FROM A RECENTLY PURCHASED COLLECTION OF TOP QUALITY CLASSICAL LPs
THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE.
UNLIKE OTHER SELLERS, I AM IN MY MID FORTIES AND HAD THE ENCOURAGEMENT FROM EVEN MY PRE-SCHOOL AGE TO ENJOY ALL STYLES OF MUSIC FROM MY LATE FATHER, WHO WAS A RESPECTED MUSICIAN AND COLLECTOR OF CLASSICAL AND JAZZ MUSIC.
BY MY TEENAGE YEARS, ALTHOUGH LISTENING TO THE POP MUSIC OF THE 1970s, I TENDED TO ACTUALLY ENJOY CLASSICAL MUSIC MORE.
I HAVE SINCE DEVELOPED A KNOWLEDGE OF IT AND ESPECIALLY KNOW THE VERSIONS THAT ARE REGARDED BY MANY AS THE BEST AND WHILST I AM IN THE BUSINESS TO SELL, I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE ITEMS I AM SELLING.
IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET SUCH AS EBAY, THIS IS GETTING RARE SO YOU CAN BID WITH COMPLETE CONFIDENCE!
SO TO THE MAIN GRADING ITSELF................HERE IS>>>>>>>>>>>
AN ORIGINAL STEREO LP FROM 1958 ISSUED IN THE UK ON THE DECCA FULL FREQUENCY STEREOPHONIC LABELS .OVER 50 YEARS OLD!
VERY THICK PRESSING!
MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH ONLY A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE + THE ODD LIGHT"POP" AT HIGH VOLUME BUT THAT IS BEING STRICT!
NO STICKS!/NO JUMPS!/NO CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!/NO DISTORTION!
A COPY THAT HAS BEEN PLAYED ONLY A HANDFUL OF TIMES!!!!
THERE ARE VERY SLIGHT VISUAL SIGNS OF COVER REMOVAL BUT I AM CONFIDENT THIS HAS HAD NO MORE THAN A DOZEN PLAYS(IF THAT)ON TOP QUALITY EQUIPMENT!
Just how many were preserved like this one ??!!!!!!
The STEREO mixes are Superb and full of bass, with a natural warmth that only DECCA could supply in those early STEREO days!
EMI's HMV and COLUMBIA being the only serious rivals!
A SUPERB COVER WITH A FEW MINOR CREASES,SLIGHT STAINING TO THE BACK EDGES AND A LITTLE PART OF THE BOTTOM FLIPBACK NEEDS STICKING DOWN!
In 1958, many were usually using terrible old and heavy equipment and using worn styli or nasty autochangers that would scuff the discs forever in seconds.
The earliest STEREO equipment was quite often a bit basic and it was suggested to play LPs at between 5 and 8 grammes, which of course after a few plays would produce on later plays that nasty"film of fizzy distortion"so often IGNORED by sellers and in MY LISTENING GRADING is ALWAYS LISTENED OUT FOR WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON AND PLAYED TWICE TO ENSURE THE BEST AND MOST ACURATE GRADING!!!!
To find immaculate copies all these years later is getting almost impossible!
These mixes are far punchier but are rather flat on the CDs that have come out!
Vinyl is still the best way to hear vintage Classical nusic like this one and always will be!
GREAT WIDE RANGE SOUND!
I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.
There is NO spindle wear.
Look elsewhere on ebay and you will see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues,inferior USA issues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults.
MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!
This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS IF YOU HAVE ONE AT ALL AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!
AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN A VERY STRONG,EXCELLENT+++CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "MINT"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.MANY DEALERS WOULD CONSIDER STATING NEAR MINT!
ORIGINAL DECCA FFSS INNER SLEEVE!!
AN OUTER PVC COVER WILL BE SUPPLIED.
THE LP ITSELF AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM IT'S COVER BEFORE SENDING!
REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTO!
As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
Realistic £10 STARTING price with no annoying reserve. BUY IT NOW OFFERS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED!
IF NO BIDS, IT WILL PROBABLY NOT BE RELISTED AS I HAVE SEVERAL CUSTOMERS WHO WILL EASILY PAY ME THE STARTING PRICE SO DON/T LEAVE IT AND REGRET IT LATER!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS A GREAT CHANCE TO OWN A SUPER AND RARE LP. A GREAT INVESTMENT!
