I'm listing a collection of early stereo audiophile classical records on RCA Victor Living Stereo, Mercury Living Presence, London FFSS blueback. All great condition; all original pressings as far as I can tell. The only bad thing I can say about them, in general, is that they have a moderate 'basement' odor. Lots to list so, for now, I'm only giving minimal artist/title info and only front cover pics. You can find them all in my eBay Store by searching the "Audiophile" section (or searching with the word "Audiophile").
Conservatively graded/ visually. For these I'm going to be more strict than usual. So I can process them faster and not agonize over extremely minor flaws, I'm mostly going to use the grade of Near Mint Minus (NM-) for my top grade. This allows for the most minor of flaws, or the possibility I might miss something. If I use Near Mint (NM) it will only be for records that appear absolutely perfect; and only if I have time to examine them at length. Most of these have a small yellow sticker on front; they're recently-applied and come off fairly easily (with no stain underneath) but I don't have the time to remove them.

>>>>>>>>> Original USA issue of #LSC-2545. First press shaded dog/SD labels. Matrix numbers end in -1S/-1S. Record is NM-. Labels are NM-. Cover is VG++; no splits, just light ringwear, though not as noticeable as may appear here - the appearance of wear seems to be inherent in the actual design (cover art/ graphics).
