Description

1.      All the vinyl I sell I personally listen to on my Rega P3 before listing to ensure correct description.

No discernable surface noise, clicks and pops means the record plays as near new with nothing to mar your listening pleasure.

 

I only sell vinyl in top condition unless I state otherwise.

 

The only vinyl I sell which is not near mint are possibly rare records which are very hard to find and a less than near mint album is acceptable because of the scarcity.

I always describe this vinyl as  it sounds notifying the surface noise clicks pops etc.

All the vinyl I sell I personally listen to on my Rega P3 before listing to ensure correct description.

Humperdinck – Hansel Und Gretel Suite – Kempe – RPO

Mendelssohn – A Midsummer Nights Dream – Incidental Music

Label – HMV ASD460 – White and Gold with Red/Gold Lettering

Matrix –  2YEA577-2 and 2YEA546-9

Year – Recording first published 1962

Vinyl – The vinyl is in excellent clean condition with a bright sheen to look at with a very occasional light surface mark/scratch. There are negligible spindle marks on label. .. It plays as follows

Side 1 – There is no surface noise and a very occasional light click

EXCEPT

There are 15 repetative clicks (approx 30 secs) caused by a small scratch at the end of track 1 – The Overture

Side 2. This plays excellently with no discernable surface noise, clicks or pops

EXCEPT

There are 7 repetative light clicks near the beginning of track 1. There is the occasional patch of light noise also on the very quiet beginning of track one – otherwise plays as near new all the way through

Inner Sleeve – Original poly lined paper  sleeve in excellent clean condition with some corner creasing possibly caused by fold over when inserting into the sleeve

Outer sleeve –   Garrod and Lofthouse with laminated front  in excellent clean unmarked condition.  A little light wear along the sleeve opening otherwise would be mint. The rear is unlaminated and also in excellent clean condition. There are flip over seams and the top seam has half and inch missing in the top right corner. All the liner notes are fully legible. There is negligible edge wear/creasing. The spine is intact and proud

All in all if it wasn’t for the clicks at the beginning of each side which were probably caused by poor stylus placement this whole package considering its age would be as near to near  mint as I would think possible. However, this is only my opinion

Being as this is quite rare and sort after, if it sells it will be sent recorded in the UK and overseas bidders will have the option of Internationally Signed for for an extra £2.50. This normally costs £5.00 but i will split the cost. If this option is not taken  i will get proof of posting but cannot be held responsible for loss in post
