Stan Getz / Charlie Byrd Jazz Samba DCC LPZ-2011 LP EX/VG+

	£		18

This is the DCC limited edition audiophile reissue from 1995, remastered by Steve Hoffman from the original master tapes using all vacuum tube equipment and pressed on 180g vinyl. I've owned this record from new and played it only a handful of times in the past, not at all in the last 12 years. Track listings, personnel and other information can be seen on the back of the sleeve in one of the photographs. This copy is limited edition number 3262.

Grade (sleeve first) using the Record Collector grading scheme, reproduced below: EX/VG+.

There is a small (about 1mm across) round mark at the beginning of track 2 side 1. I've play tested this section (Rega P3/RB300/Elys) and the mark generates an audible 'click' that repeats about 10 times. The record looks clean apart from that.

Please read these grading notes before bidding / buying:

1. All grades are visual only unless stated otherwise. Since this is inevitably subjective I try to err on the side of caution and grade conservatively. The highest grade I will give to a record I have played is EX+ if I have only played the record a few times and the playing surfaces appear pristine.
2. Most records have some surface noise and in my experience this is the case even with brand new 'audiophile' pressings played for the first time. Surface noise is usually more noticeable on classical records which often have long quiet passages where the signal-to-noise ratio is lower. I have bought many such records and found that almost all have some background ticks and crackles - you just have to accept that this is part of the vinyl listening experience, especially with classical music. Please take this into account before bidding/buying.

Please see my other items for a number of other records for sale. 

Combined shipping is available for multiple orders. 

UK buyers will pay the p&p cost for the item with the highest p&p cost plus £1 for each additional record. For auctions, wait until every auction you have bid on has ended before completing checkout, for buy-it-now listings click 'add to basket' for each record you wish to purchase and the discount will be applied automatically at checkout.

For buyers outside the UK, the shipping cost for a multiple order will depend on the weight and value of the records. Either contact me before buying, listing the records you want to buy, and I will send you a quote or just add each record you want to buy to your basket and either click the 'request total from seller' link or just wait for me to send you a combined invoice. Please note that I may not be monitoring my ebay or email accounts at the time you make your purchase, so it may be a few hours before you receive the invoice.

I pack records carefully with the record outside the sleeve (for records that have been opened) in a layer of bubble wrap and ship them in a dedicated corrugated cardboard record mailer.

Record Collector grading scheme:

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
