There is always a Sale by TheBay.

We ask what we consider to be a fair price for anything we sell.  We understand that our idea of a fair price may be someone else's 'that's too much' cost.  If that's the case, feel free to make us an offer and will consider it.  However, please avoid making lowball offers.  If you make us a lowball offer, we will thank you kindly for your interest and respectfully decline your offer.

Now onto the item for sale.

For sale is an incredibly rare album that is hard to find even on here.  This is a 1959 first edition pressing of Beethoven Fifth Symphony "Leonore" Overture No. 5.  The symphony is conducted by Andre Cluytens and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.

This album was made in Great Britain and is an EMI Stereophonic Recording.

This album is about as close to mint as you will find.  Truth be told, just finding another one is a chore unto itself.  The vinyl has jet black gloss and the labels are gorgeous.  The vinyl doesn't appear to have any scratches and we looked over both side very closely.  There are a couple marks on the vinyl, but they're like a dulled marks and not a scratches.  The album cover is in excellent to near mint condition as well with hardly a single issue.  It still has its fresh shiny gloss and about the only thing I would point out is the mark from a price tag, or sticker on the back.  The mark is just below the album number in the top right corner.  The album sleeve would be about perfect if not for a 1 3/4" seam split along the edge and a slight crease across the top left corner.

Not too many albums are difficult to find.  This one is among the hardest to locate and do not come around often.

Because of the value of this item, it will be shipped in an album box (12x12x1) via priority mail with the USPS and include the necessary insurance for peace of mind.

Thanks for looking and God bless!
