Description
ALBENIZ : IBERIA / TURINA : DANZAS FANTASTICAS - L'ORCHESTRE DE LA SUISSE ROMANDE, CONDUCTED BY ERNEST ANSERMET
EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL AUSTRALIA STEREO RELEASE, c1960, VINYL LP (SXLA 2243) RELEASED IN FRONT-LAMINATED St. James Press, LONDON FLIPBACK COVER WITH ARC CUTOUTS (SXL 2243) - "PRINTED IN ENGLAND" ON BACK (SEE PIC. #3). IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME COVER AS THE 1960 UK 1ST EDITION RELEASE.
BOTTOM OF BACK COVER HAS :
"THE DECCA RECORD COMPANY LIMITED LONDON, ENGLAND" BELOW THE BLACK BOXED DECCA LOGO
"Printed in England. St. James Press, London, S.E.1." ON LEFT &
"Laminated with 'Clarifoil' made by British Celanese Limited" on right.
IT WAS COMMON FOR EMI / DECCA RECORDS TO USE THEIR ENGLISH COVERS FOR AUSTRALIAN RELEASES IN THE LATE '50s / EARLY '60s. PERHAPS WE CAN NOW RETURN IT TO ITS RIGHTFUL HOME AFTER 56 YEARS !!??
RECORD PRESSED IN AUSTRALIA BY E.M.I. (AUSTRALIA) LIMITED, A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF ELECTRIC AND MUSICAL INDUSTRIES LTD. (EMI)*, AND AUSTRALIAN DISTRIBUTOR FOR THE DECCA RECORD COMPANY LIMITED, LONDON, ENGLAND AT THAT TIME.
*Electric and Musical Industries Ltd was formed in March 1931 by the merger of the US-based Columbia Graphophone Company with the British-based Gramophone Company and the formerly German-owned Parlophone Company, with its "His Master's Voice" record label, (firms that have a history extending back to the origins of recorded sound) into a new Anglo-American group which was incorporated as Electric & Music Industries (EMI) Ltd. On 12 November 1931, Sir Edward Elgar opened the new EMI Recording Studios at Abbey Road, St John's Wood, London.
THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN FEWER OF THIS RELEASE PRESSED IN AUSTRALIA THAN THE ENGLISH PRESSING (SLX 2243) AS AUSTRALIA WAS A MUCH SMALLER MARKET. VERY FEW WOULD HAVE SURVIVED THE LAST 50+ YEARS, LET ALONE IN SUCH NICE SHAPE AS THIS ONE.
THE RECORD IS PRESSED ON VINYL WITH A GROOVE GUARD LIP, NOT FLAT-EDGED AS WAS THE UK RELEASE. IT MAY HAVE BEEN PRESED A LITTLE LATER THAN THE UK EQUIVALENT AS GROOVE GUARD WAS GENERALLY INTRODUCED IN AUSTRALIA IN 1962.
