Description
12” Vinyl LP on
Vitadisc TC/L 59
released in 1957
LORD MELODY/CYRIL DIAZ AND HIS ORCHESTRA • Trinidad Carnival
No cover.
Vinyl is G to G+
Covered with scratches.
First song on both sides starts pretty rough then improves.
Plays through without skipping with an Ortofon Red cartridge at 1.8 grams tracking weight.
Light to moderately heavy crackling throughout most of it, but I found it possible to still appreciate the music. See/hear video sample.
I only offer a record this beat up, with no cover, because of its incredible rarity.
True fans will understand.
My packaging standard is new Whiplash mailers, or similar high quality reused mailers; double boxing on request.
Records are often (not always) shipped with new MoFi inner sleeves and
a resealable outer. I lose money on deals every week and don’t care.
Get some.
Domestic shipping free.
International shipping will vary based on location. Message me for prices.
Please don't ask me to ship as a gift, or report lower than actual purchase price on customs forms.
Returns? Of Course!
I don't believe in "as is" sales when inspection of merchandise prior to payment isn't possible.
Grading:
M only used for new sealed stock
NM barely played, appears flawless, older sealed stock
EX lightest of paper scuffs only
VG+ hard to notice fine lines/scuffs, you need to be looking closely in good light to see anything
VG my broadest category, split into three grades by using weak/strong to modify, strong VG is a lovely glossy disc w/more than a couple light ones, weak VG we descend into the realm of steady crackle and pop
G+ noisy enough to be hard to tolerate. Placeholder.
G no skips, but pretty awful. Only offered if rare
