ARTIST & TITLE:  SAX 2269-72 COLUMBIA Turq./Silver. SCHWARZKOPF, KARAJAN. Der Rosenkavalier

VINYL PRESSING:  UK PRESSING 

LABEL: COLUMBIA

CAT # SAX 2269-72

MATRIX CODES:  YAX 49 - 2 / YAX 50 -3 / YAX 51 -6 / YAX 52 -11 / YAX 53 -12 / YAX 54 -5 / YAX 55 -1 /YAX 56 -12

VINYL CONDITION: EX-/VG+ OVERALL THE VINYL IS NICE AND SHINY, IT LOOKS HARDLY PLAYED, IF AT ALL, (I CAN'T REALLY EVEN SEE ANY SPINDLE MARKS)  BUT HAS BEEN SITTING IN ITS SLEEVES FOR 30 YEARS SO IS A BIT DUSTY AND COULD PROBABLY USE A GOOD WASH. I HAVE LOOKED AT ALL 4 VINYL UNDER A STRONG LIGHT AND THERE IS MINIMAL PAPER SCUFFS,. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SCUFFS WHICH I SPOT CEHCKED AND THEY DON'T MAKE ANY SOUND. THERE IS ONE SMALL SCUFF ON SIDE 3 WHICH YOU CAN HEAR A TICK TICK TICK FOR ABOUT 15 REVOLUTIONS, BUT ITS NOT TOO DISTRACTING AND DOESNT SKIP OR JUMP. MOST PEOPLE WOULD GRADE ALL THIS VINYL A STRAIGHT EX- (SOME MIGHT EVEN CALL IT NM-) BUT I TRY TO BE VERY HARD ON MY GRADINGS, WHEN I LISTENED TO THE VINYL IN SECTIONS ITS SOUNDS AMAZING, NICE AND CRISP THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF SURFACE NOISE BUT THATS FROM THE DUST. ITS NOT MINT, BUT ONCE CLEANED I RECKON IT WILL EASILY GRADE UP TO A EX- (SOME MIGHT EVEN TRY AND CALL IT NM- BUT I DONT USE THAT GRADE EVER UNLESS SOMETHING IS SEALED.) NM- COPIES OF THIS CAN SELL FOR OVER $500 SO MINE WHICH HAS A FEW TINY FAULTS BUT SOUNDS AMAZING OVERALL IS CHEAP IN COMPARISON. AND I SINCERELY BELIEVE UNLESS YOU CAN FIND A COPY THATS NEVER BEEN PLAYED - THIS ONE IS FANTASTIC.

THERE IS NO LIBRETTO. SORRY, BUT THERE ARE TWO ORIGINAL CARDBOARD DIVIDERS AND RICE(?) PAPER DIVIDERS?

COVER/BOX CONDITION: VG+/VG IT WOULD BE A VG+ NORMALLY BUT A COUPLE OF THE CORNERS HAVE SPLIT BUT EVEN SO THE BOX IS NICE AND STRUDY, THE PICTURE ON THE COVER IS NICE AND BRIGHT AND HAS ONLY ONE SMALL SPOT OF PAPER LOSS (IN THE RED HEAIRED WOMENS HAIR) - THE BOX IS DARK RED OR CRIMSON (NOT BLACK) AND THE HINGE IS STRONG

ADDITIONAL INFO:   HAS THE E T TAX CODE ON LABEL. VERY NICE VINYL AND SOUNDS GREAT, NOT PERFECT BUT CLOSE TO IT. SINCE THE NM- COPIES SELL FOR @ $500 MINE WITH SOME LIGHT PAPER SCUFFS IS A STEAL AT A STARTING BID OF $70

PLEASE IGNORE ANY POSSIBLE GLARE IN THE COVER - IT WOULD BE JUST THE CAMERA FLASH.



ALL LPS HAVE VINYL KEPT IN THEIR PROTECTIVE INNER SLEEVE BUT TAKEN OUT OF COVER (TO STOP IT FROM SPLITTING) THEN WRAPPED IN A PLASTIC SLEEVE BEFORE BEING PACKED IN RIGID CARDBOARD FOR TRANSIT.

NM = Mint. No such thing really, unless its still sealed. or brand new, unplayed.
EX- = Excellent. Looks almost new. Possibly has one to two minors faults, and some evidence of having been played, with no audible defect.
VG+ = Very Good Plus. Has light scuffs and scratches but mostly inaudible. possibly can hear a bit of noise in quiet parts. Records with slight surface noise and/or scuffs fall into this category.
VG = Very Good. Has a bit more wear and tear, surface noise a bit more apparent, but still very listenable. Records in this category have more significant damage or wear.
VG- = More, distracting surface noise. Quite audible but good for singalongs etc ;-) Only used for rarites that you otherwise may not find.
G+ = Good Plus. Not really good, more like a dustbin lid, used really only for rarities and/or label fillers
