Description

MENDELSSOHN in Scotland - Symphony No 3 - "Scotch"   FINGAL"S CAVE 

vinyl LP on DECCA SXL2246  Uk  pressing   1960

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
