Rare Decca SXL 2124 NM- WBG Ed1 & Ed2 label!! EXC+  cover!!

soloist Pierre Fournier

YES!! You read right! this LP has TWO different labels !!

Side B has ED1 'original recording' at 10 O'clock (NOT GROOVED)

Side A has 'Made in England' (also not Grooved) Professionally cleaned, treated with LAST Record Preserver and FULLY Test played. This is definitely an UNUSUAL edition!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since the Ed2 label commenced in 1967, i think this must be a real early one, where the label stick on guy (Machine!!) still had some left over ed1 labels for B side while sticking on the ed2 labels on A side.  (Well thats my theory, and I'm sticking to it!!!  even though the outer rear cover has a 1968 print date on it....)

LP is NM- with no rotational spindle marks on either labels, and no scuffs or scratches even in strong light.The LP is clean and quiet except the finale of 4th movement which has some light static crackling in the last minute or two, in all other aspects, Super quiet vinyl , everywhere else besides.

COVER   EXC+  printed NON flipback cover,

COVER Only downgraded due to small corner bend bottom left Very slight ringwear and yellowing on reverse. 

Rarely ever seen in Australia.  LP test played after wet wash bath, treated with LAST.  'Last' record Preservative. (archive quality Vinyl preserver, said to minimise play related wear for upto 200 'plays')

RULES FOR BIDDING

DOES ANYBODY READ THIS?? I THINK NOT BASED ON RECENT BIDDING ACTIVITY ON MY ITEMS!! PLEASE READ...

If you have hidden feedback, or

less than 98% positive, or

less than 50 recent visible positives, (that's NEW EBAY registrations with little activity yet, that have proven your good buying habits)  THEN -

I would appreciate email contact first to establish your credentials.  Credentials mean that I need to know you will be paying with VERIFIED PAYPAL account, and I of course will only be mailing to that verified address. DON'T EXPECT TO GET MY PERMISSION IN THE LAST 2 HOURS OF BIDDING, DO IT BEFOREHAND. (Buyers who have had trouble free transactions with me already qualify of course, regardless of the feedback status)

Winning bids unpaid after 7 days will be reported as non paying bidder and item opened to second chance offer.

HAPPY BIDDING, QUESTIONS WELCOME

This listing in Australian dollars because I don't live in US or UK, and if you don't, WHAT A WASTE OF DOUBLE CONVERSIONS THAT WOULD BE!!! Also as the exchange rate is more like R.S. not U.S against our vibrant economy in sunny Australia

The keen starting price offers a great opportunity to own this great recording at a reasonable starting price.
