Brahms Violin Concerto 
Leonid Kogan Philharmonia Conservatoire Orchestra Kyril Kondrashin 
Leonid Kogan with the Philharmonia Conservatoire Orchestra conducted by Kyril Kondrashin performs the Brahms “Violin Concerto”. 
An English stereo pressing on the Columbia Label (SAX 2307 Stampers YAX 303-4 / YAX 304-11)Labels are blue/green with silver border and “radio waves”, deep groove, and black Columbia and stereo flash with magic note logo. 

Vinyl: The record has a one surface hairline that has NO affect on the sound. Otherwise the record is NM and plays and sound superb with NO surface noise, pops, clicks or distortion. Absolutly stunning sound. So visually EX, listening grading NM. 
Cover: The cover has a perfect front, and slightly yellowed back. The corners are slightly worn, and there's a few mm split by opening bottom. Spine and edges almost perfect. I would rate the cover as EX, or maybe even NM. Please look at the pictures. With grading being a subjective matter pictures are an objective way to evaluate for yourself. 

Original inner sleeve. 

All records visually graded. When in doubt, Play-graded on on a modified/restored Thorens TD-124 with SME 3012 and Ortofon SPU Meister.  Sound of mono vinyl will improve when played with a proper mono cartridge, I recommend Ortofon A or C.

For any items, small or big, I will spend all the time needed to insure adequate packaging. I try to be environmentally friendly and re use as much packaging as possible. 
Shipping is not 4 dollars to USA but 22. Please wait for invoice until payment.
Packages will be sent registered. 
All records are packaged outside their sleeve in a protective plastic. The same goes for printed inner sleeves. I use very heavy boxes with dimensions to protect corners. I want you to recieve records as I want them to be sent to me. 
I ship regular, registred mail, at cost. Postage is unfortunately expensive. Express, UPS and DHL are available with special agreement - please contact me. 
Please understand that I cannot be held responsible for any delays caused by shipping companies, or any other issues once a record leaves me. If you want special instructions as for insurance value, customs declaration etc, I will do my best to service. 
Also understand that I cannot be held responsible for any additional cost (customs, duty, VAT...) caused by your country's regulation. 
However, I will make the best effort to make your transaction easy and positive.
If you have any issues upon receiving the vinyl please get in contact with me first before leaving negative feedback and I will take care of them for you.

About me
Im a long time collector always evolving and keeping my collection relevant to my tastes. I am also picking up records I believe someone else may appreciate. When you buy from me, you are buying from someone who care about the music as much as you do.
I have an extensive collection, and are allways looking for a few special items. I am more than interested in trading. So if you have spare jazz, especially Spiritual, European to the freer side and elusive Blue Notes/New Jazz etc, please let me know. I am also interested in some soul and some Psychedelics and Kraut.
