GEORGE SZELL - Dvorak Slavonic dances Op 72, Nos 3-8

Original U.K. Stereo LP

Columbia (SCX 6054)

Scarce UK original pressing in a front laminated flipback sleeve on the black Columbia label with silver print and blue logo. Still in nice collectable condition, especially the record which is visually very nice & plays very well.

 Matrix:

Side 1) YAX 1298-1E

Side 2) YAX 1299-1E

The sleeve is in vg+ condition. A solid sleeve with just a couple of minor issues. One is where the laminate has creased by the spine & become dirty and the other is a sticker tear on the rear. Otherwise just the usual light shelf wear.

The labels are in excellent condition with just the lightest of spindle wear and a few spider marks on the side three label and just a couple on the side four label (please note this is not a double album, but the second album in a series). Vinyl retains a nice sheen & shows few signs of being played.

Still in nice collectable condition. The sleeve has just two defects, creasing to the front & a sticker tear to the rear. The labels show only light spindle wear and some spider marks. The vinyl has kept its original sheen with few signs of being played. 

Cleaned on an Okki Nokki professional record cleaning machine. Playback is the superb, i would say excellent +. As always there is slight crackle, but only very occasionally. A nice listening experience. Played with a Nagaoka Cartridge with Nagaoka Eliptical stylus through Mordaunt-Short MS 815 speakers. This set up is the most sensitive i have had.

Please note that this grading has nothing to do with the age of the record, we grade all records the same whether they are 40 years old or 4 days old. 

For the last 20 years we have been looking through 100's & even 1,000's of records every week, but we still only pull out a tiny percentage to sell on. 

Condition

We can only ship to the following countries by International signed For mail: France, The Netherlands, Russia. Please wait for an invoice. We no longer ship to Poland under any circumstances.

Near Mint

Almost mint.Very minor paper scuffs and very little else can appear on the vinyl. This will most likely have occurred during packaging, or removing the record from the inner sleeve but obviously it had been handled with extreme care.Any flaw should be very hard to see. The cover should look as close to perfect with only minor signs of wear and/or age. Minor impressions to the cover (due to the outer edge of the vinyl resting inside) may be acceptable, however the artwork should be as close to perfect as can be.

Excellent

An excellent condition for vinyl will allow minor scuffs (Scuffs lay on top of the grooves) which are visible but only slightly.The wear should be minimal.The play should be close to perfect as well. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear. Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show a little white, meaning slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs.

VG++

As Excellent but with a larger number of scuffs, maybe a couple of hairlines (very light scratch that can't be felt) or a couple of marks. Sound quality should still be very close to that of an Excellent record with only minor crackle in quiet segments only, NO scratches that can be felt. Cover as Excellent but there may be a small seam split on the cover, or a very minimal amount of writing like a name written in small writing or a number. A VG++ record should be an acceptable record to live with if you aren't looking to pay the price of a Near Mint copy.
