Has been rated in the TAS (The Absolute Sound) magazine's Super Disc List as "Best of the bunch"
for having the best performance and sound of all time.
Carefully preserved for many years and sold from my private collection (you have absolutely known
genealogy). Side 2 was played once on an expertly setup high-end audiophile turntable, arm,
and cartridge. Side 1 was never played. 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: Eight English Dances.
B: Four Scottish Dances, Four Cornish Dances.
Grading
Note: record grading by text characters is subjective and does not fully describe quality
levels. Please see photos and my detailed descriptions below.
Outer Jacket: NM (Near Mint) The Jacket still has its original shrink wrap intact except for the jacket
side opening. Note the import labels on both the front and back. It visually appears to be
indistinguishable from a new record because of shrink wrap protection and personal handling.
Vinyl: (NM) Surface visuals are glossy high luster with no scratches or scuffing as inspected under
high intensity halogen light. Side 2 was treated with LAST vinyl preservative before being played
once long ago. There is a LAST sticker on that label. Absolutely no spindle wear. Any audible
groove noise is only whatever amount was contained 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 paper/plastic inner sleeve is included separately.
Record has been placed into a new "rice paper" Master style sleeve.
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
I will pay for a tracking number and USPS insurance on the final item value.
