. If the spine were printed with text then it would be perfectly legible, as it's perfectly crisp,however,it never was printed with text. The very slightest of corner rub, where a few milimetres of age dicolouration is very slightly visible under close scrutiny. The lamination is wonderfully sheer, with just 3 very faint handling crescents that I can make out when angled across strong direct light. I spotted a handful of specks on the white of the laminated back-cover, but discovered these to be under the lamination, included in the manufacturing process (I have found this before in 60s primarily white sleeves, such as a perfect copy of Beggar's Banquet). The edges of this marsupial sleeve's internal pouch are absolutely perfect, unbelieveably really, as they look so delicate! The non-laminated inside left cover has only a tiny age mottle at the very bottom left of the photo. Also, when you look very closely very slight signs of red/black and blue printing bleed-through from the titles on the front, this is of course is a manufacturing issue that I have seen none without!
