A little about this rare release on AUDIO LAB

"Back in the 1950s, when the name "Shura" and "piano" were spoken in the same sentence, the name "Shura Cherkassky" lept immediately to mind. Cherkassky was a world-renowned classical pianist. In 1956, King records hired a pop pianist who just went by the name "Shura" (a diminutive for Alexander), who recorded two quick albums for the label. The two albums on Audio Lab by "Shura" are reissues of those King albums, not albums by the more famous Shura Cherkassky."

1959 Reissue of King 395-511 (Love Is Here to Stay) minus two songs.

"HI-FI" MONO

Track list:
Story of Three Loves/Bells of St. Mary's/Love is Here To Stay/Hi Lili Hi Lo/Stella By Starlight/Story of a Starry Night/Dream Dust/Granada/Laura/Swedish Rhapsody

Condition:

VINYL: VG- maintaining almost all of its original gloss & good clean labels. The only mark that causes pop - but no skip, is a scratch on track 2, that can be felt with finger nail... Otherwise, this rare vinyl is in very good- condition, with minimal signs of wear

COVER: VG, Tanning and shelf wear. No marks or tape. Good color on the front. Top and bottom seams have splitting.

See pictures of actual item. 

Please note that my grading is VISUAL (not play graded). Some records may play better or worse than visual appearance...then again you know that; because you are a record collector too! Generally, my records will play even better than described...but returns are always accepted!
