Description

EMI OASD 7603 Corroboree

TAS Super Disc List & Rare - Symphonic Ballet

This is fascinating and dynamic music & beautifully recorded. It is John Antill’s representation of a dance ceremony by Australian Aboriginals known as the Corroboree. Conducted by John Lanchbery.

The photos of the back cover text will tell you more and they should be readable, but let me know.

I once owned 72 lineal feet of mostly pristine LP’s, many played maybe once or not at all — I was collecting way too much! I pared down to a smaller collection after selling my state-of-the-art stereo system (VPI turntable / Graham tonearm / Benz Micro cartridge) 10 years ago. This record has been stored unplayed under ideal conditions since that disposal.

In a careful listening, I heard only 8 spots with a soft pop or “scratchy” sound in 46 minutes of play. They were not louder than the music itself (mostly less so) and never stood out and were not repetitive. A few were barely detected & a fresh cleaning may well eliminate some of them. Overall, this LP plays very nicely with less apparent surface noise than most LP’s and EMI’s in particular. All LP playback setups have different signal to noise characteristics so YMMV. I have no qualms representing this LP as excellent sounding overall. Don’t forget, this very unique music found its way onto HP’s coveted super disk list. It is a very special recording. Keep in mind however, that at age 72, I am no longer attuned to detecting minor wear and low level tics & pops, etc., if present. As a long time LP addict, I started behaving that way years ago :-)

The LP comes with a quality 6 mil outer sleeve over the jacket. When shipped the LP itself will be removed from its jacket to prevent tears & damage to the jacket.

If priority Mail is chosen as shipping option, the LP will be automatically insured.
