Description
Mad Scenes from Anne Bolena, Hamlet, Il Pirata Maria Callas Test Pressing-White Label-Promo, 2 Lp Set, HMV ASD 3801. These are single-sided test pressing discs, so the same as a single LP.
The records look to be in excellent condition, though they may benefit from a clean.
They come in plain inner sleeves, with no outer sleeve.
Records are visually graded, according to the Record Collector magazine grading system.
These records come from the collection of John Job, former managing director of the EMG Gramophone Company.
EMG were a British company that produced very high quality hand-made gramophones from the 1920s to the 1970s.
Such illustrious people as Fredrick Delius and Laurence of Arabia chose EMG as their gramophone of choice!
In addition to this, the company published a very highly regarded monthly review of the best classical music recordings called the 'EMG Monthly Letter’.
John Job wrote many reviews for the ‘EMG Monthly Letter’ and many of the records in his collection were review copies he had been given and according to his son Richard, many of the records have only ever been played once or twice.
I will be listing many box sets of classical music from this wonderful collection in the next few days, which can be viewed in my other auctions here.
