David Oistrakh / Eugene Ormandy Sebilius Violin Concerto / Columbia 6-eye Stereo 1B/1B Vinyl condition:
strong VG++ to NM- / bright clear sound!
Nice original here, surface looks excellent. No skips during play but there is some very light background noise periodically. Not For Sale sticker on label. Playback is as heard in the clip below, the sample is taken direct from the record. The recording is superb.

Matrix numbers are:
XXSM50064-1B and XXSM50065-1B (respectively)

This is a rather rare original first press album, the vinyl has been cleaned on a VPI machine carefully and thoroughly. I have listened to the entire album and have recorded it to hard disk. I can upload the entire MP3 file up to my server for the winning bidder to download if they choose. Below is a clip from the record and is typical for the playback:

Here's a link to  the record's sound during playback:

Cover condition:
VG++ to NM-
The cover is in beautiful condition with no splits. Small corner rub at bottom corner at mouth. Bright, sharp and clean cover overall. Stamped Demonstration on back cover.


Inner Sleeve condition:
Inner sleeve is in acceptable condition with some creases.


I try to be very conservative when grading and want to be as thorough as possible with my listings. If you have any questions, please contact me through eBay's message system.

Thanks!
Mike

Transaction Details:

Packaging:
Packaging each record takes place after payment is received. The record is taken out of its cover and sleeve and wrapped separately to avoid splits or damage during shipping. Professional packing materials are used and all orders travel well-padded.

Shipping:
I can combine shipping of multiple orders purchased within the same week. Shipping prices for combined orders will vary by weight and all domestic orders come with delivery confirmation. Orders will ship within 1-5 business days.

International orders will be shipped via the United States Postal Service First Class International mail service. Each international order will have a postmarked receipt with a customs number that can be used to find where the package entered your country - this also serves as proof I shipped your package. Each order goes through this process.

The United States Postal Service raised their rates as of January 28th, 2013. Please understand the higher shipping rates are beyond my control. Also, I am unable to mark a package as a gift or alter the final price of an item to help the buyer avoid paying import fees. This is illegal here in the United States and I will not break the law, please do not ask me to do so.

Grading:
Each record is conservatively graded. I take time to provide a detailed description, regularly accompanied by detailed pictures and, at times, a sound clip of the record during playback.

SS = Still Sealed
Never opened. Any flaws (torn shrinkrwrap, creasing) will be indicated in the description.

NM- = Near Mint Minus
Has been opened, but is still flawless with no damage whatsoever.

VG+ = Very Good Plus
- Vinyl: May have scuff marks and signs of some wear but will still play almost perfectly throughout, with only "barely detectable" crackles or pops. A slight noise at the begining is allowable, but the remainder must be nearly flawless.
- Cover: May only have the slightest signs of normal wear.

VG = Very Good
The majority of records (worth selling) fall under this grade.
- Vinyl: May crackle, pop or make other annoying noises, but only occasionally,never continuously, and not more loudly than the music being listened to.
- Cover: Normal used cover wear such as ring wear and split seams. If there is abnormal damage such as tears or markings, but the seller still feels that it qualifies as a "VG", the damage must be described in comments attached to the item.

G+ = Good Plus
- Vinyl: May have continuous crackles, pops, etc... but not so loud as to make the music completely unenjoyable for the casual listener.
- Cover: More than normal wear and tear.
