Description
HERE IS A NICE COPY OF THE FIRST EVER DECCA SXL WIDEBAND STEREO LP:"1812 OVERTURE" FROM 1958 WITH KENNETH ALWYN CONDUCTING THE LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.ONE OF THE EARLIEST EVER STEREO LPs ISSUED IN THE UK! SXL 2001.
IT'S THE EARLIEST "GROOVED" LABELS WITH VERY THICK VINYL.THIS IS THE STEREO VERSION WHICH HARDLY ANYONE BOUGHT IN THIS FORMAT AS THE MAJORITY OF MUSIC FANS ONLY HAD MONO EQUIPMENT IN 1958! STEREO COPIES WHICH WERE MORE EXPENSIVE AND USUALLY OBTAINED BY DEALERS TO SPECIAL ORDER ONLY!
ALSO REMEMBER THE FEW COPIES IN STEREO THAT DID ACTUALLY SELL WERE PLAYED A LOT OR EVEN ON MONO ONLY EQUIPMENT IN ERROR AND THE EARLIEST STEREO EQUIPMENT HAD QUITE HEAVY PICKUPS RUINING THE DELICATE GROOVES FOREVER! THIS COPY HAS HAD SOME MINIMAL AND CAREFUL USE BUT WITH CLEAR WIDE STEREO SOUND.THERE ARE A COUPLE OF VISUAL,LIGHT SURFACE MARKS STRICTLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION.
JUST LOOK AT THOSE SUPERB LABELS WITH NO WRITING,STAINING OR DEFACEMENT!
HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL POLYLINED FFSS INNER SLEEVE WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE "BRITISH AND FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING" TEXT AND THE FULLY LAMINATED+FLIPBACK BLUE BORDERS COVER. THERE IS THE 58/8 DATE CODE=AUGUST 1958 THE MONTH THE RECORD WAS FIRST RELEASED!
THE COVER HAS A FEW SMALL EDGE CREASES,A LITTLE LAMINATION PEELING AND A LITTLE STAINING AT THE BACK BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.THIS COULD BE YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY TO GET THIS LP AT A BARGAIN PRICE IN STEREO!
A LOW,REALISTIC £10 STARTING PRICE. PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.
POSTAGE:UK 2ND CLASS SIGNED FOR:£5.
Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.
Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.
The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!
This is my honest grading!!!
