$

225

THIS RECORD HAS BEEN MACHINE WASHED AND PLAY GRADED USING THE RECORD COLLECTOR SYSTEM

RECORD CONDITION  EX to EX+  Fingernail scuff side 1 non sounding. Some faint paper scuffs both sides.
                                         A couple of small shiny marks both sides. On side 1 three moderate pops about a minute
                                         in, followed by three faint pops. A few faint pops towards the end of the first movement.
                                         Three pops in the middle of the second movement. Very fine quiet surfaces.
                                         On side 2 six faint pops half way through the third movement, and seven faint pops at the
                                         end of the movement. Six faint pops in the middle of the finale, a few faint pops
                                         elsewhere. Again fine quiet surfaces.

LABELS                           It is very rare to see a SAX label with a colour defect. The quality control staff at
                                          Columbia rejected damaged or discoloured labels, so it is very surprising to find
                                          a record with such an obvious defect that passed inspection.

COVER CONDITION     EX  Deep scoring across front, tape remains on back.

INNER SLEEVE              Original

The date on the cover refers to the first release by Epic in the USA. The recording took place in October 1960, the
Us release dates from 1962, but the UK Columbia issue was in September 1963.
