Description
This is an auction for a very rare LP, Berlioz, Symphonie Fantastique, Ataulfo Argenta, The Paris Conservatoire Orchestra.
This was released by Decca Records in 1958 and has catalogue number SXL2009. This is the 1st press with a Black label and Silver lettering. A deep circular groove runs around the label. 'Original Recording By The Decca Record Co. Ltd. London' is printed around the top half of the label. The Decca logo also printed in silver is in large letters. This also has the FFSS circular logo printed above the words 'Full Frequency Stereophonic Sound' which is printed on a 1cm silver band running full width across the label.
This label is known by the abbreviated term WBg ( Wide Band Grooved ), it is also sometimes referred to as 'EDI' ( English Decca 1st Label ) and indicates that this was pressed pre-1963.
Condition: The flipback sleeve has some buffing to the corners and in a few places along the edges. A few small lamination creases again by the edges. The rear has some discolour marks, some of which will clean off the laminated surface. This has no tears, bends, flipback edges fine, lamination at mouth fine. The sleeve is complete and graded at VG+. Please check the pictures on supersize for further clarification on condition.
Included is the original Decca FFRR inner sleeve. ( Pictured Below On SS )
Labels: Side 1 is immaculate and as new, under the closest of examinations perhaps one or two tiny spider spindle trails can be seen. The centre hole is perfect and shows no sign of wear. ( Pictured Below On SS )
Side 2 label is immaculate and as new. Under very close examination one long spider spindle trail can be traced from the centre hole. Looks as though it's been played once or twice only and that the previous owner could not find the spindle when placing the record. The centre hole is perfect with no sign of wear. ( Pictured Below On SS )
Vinyl: Both sides are immaculate and brand new, they both retain that brand new rainbow shine. Under the strongest of lights I can't see any marks, scratches or blemishes whatsoever. This plays perfectly both sides, no pops, crackles, feckling or surface noise of any knid. You can not find this in any better condition. No doubt played once or twice only.
The vinyl for this is graded at MINT. You will not find this vinyl in any better condition, a stunning collectable.
