Description

COLUMBIA SAX 2503   CALLAS A PARIS 

COLUMBIA STEREO  First Issue  turquoise/silver label  UK orig. 1963 


I have acquired a large classical collection of wonderful recordings from a very keen and dedicated collector.

They are all mostly from the late 50s to mid 60s - Something of a Golden Age in Classical recording


All records are inspected very carefully and Gradings are based on Record Collector magazine.

I try to only offer recordings in a minimum of excellent Condition unless it is something particularly

 rare when I will do my best to describe any visual or audible flaws
