Description
Beethoven: The Nine Symphonies/Bruno Walter
Very rare original 8LP set, first UK stereo pressings, plum/silver "Hi-Fi-Stereo" labels, in hinged box, complete with booklet insert; includes rehearsal LP
Philips SABL 133-3, 166-70 and D99893L (rehearsal LP) stereo
Box in near EX condition; gilt lettering on spine a bit rubbed
Booklet in EX condition
Discs in EX to near MINT condition with full original vinyl lustre; there is just one tiny almost inaudible mark on one disc - this is the only "fault" and is basically insignificant
A very nice example of this very rare set!
Condition Grading of Vinyl Records
I am somewhat conservative in the condition-grading of records because, due to the high volume of items handled, it is impossible for me to test-play every record. All records are subject to detailed visual scrutiny after professional cleaning; more valuable items are usually test-played. Please see my Returns Policy for details of my no-quibble money-back guarantee which is applicable in the rare event of dissatisfaction, for whatever reason.
I use the basics of Record Collector's Rare Record Prices Guide grading as the the system employed in the condition-grading of vinyl records offered for auction

NB: Surface mail options for overseas shipping are available at approximately two-thirds of airmail costs, but this method can take up to 5 weeks for delivery; please email me at the time of invoice if you require this service. Alternatively, I may choose to send bulky lots in excess of 2.5kg (for either Mainland UK or Overseas addresses) via Fedex or other courier, usually at slightly reduced costs, which may take about 1 week for delivery from time of dispatch
I endeavour to dispatch items as soon as possible after payment has been received and/or cleared. However, and in particular to allow for the vagaries of the various postal services, please allow 10 days (UK) or 14 days (overseas) for delivery. You should, however, receive your purchases much quicker than this!
