Description
Serge's Initials B.B. first press Philips black label Gravure Universelle from 1968. Complete with original gold price sticker and languette. The record is tip-top NM, not a mark. The half-laminated flipback is top NM not a blemish - though it must be said the languette is hanging on by its teeth. Replacement inner bag long ago. This came from a dear friend of mine who had a lovely little shop in Paris. He bought it from a Philips rep who had never played it. Probably played half a dozen times on the finest hifi since then. Unbeatable.

Please check my other listings, my feedback, my 22 year eBay history and buy with confidence.
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 cart 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. 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.
