Carpenter ADVENTURES IN A PERAMBULATOR - Howard Hanson conducting the Eastman-Rochester Symphony Orchestra - MERCURY MDS5-2 (A Mercury LIVING PRESENCE Stereophonic Tape Recording).
This tape has been played, but I did not test it. This is a nice find for lovers of Classical music, John Alden Carpenter,or just the incredible fidelity that can be found on these vintage 2-track stereo tapes!
Tape speed 7.5ips, for in-line heads(2-track). See pictures & description below for further information. I do not know professional grading, so I will try to describe item as fully as possible. Please email with questions(preferably at least 48 hrs. prior to auction close).

Front: Light shelf wear(hard to see unless the box is angled in the right light). Rear: Same as front but because of the white background, more of the smudges are visible.

One of the corners has a very slight ding. Spine: Very light wear, similar to rear. Interior: Very nice condition.
