Description
BEETHOVEN / ANSERMET / L'ORCHESTRE DE LA SUISSE ROMANDE - " SYMPHONY NO.5 / EGMONT OVERTURE ", The Decca Record Company Ltd. (SXL 2003) Stereo, 1958.
Very rare, early pressing, English stereo LP.
The wideband, grooved label design with the "Original Recording By" label text distinguish this early UK issue.
Professionally cleaned on my Moth record cleaning machine and put in a fresh poly-lined inner sleeve. The previous one has also been retained for the auction - I'm not sure it's original, but the previous owner's notes on it speak volumes of the kind of person who owned and cared for this record - see photos.
CONDITION:
VINYL = EXCELLENT CONDITION (No proper/deep scratches, no excessive surface noise or wear, no groove damage or distortion, etc. Very clean labels with only the lightest of spindle trails. This record has clearly only ever had very light use and been very well cared for throughout it's lifetime. Under a bright grading lamp there are a couple of light paper scuffs and minute, purely cosmetic visual imperfections - naturally these do not sound on playback. In fact, this record plays beautifully - strong, clear, free from unwanted interuptions and the music is as vibrant as ever. Being ultra critical, I heard the odd slight soft background crackle in the silent sections and run-in... but we're talking miniscule imperfections in the original pressing rather than wear or damage!)
This LP was tested for sale on my Linn Sondek LP-12 record player - this is generally a very critical test and fit for purpose, but please take into account that I cannot guarantee exactly how this record will sound on every bidder's own hifi.
SLEEVE = EX- (No big rips, big creases, seam splits or defacing. But it has been marked down for some tiny bubbles and creases in the laminate, light wear to edges and corners and the rear isn't quite as clean or white as it once was - see photos for more info)
NOTE: before bidding, please take the time to carefully read my condition descriptions and then place your max bids accordingly. If you do have any additional queries, please try to ask me any questions well before the end of the auction and I will endeavour to answer/help out.
This LP will be well packed and posted via a Signed-For service.
