Special note to foreign bidders: PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING!! IN PURCHASING THIS ITEM, YOU ARE AGREEING THERE ARE NO REFUNDS FOR ANY REASON ON FOREIGN SHIPMENTS. In order for me to ship out of the U.S., it is much more effort and expense.

Because of this, I do not ship to foreign buyers if the value of the item is less than $20. For items $20-$50, I can ship First class International to buyers with perfect feedback. This method is NOT insurable or trackable, but costs less. Weight must be less than 4 pounds. For items $50-$100, I would ship via priority mail international with insurance for the value bid. Some countries do not allow insurance. Please e-mail for shipping costs before bidding as this method costs more, but is insurable (usually) and trackable. For items > $100, it will have to go some method that can be signed for. Global Express, probably, it is expensive!

Examples of shipping as of 2/22/18(to the U.K.):

9 ounces - $23.50 (first class international) + cost of box 9 ounces - $35.25 (Priority Mail International) + cost of box 9 ounces - > $50 (Global Express) + cost of box Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. I declare foreign shipments as merchandise with the value you bid for them.

END NOTE TO FOREIGN BUYERS.

Although I go to great lengths to accurately describe my items, if you feel the merchandise is not as described, e-mail me BEFORE leaving feedback and we will resolve it.  Please note I do allow returns (see return policy below).

Description: Up for your consideration is the next in a series of unique Lps, this one featuring Walter Klien and Arthur Grumiaux (piano and violin).

A few unique things about this item:
Firstly, these five records retain the original shine with no visible imperfections (other than two very light marks on side 4 - I played thru those and noted only two very light pops on each track--probably not related to the mark--the sound was clear and the playing spectacular!)   grading by sight in normal room light.  I'm sure if you took these and put them under a 1000 watt bulb, you'd probably find something that makes them less than mint.  If you're that kind of collector, let me suggest this auction is not for you.

7:10:2020: I looked at these in outside light, noting only a very, very light mark on side 4 and a very, very light mark on side 5. Should be fine.

I don't claim these records are mint.  Based on past experience and visual examination, I'd expect the tracks to average around half way between VG+(excellent) and Near Mint perhaps with some scattered very light surface noise and a few infrequent very light pops such that might be heard on just about any record of this age.  If you want an audio grade of an entire record, no problem, just drop me a note well in advance of the end of auction.  You can then assign your own grade based on my comments on what I heard and the GRADING SCALE BELOW!.     

Secondly, at the time of this listing, no recent past/present sales on e-bay.  Past sales out on the Internet have approached $900!

Keep in mind how it plays for me may differ than how it plays for you based on differences in audio equipment. 

So this is your chance to own a unique item at a reasonable price.  Bid early and often so you don't miss out on this auction!   

It is further described below, please take the time to read before bidding.

I am using the Goldmine scale of G=Good(1), VG = Very Good(2), VG+ = Very Good Plus(excellent)(3), NM = Near Mint(4) when grading the disc(s). 

Here is a summary of the record(s):

Comments:Comes with a booklet which has a piece of styrofoam attached to the back of it (which you can peel off, if desired).  Based on past experience and visual examination, I'd expect the tracks to average around half way between VG+(excellent) and Near Mint with some scattered very light surface noise, maybe a few very infrequent very light pops such that might be heard on just about any record.  If you want an audio grade of an entire record, no problem, just drop me a note well in advance of the end of auction.  You can then assign your own grade based on my comments on what I heard and the GRADING SCALE SHOWN!.   A good addition to your LP collection.
