Description
DECCA SXL 2017 - Stravinsky - The Firebird - Ansermet, OSR
Condition vinyl:
VG+/NM- (visually), but NM-/NM (playgraded)
Visually the vinly shows a handful of pale and completely superficial scuffs, probably from contact with the inner sleeve. I have played through the entire LP to see if there were any audible distractions caused by these scuffs - there weren't any! The record plays close to perfect with a wonderful silent black background, which lies well above average for early Decca stereo pressings! There were just three clicks in the last minutes of side one, which are caused by a tiny particle of dirt, stuck to the grooves. This particle can surely be removed with further cleaning and playing. Apart from that, there wasn't a single tick on the entire LP! A great player, it will be hard to find a better one!
Condition cover:
VG+
The scalloped flipback sleeve is in very nice condition. There's miniscule wear to the right corners, two very small and insignificant creases on the back and very light age yellowing, else the cover is without fault. There are no splits, stickers or writing. A nice one.
Pressing:
UK pressing - grooved wide band label, "ORIGINAL RECORDING BY" at 10 o'clock (ED1) - 3E-1-C/4E-1-G - scalloped flipback sleeve What else:
One of the essential Ansermet recordings! This was the first of the great Stravinsky ballets that Ansermet recorded in stereo. The recording was made in May 1955 in the Geneva Victoria Hall. Wonderful sound and a great genuine reading by one of the masters of Stravinsky's music make this one of the indispensable Deccas. This copy has the earliest label and a scalloped flipback sleeve, printing date on the back of the sleeve is September 1960.
NM (near mint) is my highest grade for a non-sealed record - mint is reserved for sealed copies.
