This is an Audiophile historical recording especially with Hi-End users in mind for reference audition.  This is the most sought-after and rare reference recording.  Needless to say the sound-stage and imagery are excellent with this record.  



May I stress that most countries have their own unique grading system. It appears to me that most Far East buyers are extremely critical and demanding in the condition of the records. As a result, I would strictly base my records on the UK RRPG grading system which is an universal accepted grading system for all records.  

We all want to have a prefect copy of the record which has no marks, no tics, no tear, no warp, no air bubble.......and so.  However, most used records are of certain age and they have been listened to and played with.  It is inevitable that you will see records with superficial marks, occasional tics and imperfect sleeve.  Even brand new records I have bought would have scratch, tics and creased sleeves.  This is the fun/pain with vinyl world and you need to accept these factors and facts.  If you want a clinically clean sound I suggest you should buy a CD instead.

It is therefore, unless I would provide more details if it is not shown on the system, you should be aware that all records I am selling will have characteristics as I explain above. If you do need more information please feel free to ask before committing biding as I have decided that there will be no return policy in the dispute of vinyl condition unless the item is damaged by post and insurance cost paid for.  This policy is strictly applied so please be aware.
