NATHAN MILSTEIN / ARTUR BALSAM

"Beethoven: Sonata No. 9 In A Major, Op. 47 ("Kreutzer") / Sonata No. 8 In G Major, Op. 30, No. 3"

PAO-8430 Capitol FDS Full Dimensional Sound US Mono EX 

Vinyl: Vinyl is VG++/EX all around with clean center labels, no spindle markings. Would grade this NM, but there is one extremely small pressing bubble on Side 2, Track 2 which you can see in my photo - I play tested this section and the mark did not disturb the playback in any way (using a vintage, but excellent condition Shure V15 stylus, not a high-end cart compared to what a lot of classical collectors use but worth mentioning).

Matrix numbers, which can also be seen pretty well in my photos:

Side 1 - PAO-1-8430-D3 " ⌂ (⌂ = Scranton "anvil/lathe" symbol)

Side 2 - PAO 2-8430-D6 " ⌂

Sleeve: VG+, downgraded due to a small opening split on the top right of cover (see photo), and an even smaller (less than .25") beginning of a split on the bottom side of the opening.

Otherwise excellent condition, with minimal shelf/ring wear and no splits along spine, minimal corner rubbing on other corners.

Original paper inner sleeve included, some light creasing but no serious damage, included a couple photos of that as well.

Additional Description: This was reportedly purchased by the previous owner from the estate of a Capitol Records employee who worked there in the mid-late 1950s and the 1960s. I purchased it a couple years ago from a record dealer, and it has been stored vertically on my shelf at home for a couple years.

------------------------------

I am a record collector selling off some pieces of my collection in an effort to downsize and make a bit of extra money.

I have worked in the record business and am I strict, conservative grader. I will highlight any issue or notable aspects of each LP or 45 I'm selling in the descriptions above. I'm looking forward to sending some choice records to new homes,

On some higher-end LPs I've opted for USPS Priority Mail over Media Mail.

All records securely packed in sturdy cardboard mailers with LP outside jacket in a plastic outer sleeve.

Please contact me if ever there is an issue with your purchase and I will correct it to your satisfaction.

Please note that liability for loss or nondelivery of any order that either shows that the item has been delivered or that has left the U.S. border is solely with the buyer.

Thank you!
