Description

  DECCA SXL 2074/5 WB WAGNER, DIE WALKURE, KNAPPERTSBUSCH Extremely rare original Wide-Band Edition 1 UK release Wagner – Die Walkure (Act 1 complete) Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Hans Knappertsbusch with Kirsten Flagstad, Set Svanholm and Arnold van Mill.
This is the extremely rare UK wide band pressing of one of the rarest Decca SXL records, and in near mint condition. There is no groove wear, sticks, jumps, skips or clicks on either of the records and they both play without any distortion whatsoever. I ’m sure the winner of this auction will not be disappointed with their purchase.
The album is 2-record box set on Decca Records, SXL 2074-5. Matrix side one: ZAL-3830-5E (stamped). Matrix side two: ZAL-3831-1K (stamped). Matrix side three: ZAL-3832-1E (stamped). Matrix side four: ZAL-3221-4K (stamped).
Released in 1962. UK pressing. Stereo.
Condition: (as Record Collector's grading system. If I see a mark it will be mentioned however light/small, apart from the usual very light paper scuffs/marks - usually caused by record being removed from the inner sleeve, which appear on nearly all old records and which are only visible under strong light)
Vinyl side 1: Visual: near mint
Audio: near mint 

Vinyl side 2: Visual: near mint
Audio: near mint 

Vinyl side 3: Visual: near mint
Audio: near mint 

Vinyl side 4: Visual: near mint
Audio: near mint 

Box (outer laminated lid): excellent (some very light dirty marks on white areas at bottom of front, that apart it’s perfect - see photos).
Comes with the original 12-page insert in very good condition (has some very neat hand writing on four occasions - see photo.
The records plays great with no jumps, skips, sticks or clicks and minimal crackle.
I have tried to give my honest opinion as to the condition. I will give a complete refund to the buyer if they are not happy with the record.
Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM:
MINT: I very rarely use the mint grade. Only records that are still sealed or records that even under the strongest of lights are completely unmarked. Also covers that are unmarked/uncreased in any way and still look brand new.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is no lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
