CSD 1499 NM Jacqueline Du Pre, Music for Viola & Cello UK Odeon 5/2 stampers

EMI Records stereo CSD 1499, disc with black Odeon export label, pressed in England.  Early stampers, side 1: 2YEA 739-5, side 2: 2YEA 740-2, which are the same as you will find on the green/gold label copies.  The export label is the only difference.  Early laminated flipback sleeve. 

Music for Viola and Cello, with instrumental accompaniment.  Herbert Downes, viola and Jacqueline du Pre, cello.  Accompanists include Gerald Moore, piano, Osian Ellis, harp, and John Williams, guitar.  Highlight is a performance of the Bruch Kol Nidrei, with Du Pre and Gerald Moore.  See pics for complete program details.

Disc is NM, no visible marks.  Play graded all the way through.  Plays beautifully, with great sound, and only a few widely scattered very light bits of surface noise, which will probably clean up.  No repeating tics.  I have given this only a very light cleaning, as I am sure that whoever purchases this great record would rather clean it thoroughly themselves.  Jacket NM-, very nice, Odeon sticker on back.

You will look long and hard to find a copy of this great rarity in this condition.  Low start, no reserve.  Enjoy.

=SHIPPING INFORMATION=

The USPS has raised its postal rates, so I have had to adjust my rates accordingly.  The rates quoted are still below my actual shipping cost.

All shipping is by USPS. I use online shipping to give you the best possible price on shipping. It also enables me to supply you with a tracking number for all shipments.

Shipping for the first disc in the US by Media Mail $3.00. Additional discs are free of charge. Priority Mail is available.

International customers, please wait for my invoice before you pay. USPS First Class Mail rates are only for packages under 4 pounds (usually from 4 to 6 single discs).  Any package over 4 pounds must be sent by Priority Mail.

If you pay before receiving my invoice, you may lose any shipping discounts that you might be entitled to. The new USPS postal rates vary more from country to country, so it is not possible to estimate costs exactly. You will pay only the postage, no extra charge for materials or handling.

SPECIAL OFFER FOR US CUSTOMERS ONLY: ANY PURCHASE TOTALING $50 OR MORE WILL BE SHIPPED FREE BY MEDIA MAIL.

SHIPPING DISCOUNTS FOR INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS:

Purchase $100 or more: 25% discount on shipping cost

Purchase $250 or more: 50% discount on shipping cost

Purchase $500 or more: Free worldwide shipping (up to $50)

==INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS PLEASE READ==

Some very important items:

1. The sale price will be the declared value on your customs form. I will not classify your package as a gift or otherwise falsify customs documents on your shipments. This is a federal crime in the US and is illegal in every country. Any import fees, taxes or duties are the resposibility of the buyer.

2. Any purchase totaling $50 or more (not including shipping) must be insured. This cost will be included on your invoice. If you do not choose insurance on an orders of less than $50, I take no responsibility if your shipment is lost or damaged.

3. Please understand that shipping times for international packages (especially First Class Mail packages) are unpredictable and can vary from a few days to weeks or more. I have no control over this. Priority Mail is much more dependable and is highly recommended for more valuable items.
