This listing of records is graded according to the following system:
ADDITIONAL CODES USED IN THIS LIST: OP = Out of print CD; AS = also issued in genuine stereo; BJ = blank jacket; COH = cut-out hole in jacket; D = digital recording; Df = Dynaflex (thin) pressing; EAR = early pressing; EP = English pressing; F = fake stereo; FOT = few odd ticks; LSM = harmless light surface marks; PB = pressing bubble(s); Q = quad; S = stereo; SD = "shaded dog" label; FS = Factory Sealed; TE = "thrift edition" (no program notes); WD = "white dog" label; x = light scratch. OP. = Out of print CD
Any other defects will be described in detail. We do not knowingly sell records which will not track properly. No ratings can guarantee quiet surfaces unless the original pressing had them. Condition ratings apply to the records only; wear or damage on the jackets are described only when they are severe.

Sound quality varies on these releases, but we have found (and our customers have told us) that overall the sound is perfectly acceptable given the rarity of many of the performances. Items from later dates are uniformly fine. |

Orders may be stockpiled to reduce shipping charges. Airmail rates will be quoted on request. We also offer DHL air shipments overseas, but they are VERY expensive (ask for rates). We must have a phone or fax number for DHL shipments. We guarantee receipt of all records in satisfactory condition. Parnassus and the US Postal Service are liable only for the declared, insured value of packages. Foreign customers, especially those buying few items, may wish to pay for them and have us HOLD them until a more economical package can be made. We are happy to provide this stockpiling service for any customer. Please just ask. Some customers have asked about the higher shipping charges. The reason for the odd formulas is that the US Postal Service now starts the overseas insurable parcel post rates at 5 lbs. |
