ABOUT ME

As you can see I'm very much new to ebay. I will be starting off with a nice classical collection. There will be some really rare titles coming up within the next month, so please bookmark and be sure to check my auctions again. Thanks!

I have been selling records for more than 20 years on a local basis. I am a collector myself and will do my best to give you the service that I'd want for myself: Accurate grading & descriptions + secure packing.

Contact me if you have any questions. Please check my other auctions here.

Bidders with less than ten feedback points will have their bids cancelled if they don't contact me first and get an Ok!

GRADING

My grades are:

M
M-
VG++
VG+
VG
VG-
G
F

My highest grade is reserved for sealed records or guaranteed unplayed stock only. So M- will play and look as new. My most frequent grade is the VG++. VG++ will guarantee you a really fine record. Also I try to note all flaws in my item description!!!!! What you read is what you get. No hidden faults. Therefore please also check the photos, it may sound worse than it looks.

Any visible marks will be checked to see if audible. If record looks as if unplayed I do not always playcheck them, I just don't have the time. If record is playchecked it's stated in the item description. More expensive records will most probably be playchecked though. Any questions about this? Ask me!

Mistakes with grading will no doubt occur at some point. I try to be as accurate as possible but I'm only human (unfortunately!). Be sure to contact me if anything's wrong. Of course I will accept returns if you disagree with my grading and will give money back when record is returned to me in the same shape as it was when it left me.

ITEM DESCRIPTION

Artist: Christian Ferras, violin & Pierre Barbizet, piano & the Paris Conservatoire orchestra, conducted by Georges Prêtre

Title: Alban Berg "Concerto for Violin and orchestra" & "Chamber concerto for Violin, Piano and 13 wind instruments"

Label: His Master’s Voice - ASD 572

Issue: Made in the UK - Original Gold/Cream labels

Year: 1964

CONDITION

Record: Visually nearly perfect! VERY silent recording throughout this one, and this fine copy has almost no noise to disturb. About 15 repetitive soft ticks at the end of side 1 can be heard though. Still grades VG++ I think. Please note that these records are part of a collection that resided in a closet for 25 years, I have not cleaned them myself and of course a good cleaning might improve on the sound quality

Cover: A beauty! Very clean, no ringwear. Strong spine. Lamination intact, just a few minimal creases. Labels are absolutely clean with no spindle marks. Sorry to say that there are two small marks, written in blue ink, on the back cover. I believe they can be carefully removed but this I can not guarantee. Still an extremely fine cover, but due to those marks I grade it: VERY GOOD++. Original innersleeve too, with some discreet writing.

Details: So now I'm adding some really heavy titles. Insured packages is a must for our mutual safety of course. Also: Bid with confidence, I'm very careful with my grading. Full money back guarantee if not satisfied, you can read about it in my return policy.

SHIPPING

First of all, PLEASE ignore any other prices regarding shipping costs except what is stated right below in this column.

I use strong new boxes for shipping. I always remove the record from the sleeve and seal them both in a plastic sleeve. I also add extra cardboard inside the package to protect the record.

Yes, I will wait for you to add extra titles for combined shipping. Ask me first though! If your combined winnings exceed 100 GBP I must insist on registered mail, which means an extra cost but also the possibility of tracking your package. This is because I need to guard myself against the (few) imposters that bid on records and then claim they have not received the package. I charge actual shipping costs, what the Swedish post charges me. I can't charge you less! Airmail only, it's not possible to send surface mail from Sweden. The prices you can check by consulting the Swedish Postal Service.

Shipping costs within Europe:

1 LP: 12 USD (up to 0,5 kg)
2-3 LP's: 21 USD (up to 1 kg)
4-7 LP's: 33 USD (up to 2 kg)

Shipping costs outside Europe:

1 LP: 13 USD (up to 0,5 kg)
2-3 LP's: 25 USD (up to 1 kg)
4-7 LP's: 39 USD (up to 2 kg)

Please note: These prices may vary a little but are correct for your average weight record. Boxed sets differ somewhat of course. Also older records mostly of the fifties and/or with heavy covers. I can't be responsible if your package gets lost in the mail, sorry! It has never happened to me but you never know. For your safety I strongly urge you to choose registered mail. NOTE: Italian and french bidders will have to pay for registered mail, too many packages seem to get "lost" there, sorry! If you feel that this is unfair, then contact me and maybe we'll come to a solution.

PAYMENT

Please wait for my invoice. Payment is expected within 7 days after you receive invoice. Exceptions can be made but please contact me about this before you bid. Paypal for buyers outside of Europe. Iban-transfer or paypal for Europe. Bank transfer for Swedish customers.
