ATTENTION 1960s STEREO DECCA WIDEBAND CLASSICAL ALBUMS COLLECTORS!

HERE IS ONE OF DECCA'S FINEST CLASSICAL STEREO ALBUMS ISSUED IN 1961 WITH  THE "ORIGINAL RECORDING" AND "MADE IN ENGLAND" RIM TEXT AND THE ORIGINAL "FFSS" STEREOPHONIC POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE!

GEORGE SZELL conducts 

THE LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA  in 

HANDEL:"SUITE FROM THE WATER MUSIC" and "SUITE FROM THE ROYAL FIREWORKS MUSIC" and "LARGO"FROM XERVES and "MINUET" FROM THE FAITHFUL SHEPHERD.

A WORLD FAMOUS RECORDING WITH DECCA'S BRILLIANT MASTERING AND USE OF THE STEREO IMAGE.THE PERFORMANCES ARE SOME OF THE BEST FOR THIS MUSIC. 

DECCA SXL 2302 WITH 2E/2E MATRIXES.

 IT ONLY TURNS UP ONCE IN A BLUE MOON IN SUCH LOVELY CONDITION! THIS ONE HAS GLEAMING SURFACES-JUST ONE ULTRA TINY AND FAINT SURFACE MARK IN VERY STRONG LIGHT,A LITTLE FAINT SURFACE CRACKLE/NOISE AT THE VERY START OF EACH SIDE(HARDLY NOTICABLE), A COUPLE OF ISOLATED "POPS" AT QUIETER PASSAGES BUT NOT TOO OBTRUSIVE.IT PLAYS NICELY WITH CLEAR SOUND  HAVING LISTENED TO IT AT HIGH VOLUME TWICE! LOVELY CLEAN LABELS-NO SPINDLE WEAR. SHARP PRINTING-NO LABEL WRITING,RIPS,STAINS ETC.  THICK UK PRESSED VINYL.  STRICTLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT++++ CONDITION. MOST WOULD STATE NEAR MINT CONDITION! NO HORRIBLE LOUD SWISHES,NO STICKS OR JUMPS! GREAT SOUND! FAR BETTER THAN MOST STEREO LPs OF 53 YEARS AGO AND OF COURSE MOST CLASSICAL BUYERS WHO COULD AFFORD THIS LP,PLAYED IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN! THIS COPY HAS BEEN CHERISHED AND WELL CARED FOR WITH NOT MANY PLAYS! PLENTY OF BASS! THERE IS STILL THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT POLYLINED FFSS INNER SLEEVE AS SUPPLIED IN 1961 WITH THE "FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING"CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE EARLIEST EVER PRINTED FOR THIS LP.  THERE WAS MINIMAL SALES FOR THIS STEREO EDITION OF THIS LP ISSUED AT A TIME WHEN HARDLY ANY BRITISH BUYERS HAD EQUIPMENT TO PLAY STEREO LPs! REMEMBER THAT THE EARLY 1960s STEREO LPs AND EQUIPMENT WERE VERY EXPENSIVE-MOST BUYERS PURCHASED MONO UNTIL THE END OF THE 1960s. 

AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS,THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER+THE FLIPBACK IS VERY CLEAN WITH JUST A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES-SOME LAMINATION "STRETCH LINES" THAT LOOK LIKE CREASES BUT NO RIPS,WRITING OR REPAIRS! 

PLEASE SEE ALL OF THE PHOTOS!

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

  A LOW REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE BUT BE PREPARED FOR KEEN BIDDING ON THIS RARE LP.

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!!!!
