1961 Uk Decca ED1 SXL 2289 of Kertesz & the VPO in the Dvorak New World Symphony. This was a one off Gatefold sleeve design immediately after they stopped blue back sleeves, and is one of the most sought after 1st generation SXL's.
Here it is, one of the most desirable and rarest SXL's, in a very healthy list of similar early rarities. The only SXL that comes with a gatefold sleeve. A rare item!
1st pressing anywhere type UK Decca SXL 2289 Istvan Kertesz & the VPO Dvorak, From The New World, Symphony No.5 (which becomes 9 in the new numbering order) In E Minor OP.95
Superb unmarked playing surfaces and labels in a pristine ffss inner. Gatefold Sleeve has a closed tiny tear to the top edge (shown in 5th pic), and a little bit of dry yellow to edge opposite spine where ancient sellotape was cleanly removed leaving no stickiness, barely visible now. I am only being very fussy because of the rarity of this one, you will not find a cleaner lp of this, and the sleeve is still excellent to excellent minus at worst. Vinyl, labels and playback full near mint, in a superb NM ffss original inner, shown in pic. When I saw the pristine state of that inner, it made me suspect that this was going to be clean. When I took it out, it looked unplayed. When playgrading, it sounded superb. No wonder this is a top five UK early stereo collectable.
we send packed in hard card custom made new boxes, this will be housed in a poly outer and an anti static inner will be added to the ffss decca inner to further protect the lp.
