DECCA SXL 2006 – Mendelssohn Violin Concertos – Ricci – ED 1

 

Black with silver lettering, deep circular groove, “Original Recorded by … “

 

Sleeve: FAIR

 

The sleeve shows heavy wear and tear and hence has been repair with sellotape in order to reinforce the edges.  There is a piece missing from the front of the sleeve that is visual on the photograph.  The rear of the sleeve is in better condition with no markings etc.  Although the sleeve shows heavy wear and tear it has not been subjected to water damage hence no mould and the repair has significantly improved the integrity of the sleeve.

 

Inner Sleeve:  NM

 

The original sleeve is missing hence it has been replaced with a new poly-lined sleeve.

 

Label: EX

 

Clean labels, no stickers or damage.  Signs of been played i.e. very light visible spindle marks.

 

All the records I sell have been played thoroughly, hence why there is both a visual and audio grading to enable you to get the best possible impression of the record you are bidding on.

 

Vinyl Visually:  Side 1 EX / Side 2 EX

 

Side 1: The record has a full original glossy sheen but does show some signs of having been played, with the occasional scuff or light scratch visible when tilted at various angles or under strong light.

 

Side 2: The record has a full original glossy sheen but does show some signs of having been played, with the occasional scuff or light scratch visible when tilted at various angles or under strong light.

  

 

Vinyl Audio:  Side 1 EX / Side 2 G +

 

Side 1: The sound quality is excellent, displays no loud crackles, no loud clicks and no jumps. There is some minimal low level background surface noise (occasional static / clicks) in some places; however this is occasional and only appears infrequently and is not consistent throughout the playing of the album. May be removed by professional cleaning.

 

Side 2: Unfortunately Side 2 in not the same grading as Side 1, consequently I have played it very little.  Although the record has no significant damage i.e. jumps / scratches loud pops etc. the introduction has louder than average surface noise.  In all honesty I haven’t had it professionally cleaned and therefore because it is only surface noise a professional may be able to remove it.  After the first couple of minutes the surface noise does fade.

 

Overall:  This record has been in my collection because the quality of Side 1 is excellent. If you are looking for an excellent copy of Side 1 & Side 2, please do not bid.  However if you know how to restore vinyl through cleaning or would like this record in your collection purely for Side 1 then you will get a bargain.
