Description
SIBELIUS
Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47
RUGGIERO RICCI (violin)
Øivin Fjeldstad conducts
THE LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
*******
Original English DECCA stereo LP recording pressing - SXL 077
Wide Band Grooved Label "Original Recording By", ED1 - 1st Stereo release of this record - Stampers 2E & 1K
Very rare, highly praised and sought after performances in this magnificently sounding stereo recording.
*******
The record shows signs being played a number of times (quite a few light marks none of which sound) but still retains a bright sheen. The record plays well with no skips, jumps or repeated ticks but with a crackle background in places (due no doubt to dust/handling over the year) which does not distract from this wonderful music making. Please note this is not a near mint record: it is visually graded EX/76 (see below)
The pictures gives a good impression of the scalloped flip-back sleeve (printed in England A.W. 59.1), fully intact, but starting to look a little shabby with some laminate lift and some significant wear at the edges, corners and to the flip-back edges: EX/72 (see below).
FFSS inner sleeve.
Satisfaction guaranteed - a full refund of the purchase price (excluding postage & packing costs) will be given for any item which does not comply with my description/grading and is returned to me within 14 days of receipt.
Bid with confidence - Low starting Price and no Reserve

Record Condition Grading System
I apply a visual grading system as follows:
- 90% Mint, (90% is the highest figure I give as no record is perfect)
- 80-89% Near Mint, NM almost flawless, at 85% only the lightest scuff marks to the record, slight wear to the cover; above 85% and up to 89%, there should be no marks on the playing surface of the record. Below 85%, down to 80%, there will be progressively more marking, but this will only be very light and superficial.
- 70-79% Excellent, EX, a few more light surface marks than will be seen at 80-85%, light ring wear or creasing to cover, slight tears/laminate lift to the cover. Remains of price labels or sellotape may be evident to the cover.
- 60-69% Very Good, VG, more obvious marks to the record, more obvious creasing, ring wear or laminate lift, worse tears to the cover. There may be ticks from the record but see below*.
This is a visual grading system. If I am aware of any audio problems affecting a record, such as ticks, I will provide this information in detail.
