Description
STUNNING NR MINT VINYL, NEAR FAULTLESS PLAYBACK TCHAIKOVSKY's THE NUTCRACKER ANSERMET SXL 2092-3 DECCA STEREOPHONIC ED1 LABEL!! TCHAIKOVSKY'S "THE NUTCRACKER" CASSE-NOISETTE COMPLETE BALLET ANSERMET
STUNNING AND RARE DECCA STEREOPHONIC SXL 2092-3 DOUBLE LP RECORDING.
ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS ED 1 LABELS WITH;
a small circle near the top of the label bearing the letters FFSS
a groove about half an inch inside the label rim
the words ORIGINAL RECORDING BY positioned at 10 o’clock on the outer rim of the label
the band containing the words FULL FREQUENCY STEREOPHONIC SOUND is wide
HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL GATEFOLD TOP LOADING SLEEVE, WITH BOOKLET STAPLED IN, AND ORIGINAL DECCA FFSS INNERS.
THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN GOOD CONDITION, A NOTORIOUSLY FLIMSY CONSTRUCTION, THIS ONE IS BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY, ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME WEAR TO THE EDGES, AND A SMALL TEAR TO THE MID RIGHT FRONT HAS BEEN REPAIRED WITH SELLOTAPE. (see pics)
THERE IS ALSO SOME LAMINATE FLAKING TO THE BACK. OVERALL THOUGH, A VERY NICE SLEEVE.
THE INNER BOOKLET IS FULLY INTACT, CLEAN, PRESENT AND CORRECT.
BOTH THE ORIGINAL DECCA FFSS INNER SLEEVES ARE IN STUNNING, NEAR MINT CONDITION.
MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL, THE VINYL RECORDS ARE IN STUNNING, NEAR MINT CONDITION, AND PLAYBACK IS EXCELLENT.
BOTH RECORDS ARE INCREDIBLY WELL KEPT FOR A SET THAT IS 56 YEARS OLD! YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO FIND ANY MARKS AT ALL ON ANY OF THE FOUR SIDES, SAVE FOR THE VERY FAINTEST OF TINY HAIRLINES (i'm being very picky here though), VISIBLE ONLY UNDER A STRONG LIGHT. TRUST ME, THESE ARE VISUALLY STUNNING.
ALL FOUR ED1 LABELS ARE PRISTINE, BEAUTIFULLY CLEAN AND SHARP.
PLAYBACK IS SUPERB, BEAUTIFULLY CLEAR IN QUIET PASSAGES, I HEARD SOME VERY FAINT "CLICKS" DURING PLAYTESTING, PROBABLY DUE TO DUST SPECKS. TRUST ME, THIS IS A WONDERFUL LISTENING EXPERIENCE.
ALL DONE, A STUNNING RECORD SET, WITH NEAR FAULTLESS PLAYBACK, AN ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING OF THIS HIGHLY COLLECTABLE DECCA STEREOPHONIC RELEASE FROM 1959.
RECORD WILL BE SENT RECORDED IN A PURPOSE MAILER. KEEP AN EYE OUT ON MY LISTINGS AS I'LL BE ADDING A FEW OTHER, NR MINT RARITIES, INCLUDING SEVERAL BEETHOVEN WHITE/GOLD LABEL EMI STEREOPHONIC GOLD LABELLED PRESSINGS.
