!!! NINE GREAT CELLO/AUDIOPHILE LP’s FOR SALE STARTING JUNE 14th !!!

TITLE: SHOSTAKOVICH CELLO SONATA & SCHUBERT "ARPEGGIONE" SONATA

LABEL: RCA LSC 2553 1S/5S

ARTIST: DANIEL SHAFRAN- CELLO, LYDIA PECHERSKAYA- PIANO 

RECORD INFO: A truly super rare cello record, with performances by one of the great players of the 20th Century, Daniel Shafran.  Wonderful original stereo sound. The disc is in NM condition, Side 1 and VG+ Side 2. There are two very light scuffs on the first cut of side 2 ("ARPEGGIONE"). This is a very conservative grading. Was play graded and found it to play at NM/VG++. Absolutely a beautiful copy. The sleeve is Good Plus, all corners intact. The top edge is cracked, but intact (see photos). Repaired, but no outer tape. Original inner sleeve included. LP cleaned using a VPI 16.5 cleaning machine.

My Grading Scale:

M Mint- usually reserved for sealed records.

Near Mint (NM)- Has an unplayed appearance with shinning grooves. No spindle marks.

Excellent (EX)- Quality item with only one or two insignificant defects, not affecting play.

VG++ (or NM-)- Extremely nice, would be NM except for a few light hairline scratches or scuffs which do not affect play.

VG+ - A nice but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It may play with a few pops or ticks but no serious problems.

VG- A well-used record that still sounds OK but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.

VG- A very worn record that plays through without skipping that will do until a better copy comes along!
