Description
Sealed ED1 Decca SXL 6818 Mendelssohn 1st & 5th Dohnanyi VPO. New Old Stock of this quality late album in the 6000 series that is soon replaced by the SXDL 7500 series that I am mainly listing. One of the last recordings in the series of the magnificent Vienna Phil, who are as great as usual, I have this album in my own collection, and it's one of my favourite Mendelssohn lps. About 20 years ago I bought the complete backroom vinyl stock of a Hi Fi shop that was closing down. These were mainly well reviewed classical lps in their full priced versions, many first pressings from the 70s to the 1990s. I am now listing some of the sealed examples for the first time. These were quality control checked in the shop and then sealed in house for eventual sale, and those I have had for myself are all pristine and unmarked, flat and not off centre, playing perfectly, so were not the demonstration stock. They are mainly the late vinyl Decca's, plus some Phillips and EMI, so I have saved the best until last. All of these late 70s onwards Decca lps are made for high end cartridges, best suited to an Elliptical or better tip. There's no point in trying to play these with a cheap old conical, it might struggle. High end moving coils, hyper ellipticals and line contact and similar variants really sing with these superbly mastered full range beauties.
