Malcolm Arnold - Overtures (Reference Recordings RR-48) gatefold audiophile 2 Disc LP, with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by David Nolan.
*This record is on both Harry Pearson's Super Disc list and Arthur Salvatore's Supreme Recordings list.
A superb recording that is long out of print and typically very difficult to find.  This is truly a "reference recording," with stunning dynamics and startling realism.  A legendary recording, this is a must have for lovers of orchestral music.
Near Mint condition - This 2 disc LP was purchased new in the early nineties and still looks virtually new.  The 2 discs have only been played twice on a VPI Aries turntable with an Ortofon Rondo Bronze moving coil phono cartridge.  The discs have no scratches or any other user damage.
The jacket looks nearly new.  There are no seam splits, and only a few minor edge and corner dents (see photos).  The jacket has always been protected by a poly bag.  The gatefold has never been fully extended.
Each disc side was cleaned on a VPI HW-17 cleaning machine before play.
Recorded in 1991.  Engineered by Keith Johnson.  Half speed mastered by Stan Ricker.  Pure Analogue recording.  33 1/3 RPM.
Side 1
1. A Sussex Overture (12:11) 2. Beckus the Dandipratt (10:45)
Sides 2 and 3
1. The Smoke (11:56) 2. The Fair Field (9:17)
Side 4

I sell only from my personal collection.  Unless otherwise noted, 99% of what I sell was purchased new, and played only a few times or less on high end equipment.  
My discs are extremely well cared for, and unless noted otherwise, discs have no scratches or any user damage.  Discs and covers were always protected in plastic outer and rice paper inner sleeves, so you're getting a mint LP (no exaggeration) in terms of play and cosmetics.  
Analog veterans know this, but recent vinyl converts should be reminded that even brand new LPs have tics and pops, so don't expect any LP to be perfectly silent.
