Description
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 some of the best until last.
Mint new old stock in an at least Near mint sleeve, shop sealed whilst unused but after quality check of ASHKENAZY in the Beethoven 28th & 30th Piano Sonatas in the audiophile 1977 Japanese King pressing of the UK SXL as part of the series "100 years of recorded music, where they included best examples of each era and style of classical music, so this was picked for the playing and the piano tone, as far as I can gather. The small handful of sealed Japan pressings I have are mainly like this one, in rounded bottom antistatic inners that are stored behind the outer sleeve in the sealed packet as the inner shape can split the seams. The creases visible in the rear pics are the inner, not marks on the vinyl (I can see this close up). A truly great Bach pairing in the soloist and conductor here. I have every recording of Bach that Malcolm made in my personal collection, all these Decca recordings being the stars of the show. I had the good fortune to meet him in Manchester in his later years, he ran a choir in a community centre, just for pleasure.
45 year old pressing is unplayed, quality checked and sealed in the shop in the 90s, from their backroom.price rating
