The outer sleeve is the original: lightweight cardboard, flip-back, laminated on the front. The sleevenotes are dated 1960. Disc and outer sleeve are both made in England. The inner sleeve is period Decca ffss printed paper with polythene liner.
Programme
Overture “The Hebrides” (Fingal’s cave) op.26
Symphony No. 3 in A minor “The Scotch”, op. 56
Condition of Disc
The disc is flat and the playing surfaces are glossy and clean with no signs of wear. Centre labels are free of writing, sticky labels or marks and there is no ‘squirreling’ around the centre hole. The disc plays superbly, with negligible surface noise or loss of high frequencies. If by some miracle, you can find another copy of this disc in this condition, then you should buy it.
Condition of Sleeve
No writing, tears or folds. There is very minor ring wear front and back. The flip-back edges are secure and there is no sign of foxing or oxidation of glue. There is only the very faintest shelf/handling wear at the corners and edges.
