Ruggiero Ricci / Pierino Gamba - Bizet: Carmen / Sarasate: Zigeunerweisen / Saint-Saens: Havanaise LP
Rare UK stereo pressing on Decca - SXL 2197, wideband non-grooved labels with 'Made in England by' at 10 o'clock, 2E/2E matrices, ED3.
Record: VG (downgraded due to one small needle scratch at the middle of side 1 and a long hairline scratch across side 2 neither of which are deep enough to be felt with a fingertip but they still look like they may have some effect on the audio; I have play-graded this LP and the sound was quite clear on side 1 even without previous cleaning but ticking could also be clearly heard so, unfortunately, it is not better than VG copy audio-wise either; side 2 has a bit more surface noise but the long hairline does not seem to cause any consecutive ticking or affect the audio in any significant way)
Cover: EX+ (only the slightest amount of shelf wear and some minor writing on the inner sleeve)
