Record Grading:?   Sides 1-4:  NM+ Never played. Removed from inner sleeves for first time to capture stamper detail 1A/1B/1C/1K 
Jacket Grading:    NM- Jacket is in pristine condition. I'm a strict grader with jackets and have marked down from NM+ to NM- due to light bend/crease in bottom right corner on back of jacket along with very small patch of missing laminate. These are minor but still worth calling out and displaying in several close high-resolution photos. Seams are strong with no splits. Laminate is fully intact except in corner as noted. Colors are all rich/deep with no signs of fading. High gloss. Album shows little to no signs of handling or wear.         Overall:   NM This is a pristine copy of a mono-only 2 LP set of Richter's legendary 1960 Carnegie Hall debut.  The records have never been played.  The Canfield Guide lists this rare release as a "suppressed issue." Both original inner sleeves (paper) will be included, but LPs will ship in antistatic premium MoFi poly liners which will provide better protection.
Shipping:    I use a precise scale when calculating final postage to eliminate all unnecessary shipping expenses. I am always happy to combine auction items and will do everything I can to reduce the final cost of items you purchase from me. All LPs are secured with bubble-wrap and carefully placed in proper mailers with specialized cardboard inserts for reinforcement. The LP will be shipped in its inner sleeve, stored outside of the record jacket to avoid damage in transit.     Note: This is an item that is out of print or considered a collectible. Returns can only be made if the item is not as described. Bidder has 7 days upon receipt to inform me. I will issue refund once item is in hand, and confirmed to be in the exact same condition as pictured in original. Return shipping costs are the buyer’s responsibility. My shipping is nonrefundable. Buyer’s remorse is not covered by this return policy.
This record comes from my personal library. I am first and foremost a music lover & collector, NOT a dealer or bulk seller. I am auctioning off a few choice pieces as I have run out of storage space. The majority of the items that I sell are duplicate copies looking for a good home. Please enjoy this music with your friends and loved ones!!
