"Keeping vinyl alive"

"All records are professionally cleaned prior to review"

Leonid Kojan

• The Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Kyril Kondrashin

Catalogue Number: SAX 2307  - Stereo

Labels: Columbia - Blue/Silver - Immaculate Labels

Matrix Numbers: YAX 303/6 - YAX304/11 - Machine Stamped

Vinyl: The album is in Excellent + condition, it has been professionally cleaned on an Okki Nokki machine. It lies perfectly flat on the deck and is of heavy gauge vinyl. There is some very light paper scuffing associated with taking the album out of the inner but this is very minor indeed. I have played the album right on two systems, one on a Linn deck with Akito arm, the other a Clear Audio deck. I detected three light pops on side one and no imperfections on side 2. Visually the vinyl is superb with a lovely sheen to both sides. There is a small non play impacting mark on side 1 and the faintest hairline mark but you have to look closely to see that. Side 2 is immaculate with no imperfections of any kind. The overall sound quality is superb throughout, never heard this album before so it has been a real joy listening to this music by such an accomplished player and orchestra.

Year of Release: 1960

Country Of Release: UK

Manufactured In: UK

Sleeve: Garrod and Lofthouse (patents pending) laminated flipback sleeve is in Excellent + condition throughout. No creasing, pen marks etc. All intact, the spine is clearly readable, all edges and corners are fine. A superb sleeve considering the age of the item.  Lined EMI (Opera house) inner in Excellent + condition. Extensive sleeve notes by W.A. Chislett. A really beautiful sleeve, looks like new.

Small business founded in 2006 – based in Lichfield Staffordshire. We sell high quality vinyl, singles and occasionally CDs. In addition, we organize a number of specialist vinyl record fairs in Lichfield. . We aim to provide the very best customer service at all times – accurate gradings, strong packaging and all at a keen price. Any queries please mail me at thoseoldrecords@btinternet.com

Record Grading:

All records are graded as per the standards set by Record Collector. Records are examined under a strong halogen light and graded accordingly. In addition, all NON MINT records are played on a LINN Axis turntable with an Akito arm with a Roksan cartridge. I tend not to get carried away with the classification or use words like “impossibly rare” “vault copy” or any other such nonsense.  My reviews are precise and to the point.  It is assumed that you know something of the artist so I rarely provide a description of who they are/were etc. The High Numbers become The Who, `N Betweens become Slade – you will not find a long description on the history in these reviews.

Record Cleaning:

All NON MINT albums are professionally cleaned prior to classification on an Okki Nokki record cleaning machine before dispatch. 

Packaging: (all vinyl 7” + 12”)

Packaging is of the highest quality.  I use professional mailers at all times, each record is supported by 2 cardboard stiffeners. The inner sleeve and record are packed individually in order to reduce wear on the sleeve in transit. The record, inner and cardboard stiffeners are then packed inside a high grade polythene record protector before being sealed in the mailer. The mailer is then supported by tape around the edges in order to minimise risk.

Postage Costs:

Postage is normally done the next working day after payment. Proof of postage is retained with all items. Recorded delivery on request.
