I do not use record-seller grading systems. But if I did, the sleeve would be “MINT.”

Record surfaces:

Faust -  Some visible surface marring (not scratches) with some audible in quietest sections.

Carmen – Similar visible surface marring (Entr’acte – Aragonaise), but not audible. Very quiet throughout. Spacious soundstage, depth, crispness—what you’d expect. Depth-bomb bass in the Habanera. Spectacular. The crescendos in the Prelude sound a might over-driven, in my opinion.

Inner sleeve is a replacement. 

NOTE: I do not subject my vinyl to any cleaning processes. Listeners may hear some static and extraneous pops. Any issues I describe here I am  assuming are not amenable to cleaning.

Played through on a Revox linear tracking turntable with a new cartridge and stylus.

I do not use "visual inspection" as the only criteria for vinyl condition. And I do not use vinyl sellers' grading systems.

Ask questions if you have them.

FREE domestic shipping for up to 2 LPs. Modest fee thereafter.

NOTE: insurance may be required for items valued at $50 and over.

International Buyers -- please see Shipping DETAILS for costs to your country.
