GRIEG - Peer Gynt
Original UK 1st Edition Stereo LP
Decca (SXL 2012)
Rare UK first edition stereo pressing on the Decca wide band grooved label with "Original Recording by" print. Housed in a front laminated flipback sleeve with top and bottom straight flipbacks. This copy plays vg+, not for the mint collectors.
We are very strict when it comes to grading records and we always listen to classical LP's in their entirity. Many sellers only list the positives, we also list the negatives.
This is the second sleeve with straight flipbacks and green coloured front. The sleeve is VG+ condition. The sleeve has some light wear, no splits, no tears and no writing. It has general handling wear and some light dirtying to the rear as well as some small laminate creases and lifting. Solid but by no means near mint.
The labels are near mint condition. There is no writing, no stains and no spindle wear. There are just a very few and short spider marks on each side.
Visual grading for the record is Excellent. There is some original sheen left although it has dulled somewhat. Under a very bright light source i can only make out about two or three ultra light scuff lines on each side that cannot be felt.
Playback grade is only VG+ for both sides. It was played with a Nagaoka cartridge and Nagaoka elliptical stylus through Modaunt Short speakers. Side one has a small area of interference near the start with some crackle, a couple of clicks and pops. It only lasts for a couple of revolutions. Later on there are a few dull pops and very slight and occasiobnal crackle. Side two is not as nice, just a few dull pops but more crackle than on side one.
Please note that we grade all records the same whether they are 40 years old or 1 year old.

Our grading is strict so as not to disappoint, we have been selling on ebay since 1998 & know how important this is. Grading of records is done with the record angled under two 50 Watt halogen bulbs. Pictures are of the actual item up for auction. All records are packed securely & most importantly packed outside of the picture sleeve (in a plain inner sleeve) so as to avoid seam splits during shipping.
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 on both sides. 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.
