NM- WESTMINSTER XWN 18007 JANIGRO CELLO BLOCH SCHELOMO BRUCH RODZINSKI US-1955 ** Early Stampers 1AE/1L ** Rare Early Westminster / Blue & Silver Label / Orig US Press 1955 / Mono Recording
Bloch: Schelomo. Bruch: Kol Nidrei & Canzone. Artur Rodzinski, conducting Philharmonic Symphony Of London [LPO] Antonio Janigro, cello Program notes by Irving Kolodin
Record Grading NM Vinyl is in beautiful condition. High gloss and very little spindle wear. LP previously belonged to an audio engineer, now deceased, who cared for his records well and knew how to store them properly. This album has a VERY low play count (if any at all). Still in original inner sleeve (see pic) when received by me. LP will be transferred to anti-static, acid free MoFi poly liner. 1AE/1L stampers.
Jacket Grading EX++ Jacket is in fantastic shape. Sharp corners. The white backgrounds are still stark/bright, with very little discoloration or fading from aging, handling or wear. Title on jacket spine is extremely clear and legible. No tape, no writing, no tears. I've marked down to EX+ due to small amount of seam separation along top right corner. It is a very clean split and, fortunately, no one tried to repair in. In the attached photo, I'm holding it open with my pinkie (outside of frame) to show size of the gap with a pencil for spatial reference. The only other issue is a tiny bit of laminate fraying on top left corner near the Westminster logo.
Overall Grading NM- A nearly perfect version of a rare and highly sought Westminster release. This is one that I hardly EVER come across. Pristine with the exception of the clean seam break along the top half of cover. Vinyl appears unplayed. This is easily the nicest copy I've ever seen of WL 18007, one that you will never need to upgrade. Janigro's playing on this one is confident & joyous. Remarkable!
Shipping Policy:
All LPs are secured with bubble-wrap and carefully placed in proper mailers with specialized cardboard inserts for reinforcement. LPs will be shipped in their inner sleeve, stored outside of the record jacket to avoid damage in transit. Box sets are mailed with the LPs remaining inside, after placing thin sheets of packing paper or bubble-wrap inside to further reduce movement of contents.
I am happy to combine auction items to reduce your shipping costs. However, if you want multiple items to mailed in one package DO NOT PAY until you are done bidding.
I mail purchased items very quickly, typically same day, but ONLY to the address specified in the original request.
** I WILL NEVER SHIP TO A LOCATION OTHER THAN THE ONE LISTED ON THE INVOICE **
Return Policy:
Please read my return policy carefully before bidding. It will minimize surprises and misunderstandings.
1. My shipping costs are nonrefundable. Return shipping costs are the buyers responsibility.
2. My listings include high resolution, close-up photos taken under bright light. Please review them before making bidding decisions. I am happy to send additional photos upon request.
3. Returns may be requested up to 30 days after item is delivered. Refunds will be issued only after the returned item is in hand and confirmed to be in the same condition as pictured in the original listing. SEALED ITEMS MUST BE RETURNED SEALED. "NEVER PLAYED" RECORDS MUST BE RETURNED UN-PLAYED.
4. When purchasing "never played" records, you may see remnants from the original packaging process on the LP. My policy is to let you clean this off with your own equipment. Experienced collectors know that fine cardboard dust or bits of paper from the original sleeve are the most reliable evidence that a record has never been played. For more information on this topic visit the websites of a trusted RCM manufacturer such as VPI, Record Doctor, Okki Nokki, or Nitty Gritty.

Any item that you purchase from me comes out of 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 simply run out of storage space. The majority of the items that I sell are duplicate copies looking for a good home and a pair of keen, appreciative ears. Please enjoy this music with family, friends and loved ones!!
