Description
RELISTED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EBAY REDUCED FEES OFFER AND PASSING THE SAVING TO YOU
Complete mint/unplayed 22 disc set of Coup d'Archet's single-sided, final approved test pressings of all Johanna Martzy's EMI recordings, including the controversial Sawallisch Mozart and Mendelssohn sessions. (Coup decided to honour Martzy's veto, but Testament Records had no such qualms and released them the following year; but not cut at Abbey Road). All 100% analogue advance-head cuts from EMI's original master-tapes (not later generation copies) at Abbey Road Studios with true audiophile quality pressings by optimal GmbH in 2010. 22 records complete with jackets (not the Sawallisch discs) featuring beautiful new artwork using previously unseen photos from the original shoots. Including heavy stock inserts of the original EMI Columbia artwork and notes, plus all session details.
What you see is what you get, packed like eggs.
For additional information, interesting reviews etc, please see the coupdarchet dot com website.
This set of records weighs 5kg before packaging, which is why international shipping is the price it is, sorry.

Regular clients will know that I keep my descriptions brief and to the point. If you are looking, I figure you will know what you are looking at. I would not presume to condescend nor would I wish to bore you to death with unnecessary hype. Used records play-checked on SME 15, SME V with VDH stereo, Lyra mono carts and cleaned when necessary on a Loricraft Pro II.
GRADINGS:
MINT (M): Brand new and unplayed. Perfect, no indications of being handled or played. I only use this grading if I know for sure the record has not been played.
NEAR MINT (NM): The record is virtually flawless, clean and shiny. Very minor, barely visible innerbag wear may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. Jacket is as close to perfect.
EXCELLENT (EX): Record plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a non-sounding mark or two but nothing that affects play. Record is clean and shiny. Any issues with the jacket will be minor and described.
Because I have never collected records that are a lower grade than EX, you won't be finding any for sale here.
I DO NOT USE EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAMME
Overseas shipping by Parcelforce Global Priority EMS Service. Please bear in mind that these records are heavy. Shipping is always at cost, including sturdy professional packing materials. Shipping into Europe will be £80. The overpayment will be refunded.
I ensure that my records arrive with you in the same lovely condition they leave me, carefully packed in secure professional wraps with sheet polystyrene and cardboard packing. Shipping costs reflect packaging. I do not use bits of old cardboard box or those cheap flimsy envelope style mailers.
Used records are always packed out of their jackets.
