EMI DIGITAL SLS 5239 BEETHOVEN NINE SYMPHONIES SANDERLING PHILHARMONIA NEAR MINT

BOX EXCELLENT,  EIGHT RECORDS MINT

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY...Visual Gradings:

MINT: The RECORD is in “as new” condition with no surface marks, scratches or visual damage/markings of any kind. 
The SLEEVE is “as-new” and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

NEAR MINT:  The RECORD appears new and unmarked but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks. 
The SLEEVE is not marked in any way but might show the slightest signs of “shelf wear” or ageing.

EXCELLENT: The RECORD shows signs of having been played, there may be light finger trails but is not scratched or damaged.
The SLEEVE may have slight wear and/or minor creasing. It may have markings from a previous owner such as initials or owner catalogue numbers, or slight laminate lift but nothing serious. 

VERY GOOD: The RECORD has obviously been played many times, and has noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. 
The SLEEVE shows normal wear and tear and is either marked with pen and has laminate lift or tears.

NOTES

Audio reproduction on vinyl: In my experience there is always an element of surface or background sound with audio reproduction on vinyl, even when new - very hard to imagine how there could not be when two solid surfaces come into contact with each other and are then amplified! In my opinion anybody who claims there is no surface sound, or ‘silence’, is probably mistaken. Almost all used vinyl has at least light surface scratches which are always visible when viewed under a bright halogen light. So if you are uncomfortable with a bit of light crackling it’s probably best not to buy second hand vinyl. In my opinion the light surface sound is more than compensated for by the clarity and ‘reality’ of the overall sound reproduction. For your confidence I inspect every album I list before placing on ebay.

My Views: All of my comments contained in this listing is subjective. It is based only on my opinion; and your expectations may not necessarily correspond with my standards. If you receive an album from me and you have some differences please remember to use reasonable communication as a first option. I have a comprehensive non-confrontational ‘Returns Policy’ which is clearly set out below and - providing there is no abuse or use of the negative feedback system - I will always reimburse you in full for your direct costs if you return the album correctly.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

DESCRIPTIONS: Are given in good faith, but they are based on my opinion and standards.  Bidders should note that they bid at their own risk and must satisfy themselves that they have sufficient information about the item before they enter the bidding process.  Please feel free to ask any questions before you become involved with the auction/sale. Where I list record information they are as stated on the sleeve/label by the manufacturer.

INFORMATION: Whilst I take care to try and provide accurate information on the original listing it is possible that new information may become available to me afterwards. I therefore strongly recommend that all bidders read any revisions and the ongoing questions / answers section of the listing before bidding as they may contain updated information which could affect your valuation of the item(s). In the event that new information is published, after the time you have become the high bidder, which adversely affects your valuation of the item(s) and you wish to withdraw from the bidding process please email your request and I will use the cancel bid option with no ongoing liability to any of the parties involved in the auction.

PHOTOGRAPHS: All photographs contained within this listing show the actual item (s) offered – they are not catalogue, archive or library photographs.  Furthermore they are direct images and not re-touched or modified in any way. I try my best with my small camera on the listing in order to give the prospective bidder the best opportunity to evaluate the item(s); however it is possible that in some circumstances the photographs can enhance the appearance of the item(s) due to compression so please take this into account before bidding and do not hesitate to ask for more images or information which I am happy to send by attachment to email. This is particularly recommended with overseas buyers where returns are often not a viable option.  

OVERSEAS BUYERS WELCOME: I am pleased to deal with buyers from anywhere in the world. My method of LP packaging reduces the risk to your valuable records & covers in transit. Makes no sense to me to buy something important and then risk damage when having it shipped around the world – I hope you feel the same. I always use Airmail "Small Packets" overseas so please don’t ask for surface mail as this is a slow, risky waste of time; saving little cost. If there are any local delivery issues that you can warn me about – then please do so. (An example here would be if there is a specific need to include my address on a posting at the front or the rear of a package.)

PACKING & POSTAGE:  Vinyl’s MAY BE removed from covers and placed in separate transit sleeves. All components are then placed side by side in a polythene inner for extra safety and water resistance and then secured with a corrugated card stiffeners or similar. I use new or re-cycled Heavy Duty Mailers Specifically Designed for Vinyl Albums, which provide excellent security and protection, in conjunction with appropriate reinforced sealing and packaging method. I charge £1.50 per PACK for packaging which is included in my postal charge and all purchases will be dispatched separately or in lots at the end of the auction. I will combine postage in appropriate circumstances - please wait for your invoice to confirm this.

I do not accept local pick-up requests.

PAYMENT: For Buyers WITHIN the UK or OUTSIDE the UK: PayPal only.

CANCELLATION: The Seller reserves the right to cancel any bid, entirely at his discretion and without giving prior notice, in the following circumstances:

I have reason to believe that the bidder has not complied with the terms of their offer as set out on the listing. 

The bidder’s feedback is of such limited quantity that it cannot be regarded as reliable.

The bidder’s feedback is of dubious quality and/or gives the seller any  

PROBLEM? - If you have ANY problem with an item or service, please contact me before opening a case with Ebay. I will try my best to reach an amicable solution. If I have made a mistake in my listing I will take full responsibility and rectify it immediately.
