SXL 2153 Decca Highlights From Swan Lake opus 20 Ansermet L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande.
Sleeve VG+
Media VG+
I have graded this record at VG+ while that means there is no scratches that will degrade the playing there are some clicks through the record that you would associate with the playing of a record of this age. I have cleaned the record and no doubt these clicks could be reduced further by more cleaning. I have played the record through and it plays well the clicks do not distract from the playing. There is a bubble in the record which is within the first minute of the first songs on each side. This has been here since manufacture and it result in a slight bass note for less than 20 seconds during the first songs. Other than this the records is of very good quality and it seems a shame to sell it.
The record sleeve is graded as VG+ as well. It has some age related marks to it but is in great condition. No rips or tears.
I believe this to be a Decca repress of slightly later than the first release which was 1959. This repress should be in the early sixties but i have been unable to confirm outright. What you do get is a great quality bargain price record to enjoy and listen to. The first press didnt have a white border running round the record sleeve.
The last few records of this type sold for around £40 to £50. I am selling lower in account of thr slight imperfections in the record and I want to sell quickly.
I post second class signed for at £4.10 as this ensures tracking and insurance.
Happy bidding and enjoy.
