Original Color-Back Living Presence sleeve. Deep Groove Maroon Label Stereo. On the TAS (The Absolute Sound) List of exceptional recordings.
Back Cover is autographed by Frederick Fennell.
Collectable title from the legendary Mercury Stereo "Living Presence" line. Mercury revolutionized stereo with these groundbreaking recordings.
Condition: Color laminated sleeve has no ring wear on front, small amount on back. Upper left corner looks to have been bent in causing three or four diagonal creases near that corner - not horrible, but noticeable. Spine has creases near that corner. Top and bottom are solid and there is no chipping or splits. Autograph is in black ball-point pen and is very clear and legible. Vinyl is nice with a few slight paper scuffs and hairlines. Some surface noise and occasional click.

Review: For the past 50 or so years, Frederick Fennell has probably been the "Best Friend" that collectors of band music in general and marches specifically could ever have imagined! Starting with monaural LP's in the 1950's, such as Marches For Twirling and British Band Classics with the incomparable Eastman Wind Ensemble, which he himself founded, Dr. Fennell has consistently set the standard for march recordings, and has been a tireless champion for wind ensembles as a serious musical medium.
