Philharmonic Orchestra conductor Kyril Kondrashin
Artist - Leonid Kogan
Sleeve - condition near mint with slight rubbing on bottom edge, inner sleeve original near mint.
Record - I have listened to this record on my Linn LP12 with Ekos arm and Quad amplification and would make the following comments.
Side 1 - There are a number of soft ticks within the first 6/7 seconds and a further number about 4 minutes in, thereafter there are occasional soft ticks about 9 minutes in and occasional tick around 18 minutes in. About 5 cm from the end of side 1 there is a very low frequency noise for about 3 seconds which I believe to be in the pressing.--- I consider that all these do not detract from the aural sound from the record side.
Side 2 There are slight ticks at the beginning and there is a low frequency sound repeated for abot 5 revolutions I beleive this to be within the pressing. The rest of the side has occasional ticks of no more than about 3/4 at a time. ----- I consider that none of these detract from the musicality of the disc.
Visually - side 1 is extremely good with a small scuff that does not appear to sound.
side 2 is in near mint appearance with a small non-sounding mark at one point at the end of the recording. The label of side 1 is near mint but side 2 label has had a stamp put on it at some time and discoloration can be seen in the picture.
Overall this record is excellent both aurally and visually and has wonderful sound but because of the things mentioned above it cannot really be classed as near mint but has to be the top end of excellent.I do not consider that any of the 'ticks' fall into the 'clicks' category.
A reasonable starting price has been given and in view of the records rarity I have set a realistic reserve.
I will be pleased to answer any questions.
