Description

Members of THE VIENNA OCTET / BEETHOVEN - " SEPTET IN E FLAT MAJOR ", Decca Record Company Ltd (SXL 2157) Stereo, 1959.

Very rare 1959, first UK Stereo pressing of the Decca LP with the Wideband grooved label, featuring the all important "Original Recording by" label text - see photo.

English issue and pressing.

Professionally cleaned on my Moth record cleaning machine and then put in a fresh new poly-lined inner sleeve (the original inner sleeve has also been retained and included in the auction - see photo)

In the name of a good auction, I will start this LP at just 99p!


CONDITION:

VINYL =  EXCELLENT-  (No big scratches, no groove damage, no distortion, just a few light spindle trails, etc. Under a bright grading lamp I can make out a few very light marks and faint surface scuffs visible on the vinyl's surface - although none of these correspond directly to any audible defects. It generally plays well - mostly free from interuption from distortion, clunks, excessive surface, etc... when listening in headphones, there is some very faint occasional surface noise audible during the runi-in and some of the quieter sections and as the record played, I did hear the odd faint click in the background.
Overall, although it is not quite perfect, it is by no means ruined by these minor imperfections and would still make a good honest copy for someone to play and enjoy.

Note: for the purposes of this listing I have tested this LP on my Linn LP12 Sondek turntable - generally this is quite a critical test, but I must point out that I cannot guarantee exactly how this LP will sound on your turntable - common sense for most... but then this is ebay!!!)

SLEEVE = FAIR (As my photo clearly shows, this sleeve has seen better days... the rear is off-white, with some grubby areas and a tear to the top flip-back. The front has suffered more though, with heavy shelf/ring-wear and other wear to the edges and corners, plus a few lighter creases afflicting it too - see photos for further clarification)



NOTE: I must point out that we are actually a long standing physical record shop, with many decades worth of selling, trading and grading records under our collective belts. Unlike so many of the jokers now selling records on ebay, we know how to grade records. Before bidding, please read my description carefully, decide how much this record is worth to you and place you max bid accordingly. Please also feel free to check out my feedback from the many other successful transactions I have made in the past.


ANY QUESTIONS? PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO GET IN TOUCH!

HAPPY BIDDING!!!!!
