THE FIREBIRD STRAVINSKY ANSERMET 1958 ED1 DECCA SXL 2017 STEREO FIRST RELEASE DEEP GROOVE VINYL LP IN BLUE BORDERED SLEEVE
Sleeve Condition: MINT: There isn’t much I would risk grading as Mint, in fact I can’t recall the last time I did. This however, is a rare occasion when it is an appropriate grade. Stunning, unmarked and looking like the day it came off the shelf in 1958, the colours glow, the laminate is perfect and the sleeve is perfectly flat. If one were to be really picky, close examination of two of the corners reveal microscopic bumping. The best preserved, 1950’s record sleeve I’ve ever seen.
Inner Sleeve Condition: MINT: white, uncreased and free from signs of use or aging.
Record Condition: NEAR MINT: and only ‘Near’ as I’ve played it and it would be difficult to believe it has spent its life unplayed. However, the record looks flawless, plays perfectly and is as close to the condition in which it was bought as I believe it is possible to find.
This is the very first release of SXL 2017 with the blue border to the rear of the sleeve and ED1 (Original Recording By..) to the top of the label with the deep groove running around the inner circumference. Stamper codes are ZAL-2622 – 2E & ZAL-2623 – 3E.
This is one of the last few of a remarkable collection in almost or literally ‘as new’ condition. It would not be an exaggeration to describe them as in ‘archive’ condition. In 25 years of record dealing and over 40 years of collecting myself, I have never come across records so perfectly cared for and in almost perfectly preserved inner and outer sleeves.
Do check out my other listings if these are of interest. I shall be adding a few records every day over the coming week.
Please note that for items exceeding £50 in value, I charge £4.95 for Next Day Delivery to UK buyers and £5.30 for International Signed For delivery for overseas addresses. This is in addition to the P&P costs quoted in the listing.
