Description
STAR YLP 120 - Corelli / Bazzini / Debussy / Bloch - Heimo Haitto, Irma Ruuskanen
Perhaps one of the rarest violin record known. Never sold on Discogs, only twice on eBay. Cult Finnish violinist Heimo Haitto performing on obscure Finnish STAR label. Child prodigy, known as the Finnish Heifetz. Seriously good and seriously rare. Hence a serious offer requested!
I'M RE-LISTING THIS RARITY ONLY ONCE BEFORE STORING IT FOR ANOTHER 2 YEARS OR MORE. SO NOW OR NEVER???......
Cover: VG+/EX-; 1 inch split lower seam, 1 inch split back seam, few stains on the cover, light ring wear
Vinyl: Side 1: fingernail trace over the entire side, not sounding though. Some very superficial small marks overall without corrupting the sound on my mono set up. Overall visual rate would be a safe & strong VG+, while playback grade would be EX(+)
Side 2: looks a little less attractive with some more shallow fine marks; rated VG(+). But play back is like side 1 EX(+) as well. Both sides play without back ground noise!!!
I grade visually and (partly) play grade whenever in doubt. Stereo issues on a Linn LP12 with a Lyra Delos cartridge. Mono issues on a Thorens TD135 with a General Electric VRII cartridge; please be aware that this is a true mono Variable Reluctance cartridge, thus playing with a minimum of groove noise and hardly picking up any imperfections that these older mono records frequently have
As I don't have my own professional cleaning equipment, I consider (and recommend) this to the buyer. In my experience records easily gain a grade with professional cleaning

Dear Ebuyers: For some reason, Ebay has decided that shipment to the US for this category is not allowed to exceed $4. Actual shipping from the Netherlands is currently Euro 18.10 for a package up to 2 kilograms for World shipping. I convert this amount monthly to USD with xe.com and add $1 and a bit for the costs of the new fillers, etcetera. So please do not check out automatically but allow me to send you the invoice with my actual shipping costs. Thank you so much for your understanding.
Finally: in case you don't agree with my ratings or have any other issue with my listing, please contact me and we shall work it out. I will give full refunds (item price + shipping costs), however the shipping costs for sending the item back is for the buyer unless I have made a significant mistake.
