Description

Recording First Published 1961 UK stereo pressing on Decca records of SXL 2266 of Rossini Overtures. Pierino Gamba conducting the London Symphony Orchestra.


This is a Decca wide band 1st label, grooved with "Original Recording By" at 10 O' clock  The matrix numbers engraved on the run-out are: ZAL-5035-2E & ZAL-5036-1E. The outer sleeve is a scalloped flip back sleeve, laminated on the front. The inner sleeve is plain paper.



Grading

Visually graded the vinyl under a task lamp. Both sides have sleeve/paper marks and tiny spider marks around the spindle hole. Would visually grade as VG+. It plays well on my Linn Sondek, no skips, jumps or repeated clicks. Side 1 has very little crackle, side 2 has crackle in one place and once again just as it plays into the run out. Sleeve is Excellent, some marks and ring wear on rear sleeve (see photos). 


Note that record will be posted in a cardboard record mailer. Sleeve will be in a plastic sleeve, separate from the record and inner sleeve. Record and inner sleeve will be in a card sleeve.
