Dimitri Tiomkin - Charles Gerhardt, National Philharmonic Orchestra ‎– Lost Horizon (The Classic Film Scores For Dimitri Tiomkin) (1976)
"This album is recommended to anyone interested in sampling the film music in one convenient beautifully presented package"

Condition (refer also to notes at bottom): Vinyl: EX. Wonderfully clean on visual inspection. No signs of any marks, scuffs or hairlines on side A. Side B has some light hairline scuffs but these don't affect playback. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is superb throughout. Very mild surface noise at run-in to side B. A fantastic example overall.
Outer Sleeve/Cover: G-VG. Gloss card sleeve. Colours and artwork remain unfaded and clean on both sides. Bottom edge badly scuffed, top edge has mild wear. Spine badly damaged and split, while corners also dented and scuffed. Damage where price sticker once was in top right corner. Aperture has light nicks. A few creases in from spine. Back cover has no obvious defects. Overall, good plus.
Inner Sleeve: VG. Original. White poly-lined paper with centre hole. Clean and intact.
Insert: VG-EX. Original. White paper with black and white printed information. Light creasing but clean and intact.

ITEM CONDITION - items are graded according to Record Collector definitions - see below:

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. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in 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.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
