The Art of Rosa Ponselle LP
Single-sided 12" TEST-PRESSING LP
UK Cat. No: unknown
Matrix: HBRP 2400-1A
US Cat.No: CDN 1006
in plain card sleeve
I have acquired a substantial collection of (mostly single-sided) original TEST PRESSING/FACTORY SAMPLE LPs on the UK Decca/RCA labels. They are from a deceased Decca reviewer's collection which I will be offering individually for auction over the coming weeks.
As was normal practice, most of these bear only their matrix numbers and intended American Catalogue numbers on the label, rather than their eventual UK Catalogue numbers; therefore, although these are indeed UK pressings, it can be very difficult to match them to their eventual UK release details, especially as some may never have been released in standard retail format within the UK.
I have, therefore, given as much information as I can reasonably provide, including a scan of the label above, being totally dependent on the information shown on the label; I cannot, therefore, accept reponsibility for any errors or ommissions contained thereon, although my normal Returns Policy applies. Any additional research will have to be undertaken by potential buyers either prior to bidding or after purchase.
Dvorak: Symphony No.5 in E minor

My records are graded in accordance with Record Collector's Grading System as follows:
EXCELLENT (EX): 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 (VG): 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 (G): 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
+ or - indicates a grading in between categories
Postage and packing: UK first class £2.75; Europe airmail £4.25; Americas airmail £5.75; ROW airmail £6.00.
I offer reduced postage rates for combined multiple purchases as follows:
UK mainland: Price as quoted above for first LP plus £1.25 for each additional LP
Overseas: Price as quoted above for first LP plus £1.75 for each additional LP
These shipping prices apply to to a maximum combination of 5 x LPs only. For larger shipments, please await invoice before making payment. Parcels sent to UK adresses weighing in excess of 1.5kg will usually be sent by Standard Parcel Rate
Overseas buyers should note that the maximum weight for Airmail Small Packets is 2kg and larger shipments may either have to be split or sent via Fedex "Parcels To Go". Surface mail quotes for parcels weighing less than 2kg (a somewhat cheaper service outside of Europe, but which can take up to 6 weeks to arrive) are available on request
Insurance
Insurance against loss or damage by the Postal Services is available for an additional charge as follows:
UK: Package value below £30 = 68p (Recorded Delivery); Package value above £30 = £3.65 (Special Delivery)
All Overseas Countries: £5.00 (International Signed For Airmail)
Please note that, whilst it it comparatively rare for items to be lost or damaged in the post (the quality of packaging I use is substantial), my part of the transaction contract is legally completed as soon as the item is in the hands of the Post Office. I will not, therefore, accept responsibility for any loss or damage by the Postal Services. Whilst I am happy to provide help and advice, all such claims remain the responsibility of and must be made by the buyer. Due to the volume of items handled I am unable to provide on-line trackable proof of posting unless one of the above insurance options is requested by and paid for at the time of remittance by the buyer
Whilst I endeavour to dispatch items as soon as possible after payment has been received and/or cleared, please allow up to 14 days for delivery (21 days if overseas). I generally post-out once a week over the weekend; items for which payment has not been received by Wednesday evening are unlikely to be included in that weekend's postal dispatch.
