Description
Very very scarce UK original Decca pressed RCA mono only RD 27202, Nino Rota's score for Fellini's immortal La Dolce Vita. Impossible to find in this condition. The fragile wallet-style gatefold jacket is of the light-weight card stock favoured by Decca back then. It is laminated to the front and rear, and also unusually to the interior right hand inside pocket. (Classical collectors will recognise the construction as similar to SXL 2289, the Kertesz Dvorak 5).
I grade the jacket Ex+. It is usually destroyed. The record is top NM, as is the original lined innerbag. With Ekberg on the cover (in THAT dress), a gallery of photo's inside, and a fabulous Decca pressing, this is more like a private invitation than a record.
Check all the pics.. and make the most of the enlargement facility! If you'd like more photo's please ask.
The purge of the collection continues..... a varied batch this week.
Check my other listings, my feedback, and bid with confidence. Any reserves are realistic. Good luck!
Regular clients will know that I usually keep my descriptions brief and to the point. If you are looking, I figure you will know what you are looking at. I would not presume to condescend nor would I wish to bore you to death with unnecessary hype. Used records play-checked on SME 15, SME V with VDH cart and cleaned when necessary on a Loricraft Pro II.
GRADINGS:
MINT (M): Brand new and unplayed. Perfect, no indications of being handled or played. I only use this grading if I know for sure the record has not been played.
NEAR MINT (NM): The record is virtually flawless, clean and shiny. Very minor, barely visible innerbag wear may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. Jacket is as close to perfect.
EXCELLENT (EX): Record plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a non-sounding mark or two but nothing that affects play. Record is clean and shiny. Any issues with the jacket will be minor and described.
Because I have never collected records that are a lower grade than EX, you won?t be finding any for sale here.
