Decca SXL 2153 Stereo. Made in England
Matrix Numbers: ZAL-4423-2E, ZAL-4424-1E
Condition: -Not an expert at grading records, will describe best I can. this is a Decca Wide-Band edition of the record, not sure what edition, see the matrix numbers above. Vinyl is nice and shiny. Under normal lighting you can't really see any marks. Under bright halogen lighting you can see on each side some light scuff marks and residue from cleaning solution. The worst mark is the one you san see in the sixth photo below, it is a squiggle mark on the third band on side two, this is a light surface mark, I played through this section, the mark did not effect the sound, no ticking or pops. None of the marks effect play, there is no skipping, pops or ticking that I can hear. There is some background noise on each side. I think this can be cleared up with proper cleaning, I don't have a high end or vacuum cleaner. The noise is dust, static-y sounding. The sound quality of the music sounds wonderful to me.There are spindle marks on the labels. See the close-up photos below.
The cover has wear, ringwear on front and back, light smudging on back, worn corners. and edges on the opening side. Not abused. Record was well-cared for, just picked up some cover wear over the years. I think the photos below show condition well.

PLEASE READ THESE PARAGRAPHS ABOUT SHIPPING AND POSTAGE COST:
As you may have noticed lately, the shipping costs you see in auctions has really gone up! This is because in the last year the Post Office has not only raised its prices, it has also changed the way it determines how much it will cost to ship a package. The old way was based on the weight of the package, not the size of the box (unless it was very large). But now both the weight AND size of the package determines the cost of shipping.
As an example: Take the Priority Mail cost of sending from California (where I am) to New York two packages that each weigh exactly 2 pounds. The first box measures (in inches): 12x12x12, the second box measures 13x12x12. It will cost $7.50 to send the 12x12x12 inch box, but it will cost $25.05!!! to send the 13x12x12 inch box, even though they both weigh the same! Yikes! And if the box were bigger it could cost even more!
The reason I write this is to reassure you that I will always do my best to find the least expensive way of getting you your item. I will list the best shipping options available and I will use the smallest box that I can SAFELY package an item in, if it will save you money. (I pride myself on my packing, and I won't cut corners when it comes to careful packing. Check my feedback). This goes for foreign buyers as well as those in the USA.
And you pay ONLY the actual postage cost. I never charge for packing materials or charge a handling fee. And if I do happen to make a mistake in how much it costs to ship an item and you overpay on postage, I will ALWAYS refund the overcharge.
