Was bought new by this seller many years ago and now sold from his private collection (you
have absolutely known provenance). Has had one play only on side 1 (I did not play any
LP sides without first treating them with LAST vinyl preservative). Played 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. Side 1 was cleaned on a VPI HW 16 after LAST treatment and before first play.
Track list
A: The Flight Into Egypt, St. Michael Archangel.
B: The Martins of St. Claire, St. Gregory the Great.
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 only thing I could find was light rubbing marks on the top
edge. Otherwise it is indistinguishable from an LP just removed from shrink wrap.
Vinyl: NM (Near Mint) Side 1 has a LAST vinyl preservative sticker and was played once. Side
two is Mint, as it was never played.
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" Original Master style sleeve. The original inner
sleeve, even though 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
I will pay for USPS insurance on the final sale value.
