Vienna Philharmonic Festival  U.S. RCA LIVING STEREO Shaded Dog pressings with clean, deep groove center labels. Soria Series 4x LP BOX with amazing BOOKLET ! HERBERT Von KARAJAN conducts: Mozart symphony in g, K. 550 Haydn symphony in D, No. 104 Beethoven symphony No. 7 Brahms symphony No. 1 Strauss overtures / Waltzes / Polkas (Johann and Josef) Outer box is in VG+ condition overall, with a small 1/4 inch abrasion dent on one edge of the back spine (not the "bookend spine" that faces the collector while this in on your shelf). This is not a "perfect" box, hence our conservative grade, but it is in great shape,  with only the most minor wear on a few edges or portions. The serious flaws are described. "Bookend spine" has a tiny bit of wear on the center top portion when viewed upright in your shelf. The attached cardboard "sleeve" is in otherwise great shape  and a photo is in our embedded photo gallery below. The booklet is in VG++ condition, with amazing, mounted art prints on heavy paper,  attached to the actual pages of the booklet. We've included photos of most pairs of open pages, and some close-ups. This set comes with custom, high quality innersleeves in excellent condition. Vinyl is visually graded and looks near-mint overall, except as noted below. Vinyl looks very clean and either unplayed or probably played only once, and carefully at that: There are one or two very faint, short spindle-mark on each label-side. Some of the vinyl sides have a very fine impression mark (visual, not feelable)  from the rectangular plastic "window" that's on inside of each sleeve's single die-cut window.  This is from a minor and inaudible chemical reaction that often occurs  with older vinyl pressings and various types of plastic innersleeves being in contact  with eachother for half a century or so (in this particular case) Machine-stamped matrix number suffixes are noted below,  catalog numbers and printed record company matrix numbers  are all visible in our embedded photo gallery. In addition to the matrix number suffixes,  most of the records have an "A" or what looks like "A /" or "A1"  separately machine stamped in the dead-wax as well. Side 1: 3S Side 2: 4S Side 3: 4S two small finger-felt marks on this otherwise excellent looking side,  one at the 1/3 point, one shorter mark toward the very end of the side. Side 4: 5S Side 5: 1S Side 6: 3S Side 7: 5S one or two very fine, almost invisible paper-scuffs. Side 8: 1S one or two very fine, almost invisible paper-scuffs.
