Was bought new by this seller many years ago and now sold from his private collection (you 
have absolutely known provenance). Has had at most a couple of plays on an expertly 
setup high-end audiophile turntable, arm, and cartridge. Has never been exposed to heat 
or tobacco smoke and always stored vertically in a specially designed record cabinet (Rackit) 
to prevent warpage.

Track list

A: Serenata Concertante for Violin and Orchestra, Movements 1-4.
B: Symphony for Double String Orchestra, Movements 1-4.

Grading 
Note: record grading by text characters is subjective and does not fully describe quality 
levels. Please see photos and my very detailed descriptions below.

Outer Jacket:  NM- (Near Mint Minus) About five very tiny rubbing marks on bottom edge, One tiny 
rub mark on the upper left front cover (see photo), a tiny rub mark on upper left front corner 
(see photo), and some tiny rub marks on the upper right edge (see photo). 

Vinyl: NM- (Near Mint Minus)  Minus is for the LAST vinyl preservative stickers on both labels. I 
always  applied LAST preservative to every new record before its first play, then cleaned on a 
VPI-HW16 to remove any mold release compound. The vinyl is beautifully perfect with no marks of
any kind whatsoever.Any residual vinyl noise is only what was there in the original manufactured 
pressing. None has been added by playing or handling.

Packaging
Record will be placed outside the jacket to protect against seam splitting.
Original inner sleeve is included separately.
Record has been placed into a new "rice paper" sleeve, as the original, even if plastic lined, 
may be holding onto some dust. This will keep vinyl surface clean during shipping and ultimate 
buyer usage.
Outer jacket is contained in a new clear polyethylene protective sleeve.
Sent in good quality record mailer with cardboard stiffeners.

Shipping
Shipping will be via USPS Media Mail for a flat charge of $4.50 per single album sale.
A combined shipping discount is available on multiple sales completed within 5 business days 
($3.98 plus $0.50 for each additional LP). If you intend to buy more than one LP do not pay immediately
but wait for my all-combined invoice. A discount for the combined items will show on that invoice. 
Then, once payment is received, the items will ship.
