Description

RARE genuine first pressing red sliver RCA SB-2063 (LSC-2336) made by Decca, U.K. 

Charles Mackerras conducts New Symphony Orchestra of London

FINLANDIA / Music of Grieg (Wedding Day at Troldhaugen, Two Melodies Op. 63, Two Elegiac Melodies Op. 34) and Sibelius (King Christian II, Palleas and Melisande, Finlandia, Valse Triste)

Release from 1959, STUNNING! AWSOME ambience, 3-dimensional sound! Wonderful sampler of classical Nordic classics!

Subjectively, sonicwise on par, for instance, with Witches Brew SB-2020 and L'Arlesienne Suite SB-2057 and a few other SB-numbered records Decca did for RCA. This recording was done in Walthamstow Assembly Hall, engineer Kenneth Wilkinson. Superb midrange transparency, detail, dynamics, texture, as a result!

Almost all recordings Decca did in Paris and London concert halls are really superior soundwise to the US pressings.

Record plays perfect both sides, rating NM!

Cover in equally great shape, no splits, tears, no writing anywhere. Original inner sleeve. Overall NM. Great collectors item.

This and other SB-series records made by Decca (Kenneth Wilkinson!) for RCA offered in my current auctions, LPs are part of my collection treasured since the 1990s.

I listen to the record before grading, both sides, no spot listening, both sides are judged for audio quality, flaws et al. All records cleaned 2-3 times (Kuzma washing machine) before listening starts, Nagaoka or MFSL rice paper sleeves for all records when put back into cover. Playback gear: Garrard 401, Ortofon AS-212 tonearm, Shure V15-III cartridge.
Please note, record noise can get even lower with more washing of record.

No return, private sale. But bid with confidence, my grading is conservative. Above all, no nonsense MINT gradings applied to records which are 50+ years old.

Thanks for bidding!
