2800 CLASSICAL RECORDS FROM RADIO STATION

APPROXIMATELY 2800 RECORDS AND 54 BOX SETS  FROM A CLASSICAL RADIO STATION. YOU WILL FIND THE MAJORITY OF THEM IN VG++ to NM CONDITION AS RADIO STATIONS WERE VERY CAREFUL WITH RECORDS. THE SLEEVES THEMSELVES ARE MOSTLY IN GOOD CONDITION THOUGH SOME HAVE RADIO STICKERS, STATION STAMPS, DJ NOTES & PLAY TIMES,MOST ON THE BACK. CUT CORNERS & DRILL HOLES.  A FEW ARE SIGNED ON THE BACK BY THE ARTIST.

RECORDS ARE FROM THE 1950'S - 1980'S, CAN'T SAY HOW MUCH FROM EACH TIME PERIOD BUT GOING THROUGH AND SEPARATING THEM FROM THE OPERA RECORDS IT LOOKS PRETTY EVEN, TO MY UNTRAINED EYE.

There are probably, guessing, 40 - 50% imports and some have labels I've never heard of. THERE ARE MANY REGULAR PROMOS, WHITE LABEL PROMOS, MONO, STEREO and DIGITAL, I can't help but think that there are many good sets in here and some quite valuable.

Some labels I saw are :

PHILLIPS

SERAPHIM

ANGEL

LONDON FFFR

COLUMBIA

RCA/SOME VICTROLA and SHADED DOG

CAPITOL

DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON

TURNABOUT

NONESUCH

CANDIDE

LANDATE

CBS

SHIPPING

NO OVERSEAS SHIPMENT.

I DO NOT WANT TO SHIP THESE.

Each box weighs approximately 40-45 pounds for boxsets, 65 pounds for records. I do not want to ship, I will almost insist on pickup in the Tampa Bay area. However, some pickups may be impossible so I?ll make the following offer. I will pack and haul to the post office your shipment. Each box I pack will cost $4.00 packing and handling, including the box,  plus postage. Media mail will vary depending on location. Box sets will cost approximately $18.00 and single record boxes will cost approximately $25.00, based on your location. THIS IS THE CHEAPEST USPS RATES.THE FINAL PRICES WILL BE APPROXIMATEL $22.00 FOR BOX SETS AND $29.00 FOR RECORD BOXES.

AS I SAID, PICKUP IN TAMPA IS PREFERRED.

RECORD GRADING SYSTEM :
NM??.?Near Mint ? close to a Still sealed condition
NM-??..Near Mint ? A record that looks like it has been recently taken from a sealed album but been played less than 4 times. May have some surface scuffs from sleeve, superficial only. Still has the original luster, the vinyl shines and sparkles almost new.
VG++ to NM- Better than VG++ but not quite NM-. Somewhere in between.
VG++ ?. Very Good ++ light age abrasions are visible, many as a result of the record going in & out of sleeve. The record should play without much/none background noise. While these are present, the record still maintains the original bright luster and still looks new. In other words, the superficial marks should not affect the sound quality of record.
VG+??..Very Good + - a used, reasonable copy. There will be signs of wear and the possibility of light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still quite nice.
VG???.Very Good ? Shows obvious signs of wear, has surface scratches that you can probably hear, but should still play good and it should not skip.

JACKET GRADING
NM- Has sharp corners and no visible blemishes, a jacket that looks like it has not been handled much.
VG++ a jacket with only minor shelf wear, may have light ring wear. no seam splits. it could have a name written somewhere but the name is really not distracting. an album that has been stored properly, standing up
VG+ - a jacket that has been handled properly, but does show its age. may have shelf/record wear, minor seam splits, writing, misc.flaws but is still intact.
VG A jacket that does have noticeable shelf or ring wear?more than a 3? seam split. may have wear to corners, shows distinct wear from handling. there may be ringwear or minor discoloring, may have edge and spine wear.
VG- A COVER THAT HOLDS THE RECORD.

SYMBOLS
AS ? age spots from record sitting in plastic sleeve, should not affect play, or light spots on cover,.
cc ? Cut Corner
dh = drill hole in label or jacket or cut corner on cover
cw = cover wear, age spots or ring wear, usually not too bad dj = disc jocky or promo issue, usually but not always white label, sometimes promo stamp on label
ST = number or name sticker on label or cover
WR ? writing in pen or ink on label or cover
SS ? seam split, will have a number with it indicating how many inches long the split is, SS4 = 4? Seam Split
LSP ? light spindle marks
RH or LH ? right hand or lh side or corner
CW ? Corner wear, 1 or more corners a bit worn but not bad
Each listing will, if needed. have a scale behind it like CW7 ( corner wear )
This scale is 1-10, 1 being the worst, 5 being medium 10 being no wear. CW7 would be medium to light wear, 9 would be very light wear but hardly noticeable
