Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition  Vinyl Record issued which is a TOP COPY of an EXTREMELY RARE and hard to find album and FIRST PRESSING made in GREAT BRITAIN in 1961 on the Columbia Records label with the serial number 33 CX 1744 (there is NO 1st Pressing SAX series 1st Pressing Stereo issue of this LP) and featuring brilliant performances of the Violin Concerto No. 5 in G Major, K.216 composed by WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART and the Violin Concerto in E Minor, Opus 64 composed by FELIX MENDELSSOHN--the performances are by violinist LEONID KOGAN who is accompanied by the PARIS CONSERVATOIRE ORCHESTRA (Orchestre de la Societe des Concerts du Conservatoire) conducted by CONSTANTIN SILVESTRI.  The LP is on the Columbia Records label with the serial number 33 CX 1744 with a "flipback" cover issued in 1961 and a high-fidelity MONO issue (there is NO true stereo SAX series version of this recording) made in the United Kingdom.
This LP is in SUPERB condition and the vinyl is in NEAR MINT condition on side one and in virtually FLAWLESS shape with NO significant imperfections, and in NEAR MINT- (Ex) condition on side two with just a few light paper scuffs that do not significantly affect play--THIS LP HAS BEEN SOUND GRADED IN ITS ENTIRETY and sounds fantastic, with beautiful sound and just three or four instances isolsted and nonintrusive tics heard (typical of even much new vinyl) but no other flaws; the cover is also in NEAR MINT condition with beautiful surfaces, a VERY slight ding and 1/4 inch split on the lower opening edge, a very slight ding on the upper left spine tip, a VERY slight thumb crease on the center right of the front surface, a copule of very slight creases on the spine edge and a couple of tiny dings in the lamination on the lower edge but just very slight shelfwear otherwise but NO other significant flaws--it's NOT a cutout!  The ORIGINAL UK COLUMBIA INNER SLEEVE is also included and in beautiful shape! 
This is a beautiful copy of an EXTREMELY RARE and hard to find classical LP, and insurance will be provided when shipping.

Good (G) A record with will play through, but with significant pops, substantial background noise, and possibly intermittent skipping.
