This auction is for a NEW "The Royal Ballet Gala Performances" 45rpm box set. Only the outside wrap has been removed. The vinyl has never been played and the only time a sleeve was touched was to obtain stamper information. This set consists of 9 single sided discs, for optimal sound performance, of the Classic Records 200 gram reissue of "The Royal Ballet Gala Performances" with Ansermet conducting the Royal Opera House Orchestra. Box and jacket are included as a bonus! These highly collectible limited pressings are from the first stampers.
The Royal Ballet has historically been the most highly sought after of the RCA Living Stereo releases. Recorded in Kingsway Hall by the legendary Kenneth Wilkinson, this title features selections from The Nutcracker Suite, Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty among others. The performances are conducted by Ernest Ansermet directing the Royal Opera House Orchestra and the sonics are incomparable.
First matrix stampers are the closest you can get to the lacquers and hence have the best sound qualities.
