Beethoven 9th symphony Furtwangler berlin 1st pre-melodia Akkord pressing yellow













I am proud to offer this Ultra rare item on ebay:

Beethoven 9th symphony. Wilhelm Furtwangler berlin philharmonic orchestra Tilla Brim, Peter Anders and Bruno Kittel Choir. recorded live in the Berlin Philharmonie 22(24) march 1942, 12(15) december 1943. This is the ultra rare 1st pre-melodia Akkord pressing on yellow labels from 1956. D-010851-4. On the 4th side: Brahms haydn variations.

This set comes in original akkord paper sleeves in 2 different desigs. The sleeves are in excellent condition, without tears and only mild creasing. The previous owner wrote the titles on the generic sleeve. The original inner sleeves are also included, and are also excelent.

The records are still in great shape, with clear and shiny vinyl. Only upon close inspection they reveal some light signs of use. All small inperfections are mentioned here. These small spots are hardly disturbing to the music.

Side 1 EX-, 1 small spot at 1cm results in about 20 hardly audible ticks, see last photo.

Side 2 EX+

Side 3 EX+

Side 4 EX, small spot gives 20 soft ticks (second last photo)

These records are better played with a mono cartridge. Please note that russian pressings are not always best quality and this is a wartime recording. This copy is probably better than any you can find, if you can find any.

Our principles:
  • Honest grading: no overrated grading!
  • Honest description: if we notice a defect, we will mention it. our photo's are of the actual item for sale. Photo's show the entire sleeve, inclusing edges. For more exclusive items, we add more photo's, including label and back side. We use high resolution photo's.
  • Trust: we trust our sellers and we hope you will trust us!

Grading:

  • M: never used. We don't use this grade unless the record is sealed
  • NM: Hardly any visible and no audible faults. 
  • EX: Record has obviously been used, but has no major audible faults, some non sounding marks possible, maybe some dirt or light surface noise (especially on older mono record, surface noise is quite normal) and a few random ticks. Sleeve has wear on edges and/ or ring wear and may be a bit dirty.
  • VG+: Light audible faults, ticks or surface noise. Sleeve may have some light damage (a small tear, seam split or dirt).
  • VG: record has scratches or other defects, but is still playable. Sleeve has tears, splits, or other damage.
Records are first graded visually. If we have doubts, we grade them on a VPI / clearaudio concerto. If not satisfied, please contact us before leaving negative feedback. Paying buyers will receive positive feedback.
