This 2-LP set is from the days when classical records came in a fitted plastic bag rather than flimsy shrinkwrap. Although the plastic here has been opened, I don't think the jackets have ever been removed from the bag. Not only are the individual Jackets pristine, the Vinyl appears Completely Unplayed. I only give a Mint Grade to Sealed records.Overall, this 2-LP album is as close to Mint as they come.

Archive Production:The Original Statement

Hitherto, the inexhaustible musical treasures of the past have only been made available on records to a limited extent. There are various reasons for this, but the two main reasons are that, firstly, early music still appears in concerts much less frequently than classical and modern music, and secondly, the older the music, the more difficult become the problems of its interpretation.

For this reason, the Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft established, a few years ago, a History of Music Division, with the aim of making available, both to the specialist and the ordinary music lover, the wide range of "early music" from the beginnings of the Western tradition, circa 700 A. D., to the "pre-classical" period a thousand years later.

In contrast to previous undertakings of similar character, it was not the intention of the Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft to produce a limited series of examples illustrating the history of music. Without confining the ARCHIVE PRODUCTION to an educational system or a restricted programme, the purpose is to preserve on records complete works from this infinite field, works whose beauty and vitality can still exert an immediate appeal on the music-lover of the present day.

In order that these recordings may be carried out at the highest possible levels of musicological research, artistic and technical achievement, the History of Music Division offers all the works

in their complete authentic form based on the original versions

Please don't miss the marvelous opportunity to become the proud owner of this

Superlative Performance of Mozart's final Musical Composition,

REQUIEM IN D MINOR, K. 626.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Keep Comin' Back!!
