DECCA SXL 2009 (ED1) 1958 FIRST PRESS WIDE BAND DEEP GROOVE STEREO LP BERLIOZ SYMPHONIE FANTASTIQUE
Sleeve Condition: Vg+: There is significant laminate peeling with about a third of it gone from the front of the sleeve. Otherwise, the sleeve is in Ex condition, free from stickers, tears, significant creasing, writing or previous ownership marking.
Record Condition: VG: Some background ‘shh’ and crackle present to some degree throughout which is noticeable particularly in quiet passages. There are also one or two superficial handling marks which do not sound. The music is loud and clear and plays without a trace of peaking or distortion.
A compromised copy of a scarce record which though noisy is still a fine example of 1950’s stereo technology.
Please note that shipping for non UK delivery includes Signed For and Tracked delivery. Please bear this in mind when assessing costs. I will of course, combine shipping for multiple LPs at £2 per LP or cost by additional weight, whichever is cheaper.
