SXL 6043 - Decca Wide Band Grooved ED1 pressing: "Original Recording By"- First Stereo Pressing
STAMPERS 1E/1E
Original FFSS inner sleeve
Highly praised and sought after performances in this wonderful sounding stereo recording.
The record has an excellent sheen and shows some signs of being played. The single time I played it, it played faultlessly (with no jumps, skips or repeated ticks) and with a quiet background, except for a mark on the final tack on side 2 (Quartettsatz) which gives rise to intermittent ticks for about 3 minutes, quite loud in places, preventing the disc being graded near mint.
The picture gives a very good impression of the sleeve, excellent condition (robust and no splits) with a little shelf wear/creasing and some light discoloration.
The disc and sleeve are visually graded EX/EX, 78/78 respectively (see below).
Please note that I use specialist LP mailer envelopes and sturdy card stiffeners to ensure protection of LPs in transit.
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 and 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.
