SAX 2315 / 2LP's! 1ED Oistrakh Violin -2 -16 stamper NM

Description

SOUND SAMPLE AUTO STARTED WHEN YOU OPENED THE PAGE, TURN UP THE VOLUME... and have a READ . 

Before we get started, if your country charges import duty on second hand LP's, sorry but NO I will not underdeclare the customs duty declaration, see the VERY bottom of this description for my valid insurance and legal reasons.

PLEASE READ TOTAL DESCRIPTION BEFORE BIDDING, there is a lot of description to read and hear !!!

2 copies, ONE copy is the prefered stamper YLX 1006-2 / YLX 1007-16

NM LP /NM cover Fully TEST played,

OTHER SECOND copy included in auction rated (POOR/POOR) is an original UK Press from the -6/-21 stamper. The experts seem to think the -2/-16 stamper had less surface noise than the therefore not prefered -6/-21 edition. which is a good thing in this instance because the SECOND COPY -6/-21 included in this auction, is 80% played  with repetetive static and tics especially during quiet passages due to some  scratches, and multiple scuffs(see matchhead in photo 15 pointing to ONE of them). It plays without neede skips at 1.5gm headshell and anti skate settings, but when you have the super clean -2/-16 stamper pressing why bother even really trying to play it??  I just include it in this sale as it has the correct UK cover you all recognise, and some one will still want to pay opening bid price just to get a copy of the true UK press.

(ORIGINAL UK cover is a bit rippled and bent from corner impacts, which although their are no seam splits, it does look very tatty when its in your hands).  AS YOU ARE NOW starting to be aware therefore, the NM/NM

sound sample is from the LP you are really bidding on, which is

OF A VERY EARLY PANCAKE  PRESSING FROM THE ORIGINAL UK STAMPERS, BUT PRESSED AT EMI AUSTRALIA.  

IF YOU want to compare a UK -6/-20 STAMPER sound sample to this -2/-16 STAMPER version,

GO to View My Feedback and open the last sale I made of a UK pressing (feedback dated 6 sept 2010), open the description, in a different window, the sound sample is still attached, and you can hear how much background noise is involved in a 118GBP sale....If you have them open in different windows, you can pause each sample and compare sections side by side, then switching screens. It works well for first minute and half then the previously SOLD item has a different sample section due to a scratch I was demonstrating).

  MY COMMENT is, even though you are listening on a tinny computer at a low 192kbps sample rate, you can HEAR the richer fuller tone of the OZ pressed -2/-16 stamper in this sale, compared to the UK sold item in my feedback sample, Try listening around the 1 minute 10 second time in the samples, just after the opening refrain, where the string section  and timpani kick in..........  I think you will agree it sounds fantastic in comparison to the previously sold UK pressed 6/20 stamper, hear for yourself.....

CAUTION, being a flat edged pressing , the OZ one has gained a couple of small tics in that opening minute, although even under magnification I can see NO MARKS in the area producing the couple of NON repetetive tics. (NO edge protection from the cover scuffing, unlike the later pressing having the thicker raised lip edge) HOWEVER BELIEVE ME there is not ONE sign of damage anywhere on this very early OZ press. That's why I rate it NM. all OTHER EXAMPLES I HAVE SEEN IN AUSTRALIA HAVE BEEN THE LATER RAISED EDGE PRESSINGS, WHICH MAKE THIS A VERY EARLY PRESSING FROM THE AUSTRALIAN COPY OF THAT UK MASTER STAMPER. Due to the low volume of SAX pressings and sales in Australia, that may have been only a few thousand before switching to the raised lip edge pressing we are all used to.  .  

COVER CONDITION    OF OZ PRESSED, SAXO 2315, UNIQUE TO AUSTRALIA COVER, NM only fault is the previous owners name in pen on top flipback seam  NO  ringwear and cover is nice and flat, no warping, no opening edge feathering, very clean. Only the very early oz covers also had the round stereophonic sticker, similar not the same as the UK sticker. This edition has one, no other OZ sax 2315 I have handled had the sticker.

LP CONDITION of OZ Pressed Turquoise silver SAXO 2315, is NM nothing to report other than a bit of static 'rustle' in the opening minute both sides, only odd occasional pips and tics that are non repetetive and 'installed' on most LP's, from New......

SOUND SAMPLE GUIDE First 5 minutes is of opening side 1, where there are a couple of non repetetive tics, then I transfer to the...

Side 2 (commences at 5 minutes 30seconds) 

where some light static appears in the opening few rotations, the remainder of the 10 minute sample is recorded from the opening 5 minutes or so of side 2, both areas of the sampling is done near edge of LP as that is where most edge damage occurs from cover scuffs or needle drops. I don't think you will find cleaner offerings easily..

BE aware the sound samples talked about above (Including previous feedback sale of SAX 2315)bith accentuates treble (Hence more static crackle that you DON'T hear through your Hi Fi) and is low quality, but you get the idea.

Yes I have fully test played  these both after professionally washing them, and remember the main item on offer here is an AUSTRALIAN PRESSING, the UK pressing and cover are regarded too damaged to be taken seriously as worth offering individually although it plays through the scratch areas with no needle skip at 1.5gm headshell and anti skate setting

I thought someone  might like a less expensively priced 60's analogue pressing, as I am sure it will finish cheaper than a UK Pressing in similar sounding condition, but I think it is a wise investment as I have sold several OZ pressed SAX records to discrning buyers lately, and they ALL seem to like the quality especially in comparison to the price of a Genuine UK, and of course the OZ pressings are RARER as in the 60's we only had a population of around 12 million and not very many retail outlets to buy LP's from.  

 If you already have an original MINT UK Columbia pressing, Buy THIS  lp and You can play it instead of  wearing out or risking damage to your original  investment !
