Description: Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition issue of a FIRST PRESSING with 5S / 6S stampers in the runout grooves and a classic RCA Victor Red Seal issue with the bright red Shaded Dog labels of a performance of the tone poem "Also Sprach Zarathustra" composed by RICHARD STRAUSS and performed by conductor FRITZ REINER and the CHICAGO SYMPHONY. The LP is on the RCA Victor Red Seal label with the serial number LM-2609, is a High Fidelity Mono and was made in the United States in 1962--it has the bright red "Shaded Dog" label and is a 1st Pressing with 5s / 6s stampers in the runout grooves. This record is in SUPERB condition and the vinyl is in NEAR MINT- condition and should play beautifully, with a couple of moderate scuffs and a few light paper scuffs that should not significantly affect play but NO other significant flaws; the cover is in NEAR MINT condition and in the ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINKWRAP with an opening edge opening and tiny tear on the upper tips and has slight dings on the tips but no other significant flaws--it's NOT a cutout! Please Note: I CAN ship records outside of the United States but will need to get a weight estimate based on the final PACKAGED weight for this record--I cannot ship for the $4.00 U.S. Media Rate, so please wait to make payment until a final invoice is received. Vinyl Grading Standards (unless otherwise indicated, LPs are visually graded) Mint (or M) – Sealed and effectively perfect with no signs of wear or ever having been played.Near Mint -- A record with only the slightest evidence of ever having been handled.Very Good Plus Plus (VG++) A very clean record that has no marks aside from slight scuffs and abrasions caused by removal from a paper inner sleeve or perhaps a few marks on the label caused by a turntable spindle.Very Good Plus (VG+) A record that has had a number of plays and may have some superficial scuffs, possibly mild to moderate spindle marks and / or possibly hairline scratches on the vinyl, which may produce some intermittent pops and possibly very light background noise.Very Good (VG) A record that has generally been well cared for, but has seen a fair amount of play, with some scuffing. hairline scratches, spindle marks and / or light scratches. Should play through well, with the possibility of more pops and more background noise.Very Good Minus (VG-) A record with significant scuffs, scratches, and spindle marks that should play through with moderate pops and surface noise, possibly of some duration.Good (G) A record with will play through, but with significant pops, substantial background noise, and possibly intermittent skipping.Poor (P) A record with MAJOR issues that will interfere with play, and will possibly be unplayable in part due to damage (I'll only offer an LP in this condition if it's an extreme rarity and / or for cover art display purposes). A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this vinyl LP! Thanks very much for looking, and good luck if you're bidding! Also be sure to check out all of my other records, Compact Discs, books, audiobooks, DVDs and Blu-Ray discs on ebay auctions--I can combine shipping for multiple purchases in any combination EXCEPT in the case of LPs (I can combine shipping for any number of LPs together, but due to packaging safety issues I CANNOT ship LPs together with CDs, books, audiobooks, DVDs and Blu-Ray discs).
