Overall: Great LP-set in absolute NM/MINT condition. AS NEW!

This is one, of many records, from a sound engineers private archive. The huge collection was revealed after his death a few years ago. He worked for famous record companies from the 30's until late 60's and was a dedicated music lover. The collection consists of mainly classical and opera recordings, but also of some jazz and pop/rock records. Everything is in EXCELLENT, NEAR MINT or MINT condition. After buying his records, he taped them onto a Revox reel player and then archived the vinyl. It is like visiting a record shop with new 40 - 60 years old records!

RECORD GRADING

 

MINT

 

The record itself is in brand new condition. I only grade SEALED records as MINT.

The cover and any extra items are also unused in AS NEW condition.

 

 

NEAR MINT

 

 

A nearly perfect record, with only the slightest cosmetic flaw - no audible defect.

Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

 

 

EXCELLENT

 

 

The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.

The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

 

VERY GOOD

 

The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality

despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.

Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached.

recordings from the golden era of classical recordings, the 50's & 60's.
