Umm Kulthum One Thousand and One Nights 1969 Sono Cairo DSD 93 RARE Arabic LP
Rare and scarce vintage 1969 Arabic Folk LP entitled " ألف ليلة وليلة (One Thousand and One Nights)" performed by Egyptian singer, songwriter and actress Umm Kulthum. Record is a middle eastern import from the United Arab Emirates pressed and distributed on the Sono Cairo label.
Sleeve is graded as VG+ with mild shelf wear along the sides and edges with a small amount of pronounced wear in the upper right corner of the front cover. Mild marking on the back cover. Sleeve is overall clean and intact.
Record has been cleaned and visually graded conservatively as VG+/NM with minor surface wear on both sides. Vinyl is Black and reflective and looks to be in very good / near excellent playing condition with minor surface flaws.

OUR GRADING SCALE IS AS FOLLOWS:
NOTE - Records with gradings "P" through "G" are only listed for sale if the Record is of considerable rarity and value.

P (Poor) - Record will have noticeable to heavy surface and/or label wear (deep groove scratches, torn labels, multiple hairlines etc). Record is still playable, but heavy background noise ie. Static/Pops/Clicks are certain.

F (Fair) - Record will have slightly less surface and/or label wear than a P grade. Vinyl is slightly reflective and the record will be visually in acceptable playing condition. Background noise ie. Static/Pops/Clicks are certain.

G (Good) - Record will have moderate surface wear and/or minor label wear (medium hairlines, minor marking on labels, light scratches etc.) scattered background noise may be present.
VG/VG+ (Very Good - Very Good Plus) - Record will have minimal surface wear and/or minor label wear (Small hairlines, minor label wear, faint scratches etc.) The record has definitely been played but has been well stored and cared for. A medium amount of background noise may or may not be present.
VG+/NM (Very Good Plus / Near Mint) - Record will have little surface wear, but not enough to have a true NM grading. Vinyl will be reflective and visually in overall very good playing condition with minor surface wear to vinyl and/or labels (handful of minor scuffs / hairlines, small amount of general surface wear etc.) A small amount of background noise may or may not be present. A majority of records in our stock carry this grade.

NM (Near Mint) - Record shows almost no surface wear with clean labels and reflective vinyl ( Surface wear may be present with no more than one - three small hairlines on LP total ). Record has been very well stored and cared for and is in almost like new condition with very little to no wear.
MWW (Mint With Wear) - This grading is reserved for factory sealed records that show some mild levels of exterior wear to the sleeve such as bumping, mild shelf wear, shrink separation, spotting etc. The record(s) inside is still brand new and unplayed with some exterior wear to the sleeve.

M (Mint) - Our highest grading. This rating is reserved for sealed, unplayed records in brand-new condition.
All of our records are cleaned and visually inspected under bright fluorescent light to ensure accurate grading. All unsealed records quality ship outside of their sleeves to prevent seam splitting during transit.
