Vinyl: Leonid Kogan Brahms Violin Kondrashin 33CX 1692 Blue Gold 1st VG+/EX

Record Details

I am clearing out my classical music record collection and will be listing several hundred records over the next few months. This is my own personal collection which come from a smoke free home.

Each record and its cover are graded in line with the record collector grading system as noted below. Each record has been play tested prior to listing. The photographs included are actual photographs of the record and cover. Please look closely at them and if you have any queries please email me and I will try and respond as quickly as I can.

This VERY RARE & COLLECTABLE RECORD is an ORIGINAL UK COLUMBIA PRESSING ON THE DARK BLUE LABEL WITH GOLD LETTERING FIRST PRESS MONO

Visually the vinyl is in Excellent condition with a few minor marks. Soundwise the record is in excellent condition with a couple of minor pops but the sound . The cover is in Very good + condition with the laminate lifting slightly at the edges of the entrance to the sleeve - see photos. The labels are nice and clean. The record has been played on my Rega P6 with a Goldring 2400 cartridge to ensure an accurate grading is given. I have not guessed at the grading based on a visual inspection. There are no defects in the sound quality. The audio is strong and clear throughout both sides of the record.

The grading outline i am using is given below for reference. As someone who collects records I have attempted to be as honest as possible in deciding on the grading of the cover and the actual vinyl.

Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
