Description
Here's a nice copy of a classic London Stereo Full Frequency Stereo Sound Wide Band Groove LP with blue back cover. This features Ernest Ansermet conducting the L'Orcheste de la Suisse Romande with violin solos by Ruggiero Ricci on Prokofiev's Concerto No. 1 and Concerto No. 2. The London release number is CS.6059. This appears to be an early pressing with stamper numbers ZAL-3897-1K on side one and ZAL-3897-1E on side two.
This includes the original London FFSS innersleeve in excellent condition.
Condition:
Jacket - The front shows some light wear, but the image is still clear. The color at the top of the back cover is beginning to fade a little bit, but otherwise looks nice, except for three small numbers written lightly in ink near the top. All seams are intact, there are no splits on the edges, though one tiny split is forming at the top corner at the mouth, and there is some light wear at the top from rubbing. All text on the spine can be read clearly. Overall, this jacket grades at VG+, maybe slightly higher.
Record - This record appears to have been rarely played and generally well-cared for. Side one looks very glossy and generally unmarked so it grades at NM-; side two has bigger marks, but they don't seem to impact play on my system, so side grades at NM---.
Regarding shipping - I use new high quality materials and pack carefully.
Regarding grading - I try to grade by Goldmine standards. I do not use the grade mint on records that have been unsealed.
