Description
THIS AUCTION IS FOR A 1959 RECORDING OF TCHAIKOVSKY'S COMPLETE NUTCRACKER BALLET. IT IS PERFORMED BY L'ORCHESTRE DE LA SUISSE ROMANDE, CONDUCTED BY ERNEST ANSERMET. IT IS A TWO RECORD BOX SET RELEASED BY DECCA RECORDS IN FULL FREQUENCY STEREOPHONIC SOUND. THE CATALOGUE NUMBERS BEING SXL 2092 (SIDES 1 & 4) AND SXL 2093 (SIDES 2 & 3). BOTH DISCS HAVE GROOVED LABELS AND THE WIDE BANDS. YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES THAT THE TWO LABELS HAVE A DIFFERENT PRINT TYPE. I THINK 2092 IS A FIRST EDITION LABEL AND 2093 A SECOND EDITION. WHY THIS IS I DON'T KNOW , BUT I AM TOLD THIS IS HOW THEY CAME WHEN PURCHASED BACK IN THE 1960'S.
THE TWO DISCS ARE IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION AND HAVE BEEN BARELY PLAYED JUDGING BY THE CLEAN LABELS AND THE SHINY LUSTRE OF THE VINYL. PLAYBACK IS NEAR PERFECT. I COULD HEAR THE OCCASIONAL POP AND SOME VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND HISS BUT NOTHING OF SIGNIFICANCE. OVERALL THE VINYL IS GRADED AS EXCELLENT/EXCELLENT + . THE BOX IS IN GREAT SHAPE, HINGE AND SPINE FULLY INTACT AND THE COVER PICTURE STILL SHINY AND BRIGHT. TWO OF THE BOX CORNERS WERE SPLIT BUT HAVE BEEN NEATLY REPAIRED. THERE IS MINOR WEAR TO THE REAR OF THE BOX. THE 8 PAGE BOOKLET IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW AGE SPOTS ON THE FRONT.
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT COPY OF A RARE STEREO BOX SET , IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK. POSTAGE WILL BE BY RECORDED DELIVERY ONLY. PLEASE WAIT FOR INVOICE BEFORE PAYING. PLEASE TRY TO SETTLE WITHIN FOUR DAYS. FULL REFUND IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY , SUBJECT TO THE ITEM BEING RETURNED IN THE SAME CONDITION AS WHEN POSTED BY ME.
OVERSEAS BIDDERS WELCOME , POSTAGE COSTS WILL BE GIVEN ON REQUEST. GOOD LUCK!
