ATTENTION 1960s STEREO CLASSICAL COLLECTORS AND CONDITION UPGRADERS! IGNORE EVERY OTHER COPY ON EBAY(IF YOU CAN FIND ONE)AND LOOK AT THIS STUNNING ORIGINAL STEREO DOUBLE LP FROM THE EARLY 1960s(NO DATE STATED BUT APPROX 1960) WHEN HARDLY ANY COPIES WERE MADE AND SOLD OF THIS DOUBLE LP IN THE STEREO FORMAT! 

THE LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA CONDUCTED LEOPOLD LUDWIG. MAHLER:SYMPHONY NO.9.  HERE IS WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THE VERY BEST COPY I HAVE EVER SEEN AND HEARD IN OVER 30 YEARS AS A DEALER OF A DOUBLE ALBUM WHICH USUALLY TURNS UP IN DREADFUL CONDITION. MOST COPIES WOULD BE PLAYED ON VERY OLD EQUIPMENT CAUSING DAMAGE-THIS SET IS EXCEPTIONAL!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1960s STEREO ISSUE OF TRACKS RECORDED IN GREAT WIDE STEREO SOUND ON QUIET AND MEGA-THICK VINYL! SCM 16/17 WITH -1/-1/-2/-1 MATRIXES. HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNER SLEEVES WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE "PATENT PENDING"TEXT AND A BEAUTIFULLY PRESERVED GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH THE USUALLY MISSING STEREO STICKER! PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS.

FROM THE COLLECTION OF A FORMER CLASSICAL MUSIC COLLECTOR THAT CLEARLY HAS HAD VERY FEW PLAYS INDEED! JUST BEGIN TO IMAGINE WHAT A DOUBLE LP FROM AROUND 57 YEARS AGO SOUNDS LIKE WITH PRACTICALLY NO CRACKLE,NO DISTORTION,NO CLICKS,NO STICKS,NO SWISHES-EVEN IN BETWEEN THE TRACKS! THIS IS A TRULY AMAZING COPY! GLEAMING SURFACES THAT RARELY EXIST ON ANY LP OF THIS AGE LET ALONE A 1960s CLASSICAL ONE THAT WOULD HAVE MAJOR SURFACE MARKS ADDED WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF USE BY THE MAJORITY OF BUYERS IN THE EARLY 1960s! 

DOES THE GRADING MINT EXIST? ONLY IF IT IS 100% UNPLAYED AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED WHICH IS WHY REGULAR BUYERS WILL KNOW MY NEAR MINT GRADINGS EQUAL MOST PEOPLE'S MINT! THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT,WISPY SURFACE MARKS.

LOCATING AN OUTSTANDING VERY NEAR MINT STEREO SET IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING DISTORTION AND MAJOR WEAR.SOMETIMES EVEN PLAYED ON MONO EQUIPMENT IN ERROR. THIS PAIR IS THE BEST I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD AND AS SUCH THE DISC IS STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION.

THICK VINYL.HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR. THE GATEFOLD COVER HAS A COUPLE OF TINY EDGE CREASES AND A LITTLE STAINING BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.

  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND ALL FOUR LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE RARE CLASSICAL AND OTHER LPs FROM ME ON EBAY.

POSTAGE UK 1ST CLASS SIGNED FOR £4-50 EUROPE(AIR MAIL) £7 REST OF THE WORLD(AIR MAIL) £10.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
