Decca SXL 2240 ED1 'Original Recording By' 1E/1E - Prokofiev / Bartok / Hindemith - Sonatas for Solo Violin - Ricci

Cover: EX(+); little ring wear, sticker imprint back cover. Original inner in perfect condition
Vinyl: EX(+); some very small faint spots (2 isolated over band 1 and a small cluster between band 1 and 2) on side 2, one producing 6 soft pops. An ultrafine 1cm paper scuff over beginning band 2 side 2 is harmless. Otherwise the record is playing with a very occasional soft tic. Full dynamics, no distortion at all. Just a dash of NM. Spindle marks indicating the record was played some dozen times

I've been trading for almost 19 years under the ID of jpditmarsch(1101). Throughout these years I've always had a 100% score (I never received a single negative feedback) and mostly 5.0 scores (but never below 4.9) on 'Item as described' / 'Communication' / 'Shipping Time' / 'Shipping charges'. Reason for closing this account is because I've decided to make selling on eBay a genuine business for the next 10 years 

I grade visually and (partly) play grade whenever in doubt. Stereo issues on a Linn LP12 with a Lyra Delos cartridge. Mono issues on a Thorens TD135 with a General Electric VRII cartridge; please be aware that this is a true mono Variable Reluctance cartridge, thus playing with a minimum of groove noise and hardly picking up any imperfections that these older mono records frequently have

As I don't have my own professional cleaning equipment, I consider (and recommend) this to the buyer. In my experience records easily gain a grade with professional cleaning

Due to an increasing amount of 'non-delivery' parcels in the past, I have no other option than to send with 'Registered - Track & Trace' services only.  No exceptions anymore unfortunately, unless you will explicitly wave my responsibility regarding non-delivery.  Records over $500 will only be send insured

Finally: in case you don't agree with my ratings or have any other issue with my listing, please contact me and we shall work it out. I will give full refunds (item price + shipping costs), however the shipping costs for sending the item back is for the buyer unless I have made a significant mistake.
