ATTENTION CLASSICAL MUSIC AND 1950s 10 INCH LP COLLECTORS AS WELL AS CONDITION UPGRADERS OF RARE LPs!  

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1955 10 INCH LP-ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER EVER ISSUED IN THE UK ON THE REGAL LOOKING GOLD PRINT ON RED HIS MASTER'S VOICE LABEL:BLP 1087. GIOCONDA DE VITO(VIOLIN) WITH TITO APREA(PIANO) PLAYING:

FRANCK:"SONATA IN A MAJOR".

THIS IS A DIVINE PERFORMANCE RECORDED AND ISSUED IN MONO ONLY,61 YEARS AGO.

THERE WAS VERY LITTLE ATTENTION OR SALES FOR THIS LP WHICH PROBABLY ONLY HAD A PRINT RUN OF A FEW HUNDRED COPIES WITH THE MAJORITY OBTAINED TO SPECIAL ORDER. THERE WERE VERY FEW BUYERS FOR THE MID-1950s LPs AS THE EQUIPMENT WAS GENERALLY NOT STANDARD UNTIL THE LATE 1950s. THE EARLIEST EQUIPMENT FOR VINYL RECORDS WAS RATHER HEAVY AND CLUMSY WITH MANY DISCS DAMAGED AND ADD TO THAT MOST CLASSICAL MUSIC BUYERS TENDED TO OPT FOR 78s. THIS LP WAS PROBABLY DELETED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER COPY ESPECIALLY AS GOOD AS THIS EXAMPLE THAT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED IN 61 YEARS! WELL PRESERVED AND STILL HOUSED IN IT'S ORIGINAL AND CORRECT POLYLINED "TAKE GOOD CARE OF THIS RECORD" INNER SLEEVE WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE "BRIT.PAT APPLIED FOR" CREDIT AND THE FULLY LAMINATED COVER WHICH IS BEAUTIFULLY CLEAN WITH JUST AN ULTRA TINY PIECE OF LAMINATION MISSING AT THE LEAD IN EDGE AND A FEW ULTRA TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS,STAINING OR REPAIRS! THERE IS NO HORRIBLE SMOKEY OR MUSTY SMELL TO THE DISC OR COVER! FANTASTIC!

THE RECORD HAS THE "GROOVED" EFFECT WITH 3N/4N MATRIXES AND  GLEAMING SURFACES WITH JUST A COUPLE OF ULTRA TINY AND FAINT WISPY SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT AND THAT IS BEING MEGA-STRICT! THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE-JUST THE VERY SLIGHTEST FAINT SURFACE CRACKLE HERE AND THERE AT HIGH VOLUME BUT THIS IS VERY MINIMAL AND PROBABLY DUE TO MANY YEARS OF A LITTLE STORAGE DUST-THERE HAS BEEN NO CLEANING OR WASHING NEEDED ON THIS LP WHICH IS EASILY THE BEST COPY YOU ARE LIKELY TO FIND IN 2016-IT'S THE FIRST ONE I HAVE EVER FOUND IN 30 YEARS AS A DEALER! NO LOUD CLICKS,JUMPS OR STICKS. 

BEAUTIFULLY CLEAN LABELS WITH NO WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT. 

STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION. PLAYS SUPERB!
