Julius Katchen, piano ...

rare UK first press vinyl 8LP set released 1964-1966 on black/silver wideband grooved DECCA stereo labels... All 8 LPs are original early first pressings in typical Decca fashion: six of the eight volumes have ED1 labels, but two (SXL 6217 & SXL 6219) were originally issued with ED2 labels - see complete details incl. matrix numbers below. Beautiful laminated covers, complete with original Decca polylined innersleeves and vinyl in pristine NEARMINT/MINT condition - perfect!  Fantastic complete set - best I have seen in many years ... Famous piano performances by Julius Katchen recorded with true audiophile soundquality. See photos ...
