Description
1982 Sealed ED1 Decca SXDL 7619 Sullivan Pineapple Poll from Mackerras & the Philharmonia. New Old Stock. Beautiful Ballet Suite in incredible sound (I have this in my collection). About 20 years ago I bought the complete backroom vinyl stock of a Hi Fi shop that was closing down. These were mainly well reviewed classical lps in their full priced versions, many first pressings from the 70s to the 1990s. I am now listing some of the sealed examples for the first time. These were quality control checked in the shop and then sealed in house for eventual sale (most British albums back then were not sold sealed - I know I bought them every week from the 70s onwards, so all the older UK albums sold nowadays as "factory sealed" were not), and those I have had for myself are all pristine and unmarked, flat and not off centre, playing perfectly, so were not the demonstration stock. They are mainly the late vinyl Decca's, plus some Phillips and EMI, so I have unintentionally saved the best until last. All of these 80s Decca lps are made for high end cartridges, best suited to an Elliptical or better tip. There's no point in trying to play these with a cheap old conical, it might struggle. On my Microline they are blissfully impressive, with a large airy soundstage.
