IMMACULATE SEALED , NOT TO BE MISSED !

This is the long out of print Classic Records audiophile reissue of the famous album titled "The Royal Ballet - Gala Performances" (RCA Soria LDS 6065-45).
It consists of 9 SINGLE SIDED 45 RPM RECORDS, PRESSED ON 200 GRAM VINYL, SV-P II HANDMADE !
They are packaged in a beautiful black and gold, heavy box.

The Royal Ballet has historically been the most highly sought after of the RCA Living Stereo releases. Recorded in Kingsway Hall by the legendary Kenneth Wilkinson, this title features selections from The Nutcracker Suite, Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty among others.
The performances are conducted by Ernest Ansermet directing the Royal Opera House Orchestra and the sonics are incomparable.

The result is a sound that is as close as you can get to the original master tapes !

Mastered by Bernie Grundman himself using the first generation 3-track UK Decca/RCA Living Stereo master tapes.
Meticulously and loving pressed on Super Vinyl-Profile (SV-P II) virgin vinyl.
This half-speed mastered 45 RPM 9-LP deluxe box set achieved sound quality that virtually every leading audiophile critic ranked better (by far) than the Soria box .
Classic Records used a proprietary 200 gram vinyl that guaranteed virtually no surface noise and sonically superior dinamics.
