George Szell - Mussorgsky: Pictures At An Exhibition; Stravinsky: Firebird Suite LP

Rare and sought-after original first UK stereo pressing on Columbia records SAX 2556 with red semi-circle labels and the earliest 1E/1E matrices.

Visually, the record appears in stunning NM condition. Fully play-graded the LP features a flawless NM playback throughout. The laminated flipback cover grades as EX due to a minor damage on the back at the opening and some sticker residue in the top right-hand corner. The original poly-lined EMI company inner sleeve is also included in beautiful condition. An outstanding copy that would make a great addition to any serious collection.

All items are carefully inspected and graded using Record Collector's Grading System. All flaws will be pointed out in the item's description. All items are also cleaned and play-tested in full prior to dispatch to ensure that they will play to the standard expected.

To make life easier, I offer free registered shipping to any destination in the world (no exclusions). All items are packaged 'snugly' to prevent internal movement damage, double-boxed if needed, using high-quality materials. The LP is first removed from the cover and then placed in a protective plastic outer sleeve to avoid seam splits. Extra care is taken with fragile items such as shellac discs and boxed sets.

Payment can be accepted by PayPal only unless other arrangements have been made.

All items come with a full money back guarantee including return postage so if there is an issue with your order please contact me immediately before leaving less than perfect Detailed Seller Ratings, negative feedback or opening a case and I will do my best to resolve it to your complete satisfaction.
