Description
This record was made and printed in Great Britain and is the original first issue record, NOT a re-issue or foreign press. Wide band with "Original Recording By" at 10 o'clock. Cover is the original desired blue back and Printed in England on bottom left corner. Recently I acquired one man's lifetime collection of classical records from his deceased estate. I am auctioning the best of them on ebay. So please look out for my other auctions. This is the first one to go up.
This is Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 played by Julius Katchen with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Pierino Gamba.
The condition of this record is really amazing. I have not had the record cleaned but it played very well. I would grade it very good plus to excellent. This man took care of his records, always keeping them safe and it still has its original Decca sleave . The record really looks like it's hardly been played. No visible scratches that I can see. I listened to it once and it was a pleasure with a very immediate sound , no skips, jumps, or clicks, and minimal surface noise. If cleaned that should get rid of most of the surface noise. I held it up to 3 naked light bulbs and all I could see were a couple of very light scuffs, no scratches that I could feel at all. No spindle marks around the hole and label looks fresh. The cover is bright and in excellent condition, no splits or marks , and with one tiny closed tear at the opening measuring 1 cm. . See our website at www.treasurehouse.co.za for other records from this collection being sold, to be listed over the next few weeks. This is the first one to be listed.
