Description

Hi, up for sale today are some very rare classical test pressings. These are 1 sided test pressings on Columbia and HMV, mainly in Near Mint condition.
Some of these records are UNRELEASED Columbia SAX and HMV ASD lps; to our knowledge none of these unreleased titles have ever been available for sale before and are possibly unique.
Some of the other titles are rare pieces by highly collectible conductors such as George Szell.
Strict visual audiophile grading employed.
This listing is for:
Rudolph Kempe conducting Wagner Preludes (Tristan und Isolde, Lohengrin and Parsifal)
This stereo set was never released on HMV ASD in the UK, only in mono as ALP 1638.
*This UK STEREO test pressing has never been available for sale before and is possibly unique*
2 x 1 sided HMV stereo test pressing - matrix numbers 2YVH 3-1 and 2YVH 4-13
These records are graded NM and EX+
These records are housed in EMI 'Use Emitex' inner sleeves and the ALP 1638 mono sleeve (in G condition - laminate bubbling)

Further Information:
Pricing - if these records have sold before in similar condition we will set the price at a similar (probably slightly lower) level.
Postage - these records will be mailed with full insurance. This will unfortunately be expensive and charged at cost. Any customs charges on international shipments will be the responsibility of the buyer. We are happy to offer combined shipping.
A full satisfaction guarantee is offered on these records - if you are not happy we are happy to refund the cost of the record on return of the record.
We will be happy to answer any questions.
