Description
This is another sale from my collection of classical records, which includes early stereo rarities on Decca, Columbia, HMV and RCA.

The label has “Original Recording by” at 10 O’clock. Sleeve is a scalloped flip back sleeve, first blue back border sleeve. The matrix numbers engraved on the run-out are ZAL-3805-3E and ZAL-3806-3E. The date code on the back cover in the bottom right hand corner is B & M 58.08.
Grading
Visually graded the vinyl under a task lamp. Would visually grade side 1 as VG+. There are a few light scratches and some spindle marks on the label. Side 2 is visually Ex. It plays well on my Linn Sondek, no skips or jumps. There is some crackle on both sides and some pops. So I would grade VG+. Sleeve is in VG. There is wear on top edge, bottom edge and opening. There is damage to bottom right corner. Similar on rear sleeve. Some wear on flip backs and opening. The laminate has lifted in places. I have tried my best to show all these things on the photos.
Note that record will be posted in a cardboard record mailer. Sleeve will be in a plastic sleeve, separate from the record and inner sleeve. Record and inner sleeve will be in a card sleeve.
Finally, please note that the posting costs will be as follows
