*******
2 LP Box Set
Two His Master's Voice 1969 LP recordings - ASD 2518-9 (SLS 785) - 1st Colour Postage Stamp Label; 1st stereo pressing of this recording.
Includes a four page insert giving details of the work and the composer.
A wonderful set of these very highly praised and sought after performances in a magnificently sounding stereo recording.
Very Rare 1st pressing
*******
The records show very little signs of being played , still retain a very bright sheen and are visually graded NM/84 & 86(see below) - they play faultlessly with no jumps, skips or repeated ticks and with a quiet background, except that disc one (side 1 track 2) has a very small mark which gives rise to 15 light ticks.
The pictures gives a good impression of the box, clean, robust, fully intact and no splits, with just a little shelf wear at the corners: NM/85. The insert is fully intact but has some creasing through usage.
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/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 record is 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*.
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.
