Up for auction here at NO RESERVE is "Balalaika Favorites" performed by the Osipov State Russian Folk Orchestra on the Mercury label, catalog #SR 90310. The cover is gorgeous VG++. The "deep groove" record with RFR1 and RFR3 stampers and is a blazing NM. This is one of the most celebrated Cozart & Fine 35mm film recordings and made on location in Russia. This should be in every audiophile's collection for the great music and great recording. Be sure to view my other auctions for more great audiophile pressings and great classical LPs.
Goldmine Magazine Record Grading Standard
Mint Perfect, flawless. Legitimate sellers seldom use this grade. When a record is truly
Mint, it deserves (and receives) a large premium over other grades.
M- or NRMT (Mint Minus or Near Mint) – Usually the highest grade. Records from the
1950s & 60s in this condition are truly rare.
VG++ (Very Good Plus Plus) – Beautiful collectible condition. Only the slightest of
wear, certainly no deep scratches.
VG+ (Very Good Plus) - Great condition. Well cared for.
VG (Very Good) – Still good condition, but more wear than VG+.
VG- (Very Good Minus) - Generally not collectible condition, unless it’s a super rare
record. Most dealers avoid records in this shape or below.
G (Good) – Lots of wear, but still playable. The most confusing grade! Good really does
not mean good. It is actually quite poor condition.
WBR (Wrecked But Rare) – Otherwise known as a Starter Copy. Not cracked, but a
starter copy
