THIS COPY HAS BEEN CHERISHED AND WELL CARED FOR WITH NOT MANY PLAYS! PLENTY OF BASS! THERE IS STILL THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT INNER SLEEVE AS SUPPLIED IN 1961.THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER HAS A LITTLE WRITING AT THE BACK,A FEW SMALL CREASES AND SOME SLIGHT STAINING BUT NO RIPS OR REPAIRS.

HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO OWN A GENUINE PIECE OF CLASSICAL MUSIC HISTORY!

  A LOW REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE.

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

SHARP,CLEAN LABELS!   

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
