Recorded October 19, 1955
Rare German Pressing on Brunswick Label 86046 LP8
Heavy Vinyl, Deep Groove EP
NM 007 / 008 Pressing
The inner band markings are:
Side A 86046 A 33 M 007 Made in
Side B 86046 B 33 M 008 Made in
Vinyl – Near Mint (Visual grade Only – Not auditioned)
Labels – Mint
Cover – VG+
The vinyl is shiny and in outstanding visual condition. I have not played this record, so my ratings are visual.
The label is in perfect condition on both sides. The 67 year old cover is in remarkably good condition for its age. The seams are split and corners have some loss, but the face is very much intact save for a tear in the word Brunswick which may have been from a label removal (see photos).
My Process for handling records
This record has been cleaned using The Disc Doctor’s Miracle Record Cleaner, which is used by the Library of Congress and recommended by Mobile Fidelity, TAS, Stereophile, and Better Records.
1. Visual Inspection – discard any major flawed records
2. Remove static with ZeroStat
3. Brief treatment with Discwasher to remove surface dust
4. Complete wash and rinse Disc Doctor and RO water
5. Remove rinse with Nitty Gritty vacuum
6. Air dry in dust-free space
7. Place in new antistatic sleeve.
8. Stack LP, cover, and original liner in poly outer sleeve
I take every care with records I sell as I do with those I keep for my own use and enjoyment.
The sound ratings are based on audition on my Linn Sondek, with a Clear Audio Virtuoso Wood Cartridge, using Goldmine standard ratings as a reference.
