Columbia SAX 2282 1st B/s ~ NM! ~ FOURNIER ~ Schumann, Tchaikovsky ~ Archive copy!

First Blue/silver labels. From the personal archive of a former record shop owner.

VINYL, visual grading: Near Mint, it looks unplayed!

As I don't have my own professional cleaning equipment, I consider (and recommend) this to the buyer. In my experience many records easily gain a grade with professional cleaning.

For detailed information regarding my grading, see below.

SLEEVE: The sleeve has some liftening laminate, and a tear in the opening.

LABELS: NM.

Please also look at the detailed photos.

No reserve.

Important information regarding Paypal invoices!

Paypal payments in any other currency than SEK will be refused!

Please ignore all automatically-generated invoices sent by eBay, and do not check out automatically. My Paypal account is set to Swedish krona (SEK) so please do NOT pay using Paypal until you get an invoice from me. All sums in the invoice have then been converted into SEK by use of the eBay Currency converter at
.

The invoice will be sent to the email address you have registered at PayPal. Since eBay no longer provide that address to the seller after the completed auction I will contact you through the eBay message service. The buyer is encouraged to check my credentials with the Ebay customer service, who will tell that this is a normal procedure for PayPal users in Sweden.

You can pay directly from the invoice, or log in to your Paypal account and pay it from there. The eBay Money Back Guarantee is always valid as long as you pay with Paypal, see
.

Grading

For the three highest grades the records are visually graded. If I have had any doubts about the visual grading, or if a bidder asks for it, I will also play grade the record. I assume all records need cleaning and leave that to the buyer.

M: Mint. I only use this grade when a record is sealed.
NM: Near Mint. I won't grade any unsealed vinyl higher than this. The vinyl looks unplayed, but there might be surface marks from the inner sleeve, and there might be a few light spindle marks present on the labels.
NM-: Not quite Near Mint, has cosmetic flaws but should play NM.

For the following grades at least a part of each record (if not both sides in their entirety) has been play graded:

VG++: Excellent. Looks unflawed but not new; sound is fine.
VG+: Has cosmetic flaws, mild surface noise or short patches of ticking, but sound fine overall.
VG: Has moderate noise throughout or one or two bad patches from scratches.

Where a record is scratched or noisy I often enclose a sound clip.

Finally

In case you don't agree with my grading or have any other issue with my listing, please contact me and we shall work it out. I will give full refunds (item price + shipping costs), however the shipping costs for sending the item back is for the buyer unless I have made a significant mistake.
