Description

1958 UK stereo pressing on Decca records of SXL 2020 Espania, Ataulfo Argenta conducting The London Symphony Orchestra. Label is grooved wide band. 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-3521-5E and ZAL-3522-4E. The date code on the back cover in the bottom left hand corner is A.W. 59.3.R.
Grading
Visually graded the vinyl under a task lamp. Would visually grade as Ex. There are spindle marks on both sides of the label. It plays well on my Linn Sondek, no skips or jumps. There is some crackle on both sides and some pops. I would grade Ex. Sleeve is in VG+. There is wear on top edge and bottom edge. 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
