Description
THIS AUCTION IS FOR A 1959 RECORDING OF TCHAIKOVSKY'S COMPLETE BALLET, THE SLEEPING BEAUTY. IT IS PERFORMED BY L'ORCHESTRE DE LA SUISSE ROMANDE, CONDUCTED BY ERNEST ANSERMET. IT IS A THREE RECORD BOX SET RELEASED BY DECCA RECORDS IN FULL FREQUENCY STEREOPHONIC SOUND. THE CATALOGUE NUMBERS BEING SXL 2160 (SIDES 1 & 6) , SXL 2161 (SIDES 3 & 5) AND SXL 2162 (SIDES 2 & 4). ALL DISCS HAVE GROOVED LABELS AND THE WIDE BANDS. YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES THAT THE LABELS ON THE THIRD DISC HAVE A DIFFERENT PRINT TYPE. I THINK 2162 IS A SECOND EDITION LABEL AND THE OTHERS FIRST EDITION. WHY THIS IS I DON'T KNOW , BUT I AM TOLD THIS IS HOW THEY CAME WHEN PURCHASED BACK IN THE 1960'S.
SIDES 2, 3, 5 & 6 ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, JUST THE OCCASIONAL POP AND A MODERATE AMOUNT OF BACKGROUND HISS, NOTHING OF SIGNFICANCE AND PLAYBACK IS UNSPOILT. SIDES 1 & 4 BOTH HAVE A SMALL AREA OF DAMAGE CONSISTING OF A CLUSTER OF TINY SCRATCHES ABOUT A SQUARE CENTIMETRE IN SIZE. ON BOTH DISCS THIS RESULTS IN SEVERAL REPEATING CLICKS THAT LAST FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES. THERE ARE NO SKIPS OR REPEATS AT ANY POINT. THE BOX IS IN EXCELLENT , UNDAMAGED CONDITION. THE 8 PAGE BOOKLET IS ALSO EXCELLENT WITH JUST A FEW AGE SPOTS ON THE FRONT .
THIS IS AN NICE 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.
