---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some general remarks: This is the first US pressing of this very sought after title. Sonically it is unsurpassed, neither the 180 grams Classic records re-issue, nor their 45RPM re-issue sounds as natural, spacey and analogue as this Original. LSC-2400 is one of the rarest Living Stereo's and musically absolutely stunning.
I grade my records on top notch equipment, using the expensive Lyra Kleos MC-cartridge. It reveals 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. I clean all records on my Keith Monks RCM II and add the Nagaoka N102 protective sleeve to each record.
The Vinyl: EXCELLENT+ to NEAR MINT
The surfaces are clean, a few hairlines only, no scratches, no loud clicks or pops. Fantastic condition. I graded this one at a very high volume to make sure I do not miss any flaw but it played wonderful.
The Labels: NEAR MINT
A few spindle traces only, very clean, bright colors.
The Sleeve: VG++
Original first Sleeve. I downgraded it because it looks like it has been taped at the top but whoever did this was very professional and careful. No edge rubbing, the white back has a few scuffs from age, nothing serious. Very presentable. Spine is strong and clearly readable, just a bit of rubbing.
Original Inner Sleeve: EXCELLENT
No splits, no creases, clean, a bit yellowing from age.
A truly very 1st US pressing and highly recommended. On my list of the TOP 5 classical records.
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 listed 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.
Payment is required within 3 working days after auction ended.
I pack my records professionally in stiff record mailers leaving the Vinyl (housed in Nagaoka anti-static bags) outside the Sleeve.
Good luck.
