TCHAIKOVSKY
Sleeping Beauty & Swan Lake
HERBERT VON KARAJAN conducts
THE PHILHARMONIA ORCHESTRA
*******
Original 1960 COLUMBIA LP recording - SAX 2306 - Blue & Silver Label - First Stereo Pressing
Rare recording of this highly praised and sought after performance in a magnificently sounding stereo recording
*******
The record shows some signs of being played (a number of light paper scuffs which do not sound), still retains a very bright sheen and is visually graded EX-NM/79-80 (see below).
The disc plays very well indeed with no skips, jumps or repeated ticks, with a little crackle in places, due no doubt to dust and handling over the years.
The pictures gives a good impression of the sleeve, clean, robust and fully intact, with a little shelf wear at the corners: NM/82 (see below).
Satisfaction guaranteed - a full refund of the purchase price (excluding postage & packing costs) will be given for any item which does not comply with my description/grading and is returned to me within 14 days of receipt.
Bid with confidence - Low starting Price and no Reserve

Record Condition Grading System
I apply a visual grading system as follows:
- 90% Mint, (90% is the highest figure I give as no record is perfect)
- 80-89% Near Mint, NM almost flawless, at 85% only the lightest scuff marks to the record, slight wear to the cover; above 85% and up to 89%, there should be no marks on the playing surface of the record. Below 85%, down to 80%, there will be progressively more marking, but this will only be very light and superficial.
- 70-79% Excellent, EX, a few more light surface marks than will be seen at 80-85%, light ring wear or creasing to cover, slight tears/laminate lift to the cover. Remains of price labels or sellotape may be evident to the cover.
- 60-69% Very Good, VG, more obvious marks to the record, more obvious creasing, ring wear or laminate lift, worse tears to the cover. There may be ticks from the record but see below*.
This is a visual grading system. If I am aware of any audio problems affecting a record, such as ticks, I will provide this information in detail.
