Description
MAHLER : SYMPHONY No.9 BARBIROLLI & BERLIN PHILHARMONIC HMV ED1 SEMI ASD 596 & ED2 Col Stamp ASDS 597
Mixed set of this legendary recording of Mahler's Ninth. The first album is ED1 and the second ED2 (BTW - strangely I think the ED2 is actually much rarer).
Both albums have a few very light superficial paper sleeve markings which are only visible when viewed under harsh light at an angle. I have played both on a Goldring Lenco GL75 turntable with a Shure N75ED Type 2 stylus at relatively high volume and whilst there is some exceptionally light background noise at times, overall I would say these grade EX+.
The sleeves show some signs of age and some light creasing and so grade EX-.
Happy bidding!
Please note I use UK Record Collector grading system for all albums with the addition of the accepted Near Mint category:
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.
NEAR MINT: The record appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner
and is assumed to have been played by them
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.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
I try to be as accurate as possible, however, we are all human so if there are any problems please let me know.
