Columbia 33CX 1113 - Blue & Gold Label
Rare, highly praised and sought after performance.
The record shows some signs of being played but retains a good sheen with some light marks (most probably paper marks from the sleeve) that can only be seen in a certain light. The single time I played it, it played well generally, particularly the D minor Concerto side, with a background noise in places and random crackles and pops (most probably due to dust/handling over time). The A minor Concerto has more marking with scattered ticks and a mark on the first track of A minor concerto side which gives rise to about two minutes of repeated ticks.
The picture gives a very good impression of the sleeve, excellent condition, fully intact with some shelf wear to the spine.
The disc and sleeve are visually graded EX/EX, 75/79 respectively (see below).

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.
