DRESDNER KREUZCHOR (LP) Weihnachten Mit Dem DK. '74. Telefunken NT 366. VG+

Description: Here is a German Christmas holiday album by the Dresdner Kreuzchor (Dresden Choir) which was made in Germany, but here in Cleveland, Ohio as an import. It is a Boy's Choir from Dresden, Germany and they do concerts all over Germany. On Telefunken red label NT 366 Musik Fur Alle (Music For All). Stereo. I think this came out around 1974. This is more of a religious/classical/baroque/choral sound to the Christmas songs. No pop jingle type music. And hope you understand the German language. The album cover is in okay shape. It has the silky-type plastic on the cardboard like some European records have. Some of that plastic cover is starting to open up a tiny bit at the right middle section of the open sleeve area. Back cover has some small tears on that plastic at the top seam, but more on the bottom seam. Just a little darkening at the left side seam and top and bottom side seams on the back cover. No ringwear. I will include a white inner sleeve. Side 1 has a long surface scratch across 2 songs and several small light surface scratches in areas, but no sound problems. Side 2 has several surface scratches in places as you can see in the photos. You don't see the scratches in regular light, vinyl is still shiny. But in a bright direct light you see them. No skips or pops, but some areas you can hear light crackles here and there. Listen to the 1 minute 50-second audio/video here from my Technics system to hear the sound quality. Some crackles, but very light. I rate the cover sleeve as Very Good (VG). The vinyl is Very Good Plus (VG+) for sound, but maybe a Very Good (VG) only for physical look under a super bright light that shows surface scratches. ___________________________________________________________________________ Feel free to email me for more information on an item.

No writing or stickers on the vinyl. No obvious scratches. Label: No writing or stickers and no fading of the label. NM-: Near Mint Minus - Similar to NM but will have some very light scratches on the vinyl not affecting the sound quality. No writing or stickers on label and no fading (or ringwear) on cover or label. EX: Excellent - Not quite a Goldmine Standard Listing, but being used by many now. Cover: No ink wear, minor creases to corners, no seam tears. Vinyl can have scratches, but not felt by your fingers. Sound quality must be mint. No more than 15% of the surface should have wear or scuffs on it. To me, EX is like a VG++. VG+: Very Good Plus - Similar to NM- except that on the label, there may be a sticker or writing, but it shows very little wear. There may be only a couple light surface scratches on the grooves, but do not affect the playback with noise or skips. You may only see these scratches if you put them under a bright light and really look for them. The cover might have light creasing or minor seam or corner wear, but still in great condition to show off. VG to VG-: Very Good to Very Good Minus - May not be that shiny anymore and you will see scratches without putting it under a bright light, but they still would not affect the quality of the playback. The sound quality is still pretty good, maybe a little noise, but not enough to detract from the listening experience. The label might have some fading around it, besides having stickers or writing. The cover may have obvious ringwear in the middle or around the perimeter of where the record was, maybe some side seam splits, or little tears at the top or side where the record goes back into. If less defects, then it's a VG. If it has all this just mentioned, then a VG-. G, G+: Good or Good Plus - It doesn't mean the vinyl is trashed. It plays though without skipping, but may have heavy noise or fuzz sound because of age, quality, or worn-down grooves. Heavy writing or stickers on the label, ringwear is very obvious on label and cover probably has seam splits. But, amazingly, if you have special audio LP recording software, you could probably clean up those crackles and fuzzes, if you want to create a CD of it for yourself. P: Poor - This is when the vinyl is warped to the point it warps the playback also. Or it's cracked, but it may or may not still play without a skip. If a picture sleeve is with it, this is torn or marked up bigtime. But someone may want to have it for nostalgia or even attempt to fix it. See my other listings for more great items!
