-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the best Decca recordings, musically and sonically.
I compare my pressings on top notch equipment, using the expensive BENZ MICRO SLR Gullwing MC-cartridge with the Micro Ridge cut diamond and the top-notch Lyra Kleos cartridge. These pick-ups reveal everything from any Vinyl which sometimes can be a curse, especially with 40+ year old records. When I grade a record as Excellent, I am pretty sure many other sellers would not hestitate to call it Near Mint. When I give a record the "Near Mint" grading it is practically flawless. I am collecting Vinyl since 35+ years and own hundreds of records from the day they came into the shops.
The Vinyl: EXCELLENT+/NEAR MINT
Held up into a very strong light I can see a few surface hairlines but no scratches. The Vinyl is clean and shiny. The playback is fantastic throughout. A very few low level static tics only in places. The Vinyl sits flat on the turntable.
The Labels: EXCELLENT+
Held into strong light I can see a few spindle traces, labels are very clean, bright black and silver colors. No dirt or stain, no unwanted writing.
The Original flip-back Sleeve: VG+
Laminated on the front, non-laminated on the back. Has some laminate creases and laminate bubbles on the front, no splits, white back very clean except for some resdue from a former price sticker on the upper right, very soft ring-wear, no unwanted writing, no stain, no rips or tears.
Original Inner Sleeve: EXCELLENT+
Extremely well preserved. No splits, tears or rips. No unwanted writing. One small crease only. Fantastic.
In case of any further questions please don't hesitate to mail me. I will answer promptly.
Due to the somehow weird eBay policies regarding postage please ignore the postage fee mentioned above. I decided to fix shipping at 7 GBP to anywhere in Europe and 9 GBP to the rest of the world. This includes the fees for "signed for/registered" and also Insurance to make sure the record arrives safely. It also allows to track it during its transit. The record ships from Germany.
I pack my records professionally in stiff record mailers leaving the Vinyl (housed in Nagaoka anti-static bags) outside the Sleeve.
Good luck.
