Decca SXL 2092-93 (2LP Set with presentation book cover)

Tchaikovsky

The Nutcracker Casse-Noisette

See Photos for more details.

Classification:

The records are classified as near mint (NM) condition as they has been played but the records and playback are all immaculate.

The cover/booklet are classified as Very Good (VG+) but have some wear to the edges and plastic coating.

General Definition:

Near Mint (NM): The highest grade for a used record. Almost no signs of being played, perhaps a spindle mark or barely noticeable light mark where record has been removed from the inner sleeve. Cover or box may have minor ring wear but no bends, creases or writing whatsoever;

Very Good (VG): 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. Cover or box may have a pronounced ring wear, seam splits, writing, discoloration and general wear or tear (Details are indicated in the descripion);

For buying a second record it will be an extra £8 for Asia/Australasia postage. An extra £2.35 for buying a second record for European postage. No extra postage cost for buying a second record within the U.K.

If you require insurance please contact me after the auction so that I can arrange and confirm cost

Packaging:

Unless advised otherwise the record will be packed as follows:

Record removed from cover (but remains in white sleeve); and layed on top of cover. I will put a cardboard mailer on the top and secure with tape so it can’t move then wrap in light bubble wrap and put in a specific reinforced cardboard record postage case which is taped together. The package is marked fragile on both sides and is useful to also have the buyers mobile number to add to the parcel force tracking when I take it to the post office. It is optional for you to message your mobile number to me once you’ve won the auction.

Happy bidding...
