Decca UK Import LXT.5517 - Mono

 

 

The vinyl looks shiny and new and is in excellent visual condition, track 2 on side 2 (Overture: Le Corsaire) has a pressing flaw.  I cannot assess if this affects playback.  This record looks virtually un-played, however I have not actually played this LP. 

 

Vinyl – Near Mint -

Cover – Near Mint

Liner – Near Mint

 

The inner band markings are:

 

Side 1:  ARL 4324 – 1A

Side 2:  ARL 4325 – 2A

 

Many of the records in this auction have been culled as duplicates from my personal collection of over 4000 LPs. Others are more recent acquisitions for eBay, that I treat with the same respect as my own.

 

My Process for handling records

 

This record has been cleaned using The Disc Doctor’s Miracle Record Cleaner, which is used by the Library of Congress and recommended by Mobile Fidelity, TAS, Stereophile, and Better Records.

1. Visual Inspection – discard any major flawed records

2. Remove static with ZeroStat

3. Brief treatment with Discwasher to remove surface dust

4. Complete wash and rinse Disc Doctor and RO water

5. Remove rinse with Nitty Gritty vacuum

6. Air dry in dust-free space

7. Place in new antistatic sleeve.

8. Stack LP, cover, and original liner in poly outer sleeve

 

I take every care with records I sell as I do with those I keep for my own use and enjoyment.
