Item Description
Philips - 6780017 (2 Record Set) - Mozart: Sonatas for Piano and Violin - Arthur Grumiaux, Clara Haskil. Gatefold jacket. Lovely condition.
It gives us great pleasure to be able to present rare and
elusive discs like this one for your record collection. Rare and
elusive discs like this one don't come around often and when they do
they get snatched up quickly. Not to be missed! Highest recommendation
from Analog Paradise. Please do not miss out on this great record. Thanks for looking and best of luck to you in this auction. Please check out our other items: A note about Lps: We love, enjoy and have collected Lps for over 50 years now. We have sold records internationally for over 35 years. Records can provide fantastic, state-of-the-art sound quality however, not unlike other formats in audio they are imperfect. Very few records play perfectly without at least some surface noise. Long-term collectors already know this. If you are looking for perfection please look elsewhere. We try our very best to accurately grade these record albums before listing them. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Condition: This item has EXCELLENT quality.
Not sure what this means?
Jackets: We do NOT assign letter-grades to the jacket of a record; IF
you see more than one Letter Grade with a slash (/) between them, that is for
when the individual SIDES of the record itself grade differently; we do grade
each side of every record; when the grade for both sides is the same, the
record will show only ONE Letter-Grade Here is our grading scale: Our Grading Scale:
All LPs are graded visually, under careful inspection by
collector/dealers, with many years' experience at LP evaluation.
Some of the most sought-after (and/or more questionable) will be
play-graded on a fine 2-channel system; if the LP has been
play-graded, that will be stated in the listing - - but, in any
case, all LPs are scrutinized carefully, and described to the best of
our abilities. We do realize, of course, that a visual estimation
can be mistaken - - we plead humanity, and offer apologies, in that
hopefully-rare instance where this occurs. E (or Ex, or Exc) = Excellent, our highest grade for a used LP;
such an LP has been well cared-for by a collector, and contains no
scratches expected to sound. An LP which is play-graded by us, and
listed in this condition, should contain no more than about
half-a-dozen or so ticks per side, actually better than many
brand-new discs play out. Our E is the equivalent of some other
dealers' NM, or NM-minus, or yet other dealers' A.
E- (or Exc-minus), signifies that the LP is till very well
cared-for, but may contain one or two light scratches, which are not
expected to produce much surface-noise. This grade is roughly
equivalent to some dealers' NM-minus-minus, or others' EX, and yet
other dealers' A-minus. V+ (or VG+, or Very Good-Plus): an LP which is assigned this grade
still is in very positive condition, with a few more light marks
than would warrant an E-minus. A disc in this condition is expected
to have a bit of extraneous surface-noise, but it should not be
expected to interfere much with the enjoyment of the music for most
collectors. Our V+ is roughly equivalent to some dealers'
Exc-minus, or VG+, and yet other dealers' B+. V (or VG, or Very Good): It is at this point which we expect the
surface-noise in at least a part of the disc to interfere with
enjoyment of the music for a majority of collectors. May contain
one or a few feel-able scratches. It is possible, however
(best-case scenario), that such an LP might tick loudly for,
perhaps, half a minute, and yet, the rest of the side might play
flawlessly. We would generally encourage only those collectors who
consider themselves pretty tolerant to pursue an LP in this
condition. V is roughly equivalent to some other dealers' VG or
VG-minus, and to others' B, or B-minus. You will generally not see
us list records below this condition, unless scarcity & demand
compel us. In decreasing desirability, the remainder of our grading scale is:
V- (or Very Good-minus), G+ (or Good-Plus), G (or Good) (which,
really, isn't so great), G- (or good-minus), F (or Fair), and P
(or Poor). You will not normally see records in these condition
descriptions in our listings, as they all describe what we consider
to be only a stop-gap copy at best - - just so the collector can say
he DOES have the LP INDIVIDUAL SIDES - - Each side of every LP is graded individually;
if only one grade is listed, this means both sides of that LP grade the
same. In a case where the sides differ in condition, 2 grades will be
listed, with a slash-mark (/) between them
(for example, E/-, meaning, of course, one side grades straight
Excellent, and the other, Excellent-minus) (or E-/V+, would mean,
of course, Excellent-minus over Very Good Plus (still a pretty
desirable LP) , and so on....
LP SETS - - In the case of a multiple-record set, again, each side
of each LP is assigned its own grade, and listed as such - - so,
for example, 6E would signify a 3-disc set, in which ALL six sides
are graded Excellent or, say, 7E/2-/V+ would then signify a
five-disc set, in which seven of the sides graded Excellent, two
graded at Excellent-minus, and the other one, at Very-Good-Plus....
We do not automatically down-grade an LP for paper-rubs or light
scuffs - - only for scratches. In our experience, often-times a
scuff or paper-rub, or discoloration in the vinyl might not sound at
all. A further distinction is made between feel-able scratches, and
those scratches which are visible, but cannot be felt by careful,
gentle probing. Any LP graded above VG should contain ONLY
non-feel-able scratches (if any at all); if there is a feel-able
scratch on an LP side, that side should be graded VG or lower.
COVERS - - We do not grade record covers, preferring,
instead, to simply list any particular defects, OR merits of a
particular cover: defects would include sticker-pulls, seam-splits,
cut-out holes, browning or discoloration of the cover, etc....If, on
the other hand, a cover is like-new in appearance, that, too might
be mentioned, as that is also out of the ordinary.
