ARTIST - Maurice Gendron with Peter Gallion

TITLE - Recital

LABEL - Epic

CATALOG NO. - LN 3753

RECORD GRADING - EX

COVER GRADING -  VG+

See grading system below. 

The cover is intact. No splits. Does have some age appropriate wear in spots. 

The record looks EX and plays that way. There are very few small marks on the vinyl surface. I heard two light ticks in one spot. There is a small amount of light crackles as well.

Original pressing in mono. 1A/1A stampers in the dead wax. This version seems to be harder to find than the stereo version. I found one auction result, but otherwise, internet searches came up with nothing. 

I think mono lends to a more intimate sound with just cello and piano. 

When I grade a record, I attempt to listen to each one.  Sometimes, I will not listen to an entire LP, but will hear key tracks or areas that may show wear to render an objective opinion. Each listing is completely written by myself.  I will also use outside sources that I have researched as well, to give a more complete picture of the record I am selling. 

thanks for looking. 

Shipping:
Combined Shipping: I can combine shipping.  Many times it means I can ship more records U.S. for a lower cost than if paid for individually. 

***** Please let me know you will be bidding on other items so I can give you a correct lower postage price on the final invoice. Please WAIT to pay the final invoice.
International Shipping: I ship using eBay's International Standard Delivery. This sends the item to a shipping center in the U.S. and they send it off from there.

If you would like to change the shipping preference please let me know.

VJ'S VINYL GRADING SYSTEM: 

(based on Goldmine)
If graded Mint - never used, once a record is opened, the top you can get is mint minus.
If graded Mint Minus or Near Mint (NM) - A great record, one or two fine hairline scuffs, sounds flawless. A mint minus record can "play" mint. Covers are new looking, may have shrink wrap.
If graded Excellent (EX) - Can have faint hairline scuffs that do not affect play. Can have very minor infrequent crackling. Minor bumps in the cover.
If graded Very Good plus (VG+) - Scuffs can be more prevalent, with a little more surface noise. If it visually has more scuffs but plays great, I will note that. Still, a very fine and playable copy. Covers have minor age and shelf wear.
If graded Very Good (VG) - Can have lots of hairline scuffs, and maybe one or two scratches. Surface noise is more prevalent with some popping in spots. Covers have more extensive age and shelf wear. Minor splits.
If graded Very Good minus (VG minus) - More in the way of scratches and surface noise is NOT infrequent. Still, a viable copy. Covers may have splits.
If graded Good plus (G+) - only reserved for a very rare or popular record. Very noisy, maybe some skips, scratches are evident. Covers are trashed.
If graded STILL SEALED - I will grade the vinyl as "still sealed." That means it's probably mint minus because I do not know if there were any factory defects.
If reported to have Hairline scuffs - light yet visible. Cannot be felt with the skin of your finger.
If stated to have Scratches - Can be felt.
If reported, Age wear - on a cover is either fading or yellowing.
If reported, Shelf wear - is ring wear, corner bumps, or fraying.
