Record Details

I am clearing out my classical music record collection and will be listing several hundred records over the next few months. This is my own personal collection which come from a smoke free home.

Each record and its cover are graded in line with the record collector grading system as noted below. Each record has been play tested prior to listing. The photographs included are actual photographs of the record and cover. Please look closely at them and if you have any queries please email me  and I will try and respond as quickly as I can. 

This record is an English pressing on the Columbia SAX label FIRST press for this catalogue number with the red semi circle notes label. Lable has the KT tax codes. The cover is in excellent condition. it does have the word stereo written on the rear cover and on the front cover but otherwise in nice condition. The LP comes in its original 1966 EMI inner sleeve. 

Visually the vinyl is in Near Mint condition. Soundwise the record is in Near Mint condition. The cover is in Excellent condition. The labels are nice and clean. The record has been played on my Rega P6 with a Goldring 2400 cartridge to ensure an accurate grading is given. I have not guessed at the grading based on a visual inspection. There are no defects in the sound quality. The audio is strong and clear throughout both sides of the record.

The grading outline i am using is given below for reference. As someone who collects records I have attempted to be as honest as possible in deciding on the grading of the cover and the actual vinyl.

Record Grading Used

Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
