Description
You are bidding on GOUNOD FAUST BIZET CARMEN WITH ALEXANDER GIBSON
This is the original 1960 pressing on RCA LSC-2400 ( 2S/4S) SD Canadian issue.
Information has it that a large number of Canadian-pressed Living Stereos, the first Canadian pressing has a U.S.-made metal stamper marked 2S, and apparently was cut in the States for the Canadian market at the same time as the 1S stamper was cut for the U.S. market and its label is the pre-shaded dog dark red/maroon Canadian RCA label with no dog.
The stamper is machine pressed and I believe would indicate that it was cut in the States for the Canadian market
Reviews state that the sound quality of these pressings sound surprisingly good, and in no way inferior to the comparable U.S. pressings.
Cover is VG++ with a small stain on the bottom left corner
Visually vinyl is near mint with a few light scuff marks.
Play grade on my high end Kiseki cartridge sound is loud and excellent.
One of the holy grails of classical music.
Buyer pays $8 shipping to the US or $20 overseas.
