Rare Columbia Kogan Mono Violin Concerto Beethoven   VG+ LP (1 scratch)      VG   cover!!

soloist Pierre Fournier

Here is a sound sample of this exact record side A you are reading about.

Professionally cleaned, treated with LAST Record Preserver and FULLY Test played. This is an English  Series 33CX 1738 blue and gold label (1N/2N stampers) LP which is the mono version of SAX 2386, that stereo edition goes for MEGA dollars (check out popsike ) which makes this  also highly desirable in original Blue and Gold Label mono, so here's a good way to get the music on a record that  besides some random soft static like pops in quiet passages that are non repetetive, has only one   scratch which is mostly non sounding or has MINOR repetetive tics (see photo) in the middle of first movement. The rest has fine scuffs visible in sunlight . one large tic in opening minute or two from suspected needle drop, and half a dozen repeated tics just before last statement of first movement, (non visible).  Side two plays very well but there is OCCASIONAL pops and tics especially in quiet passages

LP Rated VG+

COVER VG  f/back cover UK  series cover. Has yellowing of non laminated rear. No seam splits, but some flaring and feathering to the opening edge (see photo) A few edge chips in the color, visible in photos.

Rarely ever seen in Australia

 LP test played after wet wash bath, treated with LAST.  'Last' record Preservative. (archive quality Vinyl preserver, said to minimise play related wear for upto 200 'plays')

Except for the tics as mentioned Kogan has a brilliance on the violin that has to be heard, so if you haven't already heard him, vote now........

RULES FOR BIDDING

DOES ANYBODY READ THIS?? I THINK NOT BASED ON RECENT BIDDING ACTIVITY ON MY ITEMS!! PLEASE READ...

If you have hidden feedback, or

less than 98% positive, or

less than 50 recent visible positives, (that's NEW EBAY registrations with little activity yet, that have proven your good buying habits)  THEN -

I would appreciate email contact first to establish your credentials.  Credentials mean that I need to know you will be paying with VERIFIED PAYPAL account, and I of course will only be mailing to that verified address. DON'T EXPECT TO GET MY PERMISSION IN THE LAST 2 HOURS OF BIDDING, DO IT BEFOREHAND. (Buyers who have had trouble free transactions with me already qualify of course, regardless of the feedback status)

Winning bids unpaid after 7 days will be reported as non paying bidder and item opened to second chance offer.

HAPPY BIDDING, QUESTIONS WELCOME

This listing in Australian dollars because I don't live in US or UK, and if you don't, WHAT A WASTE OF DOUBLE CONVERSIONS THAT WOULD BE!!! Also as the exchange rate is more like R.S. not U.S against our vibrant economy in sunny Australia

The keen starting price offers a great opportunity to own this great recording at a reasonable starting price.
