Handel Olevsky Valenti Ormandy Violin Sonatas 3 LP

Note: If you were watching or bidding last week on the jazz collection, I am now offering a collection of classical music from the 50's and 60's that was a part of the same estate.  Most of these records are in Mint or Near Mint condition (Although I won't use the word mint in my grading ). Its rare to find these in good condition and when they're gone, They're Gone ! Most of the covers were not stored in plastic protectors so some of them have some light shelf wear and some light discoloration, but most of the vinyl is extremely nice for 50 year old vinyl . The original owner had written in ink pen of when and where he had purchased the albums on most. It is usually a small sentence that does not cover any print on the back.  Any markings will be listed in the description.  Some pictures may not have turned out too good but I try to describe the cover condition. A lot of the pictures have a shaded spot in lower left corner. If you have any specific concerns just email me before bidding ! Check out my other items for sale for more Rare albums. It will take at least a month or longer to list all of the classical records. Yes, I will combine shipping !! If you win multiple items you must email me first in order to receive an invoice with accurate shipping costs.  I can safely ship 10 records per box overseas, so combined shipping discount starts over after 10 records. Shipping Overseas is $13.00 USD for the first record and $4.00 USD for each additional record. All other shipping for multiple items will be calculated at the media mail rate after requesting invoice.

Grading Standards (45's and LP's)

Mint: Absolutely perfect in every way ( I probably will never use this grade)

Near Mint (NM) : No Obvious signs of wear on record or label

Near Mint - (NM-) : Almost Near Mint with some minor scuffs (paper scratches) or minor label flaw

Very Good + (VG+) : Record will show signs that it was played and taken care of. Scuffs or light scratches are common but not very pronounced with maybe slight surface noise.Label may have minor writing or tiny sticker attached.

Very Good (VG) : Visible scratches are more pronounced and surface noise will be evident upon playing.Groove wear will start to be noticable, as will light scratches(deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Label may be marred by writing or have stickers attached.

Good (G) : Record will play through without skipping, but will have significant surface noise and scratches. Labels may be marred, torn, and/or have stickers attached. Use as a filler for your collection until a better copy comes along.

Fair (F) Poor (P) : The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. I won't list this grade unless record is very rare and hard to find.

Grading Standards (78 RPM)

N : As new and unplayed ( I probably will never use this grade)

N- : Nearly mint, But has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage

E+ : Plays like new with few signs of wear

E : Still very shiny, with a few scuffs and scratches

V+ : Average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Surface noise is not overly pronounced

V : Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

V- : Quite playable still, But distortion and heavy graying in loud passages. Surface noise and scratches below music level.

G : Record is worn and scratched, But music level is higher than surface noise

F : Most of music remains audible over surface noise, But listening now uncomfortable.

P : Unplayable. I won't list this grade unless record is rare and hard to find

I am not a record expert and I try to grade records to the best of my ability using the Goldmine price guide's standards and VJM's grading system on 78's but my opinion of condition may differ from someone else's opinion. Since I list so many records I cannot play them all so grading is visual but you may buy with confidence because I offer a complete refund if the record is not as described in my listing. I can combine shipping to save shipping costs. If you are interested in more than one auction please email me to let me know you are wanting to bid on more items so I won't send you an invoice before you are finished. Check out my other items page for more rare records and other neat items. If you have any questions please email me. Thanks for looking !!
