Lilli LEHMANN (soprano)
FIDELIO (Beethoven): Komm, Hoffnung, lass den letzten Stern // Ich folg'dem innern Triebe
Pressed from Original Odeon Masters, cut Berlin, 1907. Orig issue: Odeon 80006/7 (just try to find a copy in wear-free condition!) Superb pressing on high quality shellac - she is STUNNING!
Conservative Grade: 1-2
All records are shipped in new boxes, via USPS Media Mail w. Delivery Confirmation.
I have been a dealer in rare 78rpm discs since 1992, and offer only records in top condition - no scratches, stressed grooves, or other serious damage. My grading standards are identical to those of Lawrence F. Holdridge, Milt Weiss, Norbeck Peters & Ford, and other well-known USA dealers.
GRADING
1-2 TOP Condition - no visible wear or significant defects
2 VERY FINE COPY - only a few light non-sounding (NS) rubs or marks
2-3 FINE COPY - a few more light ns rubs, marks, or blemishes
3 VERY GOOD COPY - light gray traces (LGT), usually inaudible, and possibly other superficial, ns flaws, or possibly light-sounding thumps or swish due to inherent pressing defects
3-4 GOOD COPY - discs in this category have slightly more audible sonic wear from minor gray traces (MGT) usually on fortissimo passages, and possibly other sounding defects, such as ticks from small scratches (SS) or needle digs (ND)
