Two LP Records - Columbia English Stereo - SAX 2347-48
Blue and Silver Labels : First Stereo Pressings of this Release
Includes 16 page insert booklet
*****
Highly praised and sought after recordings and performances, especially in this first stereo pressing.
Both records appear to be in near mint condition, showing very little signs of being played with a good bright sheen. Record one has a small mark at the beginning of side two which gives rise to about 18 ticks; otherwise both discs play faultlessly in wonderful stereo sound with no jumps, skips or repeated ticks.
The picture gives a good impression of the box which is in near mint condition, remarkable for its age with just some very slight wear marks at the picture edge.
The enclosed booklet is in excellent condition with a little age spotting to the front cover.
The first disc is visually graded EX/NM 79/80 (only because of the mark referred to above); The second disc is visually graded NM 85, while the box is visually graded NM 86 (see below).
Satisfaction guaranteed - a full refund of the purchase price (excluding postage & packing costs) will be given for any item which does not comply with my description and grading and is returned to me within 14 days of receipt.

Record Condition Grading System
I apply a visual grading system as follows:
90% Mint, (90% is the highest figure I give as no records are perfect)
80-89% Near Mint, NM almost flawless, at 85% only the lightest scuff marks to the record, slight wear to the cover; above 85% and up to 89%, there should be no marks on the playing surface of the record. Below 85%, down to 80%, there will be progressively more marking, but this will only be very light and superficial.
70-79% Excellent, EX, a few more light surface marks than will be seen at 80-85%, light ring wear or creasing to cover, slight tears/laminate lift to the cover. Remains of price labels or sellotape may be evident to the cover.
60-69% Very Good, VG, more obvious marks to the record, more obvious creasing, ring wear or laminate lift, worse tears to the cover. There may be ticks from the record but see below*.
The information is provided for the record first, and then for the cover or box, for example you will find NM/NM in the notes on each record followed by, for example, 85/85. This means 85% both for the record and for the cover.
Records are viewed under both daylight and under a halogen light where practical to clearly shows any marks.
*This is a visual grading system. If I am aware of any audio problems affecting a record, such as ticks, I will provide this information in detail.
