Description

Up for auction or sale is a truly fantastic classical LP. 
This is a recording of Janos Starker (the world's premier cellist of the post-Casals generation) and Gyorgy Sebok (pianist) performing Johannes Brahms' two cello Sonatas: Op. 38 in E minor and Op. 99 in F major. The record is a Mercury Living Presence Stereo pressing (SR 90392), the same series (dark maroon label) as the famous Starker Bach unaccompanied cello suites pressing by Mercury (one of the most sought-after classical LPs of its genre and time period).
The Jacket is in Excellent/Near Mint Minus condition. Its only flaw is a few very light but noticeable indentations on the front upper left hand corner. They are so shallow I had trouble photographing them, but I felt they bumped the jacket from a true Near Mint to an EX (or Near Mint -) rating. The corners of this jacket are nearly perfect. No fraying or wear of the laminate beyond what could be caused by extremely careful and light handling.
The Disc is in Near Mint condition. It is literally flawless. 
I do not clean records that I intend to sell, so there is some dust on the disc. 
That is LITERALLY the only problem, which could be easily removed by a quick cleaning. There are absolutely NO scratches, nicks, smudges, or even fingerprints on this disc. I have tried to take pictures which indicate the pristine condition of this record.
I am selling this record along with the rest of a truly incredible classical LP library collected by a family friend who recently passed away. This disc and all of his library were meticulously packaged, handled, and maintained from the time of their original purchase until his passing. The discs he bought new are in truly perfect condition. Like many record sellers I do not use the label "Mint," but I am often tempted when looking at these.
If you are interested in purchasing more of my collection, look at my other listed items. The list should grow quickly - I have many, many boxes of LPs to get through.
Thanks for reading, Dan

Policies and Procedures:
Payment: I accept only PayPal, and payment must be received within 5 business days of auction end.
Shipping: I make every attempt to package all records in a safe, yet economical way. The all LPs will be removed from their jackets (left in their paper sleeves) and flat wrapped with bubble wrap against a rigid-cardboard spacer before being placed in a suitable mailing package.
ALL INTERNATIONAL (NON-USA) BUYERS SHOULD WAIT FOR AN INVOICE BEFORE MAKING PAYMENTS.
International shipping is great! I am happy to ship all over the world. As noted above, the customer will pay the ACTUAL shipping costs. For Asia this may be quite high (50+ USD), for Europe it is usually more reasonable (less than $20 USD). If you wish to know the cost before purchasing/bidding, please send me your address/shipping information and I will get a quote for you.
Grading: I use the Goldmine Grading Guide to determine my grades. If you should find the record grading below your satisfaction, contact me and we will work something out. I would prefer to make arrangements after the sale than deal with negative feedback.
If you have any questions at all please ask. Also I am happy to take detailed photos of any portion of the record or jacket you would like to see up close.
Thanks again for looking, and don't forget to check out my other LPs for sale.
