SXL 2157 W/B Ed1 Beethoven Septet Op. 20
Beethoven
Septet in E Flat Major op. 20
Members of the Vienna Octet
1959
on Decca Wideband label Edition 1 ('original recording' text) SXL 2157
Simple grading can be misleading, so please read the full description of condition which I hope will be helpful.
Condition: The record is housed in a front laminated single sleeve. It has some light ringwear and wear to the edges, but is generally sound. This is an early sleeve with die-cut arc flipbacks to the rear. Unfortunately, the flipbacks must have at some time come unstuck and been reattached using strips of sellotape - the tape is no longer in place and the edges are re-glued, but there are two stripes of brown tape residue where the offending stuff must have been. The record comes complete with original FFSS poly lined inner.
The vinyl looks good with just a few light scrapes. It has clean matt labels with quite a few spindle marks in evidence, but it still plays very well, with just some light background crackle in places. (As with many records of this age, it might benefit from cleaning on professional grade equipment.)
Overall, this is a fine playing copy. I am not a dealer, but would guess that this might be graded as VG-/ VG+ (sleeve/vinyl per RC guidelines)
Please note: I try to test-play a significant part of each record before listing, but do not have time to play fully in all cases. As a record collector myself, I have had disappointing purchases, so if you do encounter a problem, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do all I can to rectify the situation.
Postage: I do not set out to profit from P&P charges - price quoted below is my best estimate of exact Royal Mail charge plus 40p to cover the cost of a brand new custom cardboard mailer and stiffener in order to give your purchase extra protection in transit. Packages are only covered for approx £40 compensation, so you may wish to purchase additional insurance (which can be expensive for overseas mail). I am happy to combine shipping to minimize expense for multiple purchases (though a 2kg total limit per package will be observed for overseas shipping). ?
