Philharmonia Orchestra Conducted By Sir Eugene Goossens

Michael Rabin

Paganini - Violin Concerto No. 1 In D Major

Wieniawski - Violin Concerto No.2 In D Minor

Original 1965 Australian World Record Club 12" LP vinyl record. (Mono)
This is Australian World Record Club Pressing of the Capitol Records issue SP 8534 There is a faint scuff on side 1 (seen only on close examination) but there is no effect on the audio.
Superb audio. Pressed from original stampers that were supplied by Capitol Records. I reckon EMI Australia pressed this better than Capitol pressed SP 8534.
A real bargain when you hear it, and even if you have the original, these are worth having, just as a player... There are actually a lot of these Aussie WRC issues that are a match, if not better than the originals, same goes for the EMI, Decca and Columbia pressings of some very expensive UK issues, that often are found with UK stampers, pressed in Australia... Some hidden gems, for virtually peanuts can be gleaned  from Australia.ggggg

A few words about condition.

Grade & 
score out of 100
                                           GRADING
Mint is a Rigid Band - The next Four Grades are all Narrow Bands, that slightly widen as the condition gradually deteriorates - Good is still Good, but there is a rapid widening of the Grade Bands, as the condition deteriorates over the last Four grades.

MINT
100
The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.
The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
Only graded on records that are sealed or clearly unplayed.
 
NEAR MINT
97 to 99        

EXCELLENT
90 to 96
The record shows virtually no signs of having been played,  there is no lessening in sound quality.

VERY GOOD
69 to 79
The record shows signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.
The cover and  packaging might have slight wear, light creasing.

The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.
Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects.
This is an above average used record, that has been well looked after.




GOOD
56 to 68
The record has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated, but the record will still play through, and it will not be a completely unpleasant listening experience, even at the bottom of this grade (56).
The cover and contents may suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc. 




FAIR
41 to 55
The record is still playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even stick, skip or jump.. This is starting to be an unpleasant listening experience at the top of the grade (55) and will not be a pleasant listening experience at all by the end of it (41).
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. 
 
POOR
25 to 40
The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc.
The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing. 
 
BAD
0 - 24
The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
The Sleeve is non existent (0) or what is left, is only just recognisable.
