Decca SXL 2160-1-2 Wbg, ED1 NM! ~ ANSERMET ~ Tchaikowsky, Sleeping Beauty ~ Archive copy!

First 1959 pressing with "Original Recording..." labels. From the personal archive of a former record shop owner.

Please pay attention to my invoice-, payment- and shipping terms below!

If you don't agree to those terms, do not bid!color=red>

VINYL, visual grading: Near Mint, it looks unplayed! Matrix info 1E/2E/1E/1E/1E/1E.

As I don't have my own professional cleaning equipment, I consider (and recommend) this to the buyer. In my experience many records easily gain a grade with professional cleaning.

For detailed information regarding my grading, see below.

BOX: The box is split in all corners, one side has come loose, and there is wear and stains.

The leaflet is EX.

LABELS: a few spindle traces.

Please also look at the detailed photos.

No reserve.

Please ignore all automatically-generated invoices sent by eBay, and do not check out automatically. My Paypal account is set to Swedish krona (SEK) so please do NOT pay using Paypal until you get an invoice from me.

Gradingcolor>

For the three highest grades the records are visually graded. If I have had any doubts about the visual grading, or if a bidder asks for it, I will also play grade the record. I assume all records need cleaning and leave that to the buyer.

M: Mint. I only use this grade when a record is sealed.
NM: Near Mint. I won't grade any unsealed vinyl higher than this. The vinyl looks unplayed, but there might be surface marks from the inner sleeve, and there might be a few light spindle marks present on the labels.
NM-: Not quite Near Mint, has cosmetic flaws but should play NM.

For the following grades at least a part of each record (if not both sides in their entirety) has been play graded:

VG++: Excellent. Looks unflawed but not new; sound is fine.
VG+: Has cosmetic flaws, mild surface noise or short patches of ticking, but sound fine overall.
VG: Has moderate noise throughout or one or two bad patches from scratches.

Where a record is scratched or noisy I often enclose a sound clip.
