The record(s) has/have been meticulously cleaned on my improved Keith Monks Record Cleaning Machine for which I have devised a very effective cleaning method. This is already a $2.50 value per record.
The legendary performance of the Sonata Arpeggione in such a marvellous recording never fails to move the listener. Both artists play with compassion in the Schubert and with passion in the Bridge Sonata.
This is an extremely beautiful copy with pristine surfaces and perfect sound.
The record is NM. So is the cover, except for some signs of handling at the left upper corner. Furthermore the former owner glued a review from a Dutch magazine on the back of the cover.
I would not sell this copy if I did not own a similar pressing in the same high quality.

Feedback
I sell records, some catalogs and books and once in a while some equipment. All records that I sell are auditioned by me partially or in some cases entirely before grading.
If you are content with the item(s) your feedback is appreciated. Only after you have left feedback I will leave feedback to you.
Warranty
If you are not content with the item(s) please let me know. If you want to return an item for a refund, the cost for sending it back to me will have to be paid by you. I will return the actual (auction) price, not the cost of the initial shipment to your address. I will pay immediately after receiving the parcel, however only if the contents is exactly in the state as it was sent to you. This warranty is only paying off in case of an item where the total amount received by me exceeds the cost of shipment two ways. In other words it pays off for expensive items.
The quality of a used record can only fully be judged if it is professionally cleaned. It not only will show less or no surface noise, but it will also be clear that the signal will have improved significantly.
A clean record will heighten the ambience of the recording and the intensity of the performance. Add to this the technological knowledge we have today of how to set up a playback system (even if vintage components are being used), and it is really astounding that old records from the nineteen fifties and sixties, and even newer pressings from the nineteen seventies and eighties, contain so much details, harmony and realism. In fact the record will sound as it originally was intended to.
