For Sale
Ataulfo Argenta made a number of highly regarded albums for Decca/London, and this would have to be one of them. The FFSS recordings began their catalogue numbers with CS 6001 (Peter Maag's rendition of Mendelssohn's incidental music to A Midsummer Night's Dream and continued to about CS 6237 (David Oistrakh's assay of Bruch's and Hindemith's violin concerti). In particular, side two of this recording gives your stereo rig a real workout! For realistic stereo spread, this record is hard to beat!
Label information: London: CS 6006 stereo, FFSS recording, with wide-label banner, blue back jacket, pressed in England
Composer(s) and featured works:
Rimsky-Korsakov: Capriccio Espagnol, Op.34
Granados: Andalusia--Danza espanola No.5 in E minor, Op.37
Chabrier: España Rhapsody
Moszkowski: Spanish Dances (Book 1), Op.12
Performers: Ataulfo Argenta conducts the London Symphony Orchestra
Visual grade: VG+/VG++. Obviously played numerous times, but the record retains its shine, and it has no long scratches which tick extensively.
Play grade: NM- throughout s.1, with sporadic ticks/NM- to NM throughout s.2. Again, some random, sporadic ticks. Overall (especially in loud passages), very impressive sound!
Jacket grade: G+. Worn corners. Hard-to-read words on spine.
New Policy Changes, Effective July 15, 2015
Only my pricing policy has changed, primarily because of the labor intensive nature of selling records the Craig Chase Vinyl way. My way makes me unique among the other fine record sellers on eBay today. This policy change is the first significant one I’ve made since I first began selling records on eBay over 13 years ago. Some reasons for the change are:
- I clean every record I sell. I use proprietary methods which are safe and effective and leave your records as clean as possible. I even clean and repair outer sleeves (and sometimes inner sleeves as well!) should they have some reparable damage (e.g., an open seam, surface grime, and the like).
- I inspect and play-grade every record I sell, except for still-sealed records. (See my grading scale, below).
- I craft my own heavy-duty mailers, not only to save you money, but to protect your investment as it wings its way to you.
- I ship your purchases usually within 24 hours of receiving your payment.
- I offer a no-quibble money-back guarantee should you feel I have exaggerated your record’s condition. Just send it back to me in the shape in which you found it, and I’ll refund your purchase price, including your initial shipping cost. If you prefer to keep the record, I will issue you a partial refund (or credit for a future purchase).
Shipping
- Shipping cost is based on your package's weight. The first single record (plus container) weighs 1 pound, 2 ounces. Each additional record weighs 10 ounces. Obviously, box-sets weigh more.
- Normal domestic shipping is by Media Mail.
- Normal International shipping is by First-Class Mail International.
Record Play-Grades
SS = Still sealed; unopened and un-played; condition unknown.
NM+ = Near Mint Plus. Extraordinarily clean, quiet, and virtually unmarked, except perhaps for a very light spindle track on the label; may not have been played.
NM = Near Mint. Clean and quiet, regardless of scuffs, hairline scratches or apparent defects.
NM- = Near Mint Minus. Less quiet than NM, with a bit more background noise, regardless of its source.
VG++ = Very good plus plus. Noisier than NM-; may say why.
VG+ = Very good plus. Noisier than VG++; will say why.
Sleeve Grades
Exc = Excellent. Virtually perfect; may be shrink-wrapped or not; looks almost new.
Exc- = Excellent minus. No major defects; clean, sound, and mark-free; perhaps a slightly bent corner or two.
VG + = Very Good Plus. May have a couple small defects, such as a little writing or a little staining or yellowing, but it's quite presentable.
VG = Very Good. Defects are more noticeable; may have needed seam repair with hot glue.
G = Good. Sleeve has some obvious challenges but is still somewhat presentable.
F = Fair. Need I say more?
