Description
Elgar Cello Concerto – Jacqueline Du Pre & Janet Baker Sea Pictures - John Barbirolli conducting The London Philharmonic Orchestra ASD 655 M- first press red semi-circle label
Stunning condition copy.
The record is M- There are no marks at all on the record, no spindle marks on the label. It looks immaculate
The Cover is also M- There is no discolouration to the white cover, with just a couple of insignificant creases at the spine and a tiny, tiny ding at the bottom corner. The back cover, which is unlaminated, shows no sign of ringwear and no discolouration, except for a very little on the bottom flipback where the lamination has run out. Even in the best of records it is usually worse than this on the flipbacks.
It would be hard to find a better example of this justly famous recording.
I have a collection of 250+ classical LPs that I will be putting up on ebay over the next weeks. There are many rare items. Many SXL - ASD - SAX - RCA Living Stereo and other recordings, mostly original pressings. There are many sought after artists and conductors; Ida Haendel - Ruggiero Ricci - Campoli – Milstein- Furtwangler - Argenta - Kogan and others.
There is no way I can listen to all of these LPs. I will describe the records as exactly as I can and, in the case where I can see anything I would consider to be an issue with the vinyl, ie something that is very noticeable, I will play at least the affected part of that item and report the results. In describing them I will grade them as carefully, visually, as I can. If there are any issues I have missed they will be very small, as I will be looking at them carefully in bright light, with a critical eye. I do not guarantee they will be completely free of the occasional pop or click. However, I would expect that a good clean would improve the playback if there are any. Please bear in mind that these early Stereo pressings are 50 to 55 years old and will have accumulated some dust and dirt, however carefully they were kept. Also please bear the above in mind when bidding, Basically, I will try to describe them as carefully as if you were looking at them in a shop.
These records will be posted signed for. For those with a value above the signed for minimum, £50 I believe, postage will include the fully insured value of the record.
Please wait for the invoice, as ebay postage charges may not be correct.
