RCA LM 1703 (1 12” mono vinyl LP) prob 1953
These are the first publication on LP for these performances and thus have discographic primacy. I don’t recall any of these appearing on later LP issues by these artists though I may have overlooked a reissue here and there. Some came as 45s.
Record E++/M- One spindle trail each side. Glossy, no visible scratches.
Cover. E/E+. 1” repaired split bottom foredge. Yellowing around back liner edges,more pronounced at bottom at spine. Light yellowing to aligned printed spine.
Records are visually inspected. In some cases, I’ll play questionable areas and add comments.. Buyers are encouraged to give their used vinyl a thorough cleaning before the first playing.
This is a pre-1955 mono LP with a 1.0 mil horizonal only not a ½ mil stereo groove. For best results, it requires a 1 mil stylus, a playback setting that cancels the vertical component which is only noise, and an equalizer set to the new Orthophonic curve.
Shipping. Free to the U.S; Elsewhere, calculated by delivery address.
