SO FINALLY HERE`S WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR:

ARTIST: JOHANNA MARTZY  violin

                              &

            JEAN ANTONIETTI  piano

TITLE: PIANO & VIOLIN SONATAS

                             by

          LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN

                                &

          WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART

LABEL: DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON GES.

          18075 LPM (mono,there were no stereo`s)

COUNTRY: GERMANY

YEAR: 1953

CONDITION:

COVER: UNLAMINATED INSIDE OPENING GATEFOLD WITH THREAD-STITCHED SEAMS (dated 8.53). ONLY LIGHT WEAR ALONG EDGES;TOP OF SPINE HAS A SMALL DAMAGE; ULTRAMILD RINGWEAR; YELLOWING/BROWNING ( not dirtying ) OF AGE. VERY NICE AND PRESENTABLE COVER! I`VE MADE DOZENS OF PICTURES TO LET YOU HAVE A CLOSE LOOK AT WHAT YOU GET see below... OUTSIDE COVER VG(+) , INSIDE GATEFOLD AND POLY-LINED RECORD-HOUSING EXCELLENT 

VINYL VISUAL: THICK HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL (200 gram)

SIDE 1 FEW SLEEVE REMOVAL TRACES. EXCELLENTminus 

SIDE 2 HAS AN ULTRAFAINT UNFEELABLE HAIRLINE ON FIRST TRACK AND A TINY (2mm) FEELABLE SCRATCH AT THE VERY END OF LAST TRACK (i have tried to capture these in 2 of the pics),OTHERWISE AS SIDE 1.

DATE STAMP 21.10.52  IN THE RUN-OUT AREA OF BOTH SIDES

STAMPERS:  SIDE 1: "031486 WN"  ; "18075 A" ; "MADE IN GERMANY"  &  "H" (beneath date stamp)

see pics...

VINYL AUDIO: VINYL CLEANED ON A "CLEARAUDIO DOUBLE-MATRIX" CLEANING MACHINE AT A HIGH-END SHOP OF A FRIEND OF MINE; THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS MACHINE WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO GIVE AN EXTENSIVE CLEANING,SO I HAD ONLY POSSIBILITY FOR A VERY VERY SHORT CLEANING..I THEN PLAYED THE RECORD RIGHT THERE ON A BRAND NEW  "REGA P 3/24" -TURNTABLE WITH MOUNTED BRAND NEW "REGA EXACT"-STYLUS (1.75gr) IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER TOP-NOTCH HIGH-END EQUIPMENT...THE RESULT WAS SIMPLY... GREAT!! VERY HIGHLY ENJOYABLE! THE RECORD PLAYED WITH ONLY VERY LIGHT UNINTRUSIVE CRACKLING IN PLACES. FEW ODD VERY LIGHT TICS/POPS. THE SOUND IS CRISP & CLEAR NO GROOVEWEAR .MENTIONED HAIRLINE INAUDIBLE; SCRATCH PRODUCES 7 LIGHT CLICKS AT THE VERY END OF LAST TRACK OF 2nd SIDE. AUDIO GRADED AT VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) to NEAR TO EXCELLENT (EXminus) to be safe  (except for the scratch at end of side 2). I THINK THAT,AFTER ANOTHER,MORE EXTENSIVE PRO-CLEANING,QUITE A BIT OF THE REMAINING CRACKLING SHOULD DISAPPEAR!

HOME AGAIN,I PLAYED IT ON MY  AVERAGE HI-FI EQUIPMENT (TECHNICS SL 1210 MK 2 with mounted ORTOFON ARKIV); EXPECTINGLY IT PLAYED WITH A LITTLE MORE CRACKLING GRADING AT VG to VG+ (still VERY enjoyable!!)

YOU SEE, AUDIO RESULT HIGHLY DEPENDS ON THE EQUIPMENT (especially the kind of stylus) WHICH IS USED FOR PLAYING YOUR RECORD. HIGH-END COMPONENTS MOST LIKELY WILL GIVE BETTER AUDIO RESULTS THAN MORE COMMON EQUIPMENT 

OTHER: ORIGINAL DGG LEAFLET ABOUT HOW TO PLAY RECORDS. NEAR MINT see pics...

LABELS EXCELLENT ONLY VERY FEW SPINDLE TRACES see pics

SUMMARY / EXTRA INFO`S: ONE OF THE RAREST AND MOST SOUGHT-AFTER CLASSICAL RECORDS IN VERY NICE PRESENTABLE AND HIGHLY ENJOYABLE SHAPE! DON`T MISS THIS VERY RARE OPPORTUNITY TO GRAB A TRUE ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING OF THIS ULTRA-RARITY! HARDLY EVER COMES UP FOR SALE...GOOD LUCK!
