Description
Out of Print, King Super Analogue 180g Audiophile LP
This is a fantastic fantastic record. But, rather absent-mindedly, I ordered two copies of it and only realised after I had played both. So I am selling one of them.
Record is in Near Mint on both sides - only played once or twice. Immaculate condition.
The white heavyweight jacket is also as Near to Mint as is conceivable.
The record has only been played twice at most. It is a wonderful performance and also a really terrific recording. A real showcase LP.
Here is a taste of the music (not the same recording, but a refresher in case you don't know the piece): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSazwniZ4mc. I can't find a good recording on YouTube of the Finale or else I would add a link to that as well, it's beautiful.
Please note that the 10% donation to the Alzheimer's Research Trust comes completely out of my pocket - you don't pay any extra, I'm just giving up 10% of the final sale price and giving it to the charity instead.
Benjamin Britten conducting the English Chamber Orchestra performing his Simple Symphony as well as works from Delius, Bridge, Purcell and Elgar. Recorded December 1968 at the Maltings, Snape.
The record does not come in the picture cover - it is the "White Jacket" version of the LP (also pictured) though the label on the disc is the colour label. Again, both record and jacket are Near Mint.
All King Super Analogue titles are now out of print, including this one. I really cannot recommend it enough.
