PERFORMED BY L'ORCHESTRE DE LA SUISSE ROMANDE, CONDUCTED BY ERNEST ANSERMET.
THIS IS AN FIRST EDITION WITH THE SCALLOPED FLIP-BACK COVER WITH BLUE BORDERS. THE LABELS SHOW ' ORIGINAL RECORDING BY ' AT TEN O' CLOCK ON BOTH LABELS.
THE DISC IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND PLAYS THROUGH BEAUTIFULLY, DOING JUSTICE TO THIS WONDERFUL RECORDING. THERE IS JUST THE SLIGHTEST LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND CRACKLE IN PLACES AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT POP BUT NOTHING TO DETRACT FROM A GREAT AUDIO .
THE COVER LETS IT DOWN A LITTLE WITH A PIECE MISSING FROM THE FRONT TOP RIGHT CORNER.. THERE IS SOME LAMINATE FLAKING ON THE FRONT AT THE OPENING EDGE AS WELL AS SOME RUBBING TO THE SPINE, OTHERWISE GOOD CONDITION.
THE ORIGINAL POLY-LINED FULL FREQUENCY STEREO SOUND INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT UNDAMAGED CONDITION.
