GEORGE SZELL mendelssohn / weber 

Beautiful copy of this rare first edition!

SLEEVE:  VG++
Just very light wear. Small 2 written in the corner on the back

RECORD: VG++ to EX
Great pitch black shine , only interrupted by some light hairlines visible in strong light
Record play nice and vibrant but have some static and I hear a single dust pop here and there. One short area with slightly more crackle.  This will most likely be improved by a ultra sonic clean! 

ALL THE CLASSICAL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY GRADED BUT I HAVE LISTENED TO THEM. THEY NEED A ULTRA SONIC CLEAN. 
I have tested the record on my Clearaudio Concept with moving coil. Records are mainly visually graded due to each record plays different on every record player.

COUNTRY:  UK
LABEL:  COLUMBIA SAX 2524

GRADES:

Grades are sleeve/record. Only one grade means there is no picture sleeve. If there is a picture sleeve missing to this issue I will note it in the description. 

note that my grades are mainly visual

NC = Center missing. WOC = Writing on cover. WOBC = Writing on back cover.  SWOBC = Slight writing on back.WOL=Writing on label CW = Cover wear. RW = Ringwear. SOC / SOL = Sticker on cover/label SSOL=Sticker stain on label SOBC = Sticker on backcover, TOL = Tapemarks on lbl,  SWDNAP = Slight warp does not effect playing,TOC = Tape,tapemarks on cover, SPS = Split seam

M- is just a shade away from Mint, what many call Mint. I rarely call records mint cause there are so many things that a human eye and miss. I very rarely grade records with this grade. Sleeve should be as close to perfect and new from the factory as you can get. 

EX is also really really clean, just a handfull of light hairlines. . Sleeve should have no real faults, maybe a hint of dirt or a bit wrinkly, maybe a bit yellowed.

VG++ a great copy that could have a few hairlines but still lots of luster / shine or maybe one or two light marks but very shiny apart from that, these records also play great. Sleeve could have slight general wear but look nice. Maybe a clean sleeve with just one rip or two at the opening.

VG+ still a decent copy, most used records are in this condition or less. Can have quite a few hairlines and a few light marks but still some shine. Could also be very shiny but with one small more distinct mark making a pop or two. Must play well with just light crackle or maybe the odd lighter pop.  More general wear or maybe small writing, small tear or so. Generally looks OK

VG can have many hairlines or small light marks, may even have some bigger marks but nothing too bad. Can play with some distortion but nothing that overcomes the music. Still good enough to DJ with, usually it even plays better than VG but the visual is a lot of wear. More wear, tears etc

VG- my worst grade, records are well used. Play with distortion at most times, usually works as a DJ copy still. Not a beautiful sleeve, tears, writing, probably both.
