(1959 COLUMBIA RECORDS - UK STEREO FIRST PRESSING!!)

ON OFFER HERE IS A RARE UK STEREO FIRST PRESSING OF THIS MAGNIFICENT ALBUM 'SONGS YOU LOVE' FEATURING THE VOICE OF ELISABETH SCHWARZKOPF AND GERALD MOORE ON PIANO. THIS IS A GENUINE, ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING WITH BLUE & SILVER COLUMBIA LABELS.

THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS COLUMBIA SAX 2265

THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE YAX-102-5 / YAX-103-13

THE SLEEVE

THE FULLY LAMINATED SLEEVE, WITH TWO REAR FLIP-BACKS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR AND SOME RUBBING AT THE CORNERS. THERE IS SOME LIGHT TANNING TO THE BACK. THE GOLD & RED 'EMI STEREOPHONIC RECORDING' STICKER IS STILL NEATLY IN PLACE ON THE FRONT. THERE ARE NO SPLITS AND NO TEARS. THE OPENING IS SLIGHTLY FLARED BUT NOT FEATHERED. THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE TEXT ON THE VERY NARROW SPINE IS ALL FULLY LEGIBLE.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY MARKS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED THIS CLASSIC LP AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THIS RECORD STILL PLAYS VERY WELL AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT. I ONLY NOTED SOME VERY SLIGHT & VERY OCCASIONAL BACKGROUND NOISE AND THE ODD LIGHT TICK & POP.

THE LABELS

THE BEAUTIFUL BLUE & SILVER COLUMBIA LABELS ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH NO SPINDLE MARKS.

ALL RECORDS ARE REMOVED FROM ANY PICTURE SLEEVE TO PREVENT KNIFING. I DO NOT USE 'ENVELOPE STYLE' MAILERS. INSTEAD I USE SPECIAL MAILERS DESIGNED TO PROTECT YOUR RECORDS AND ENSURE SAFE ARRIVAL.

I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS RECORD STRICTLY ACCORDING TO RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEMS SO THERE WILL BE NO NASTY SURPRISES FOR THE WINNING BIDDER. THIS RECORD HAS BEEN CAREFULLY VISUALLY & FULLY PLAY-GRADED.
