Original UK DECCA 1959 Stereo LP recording - SXL 2179

Edition 1 Pressing; Wide Band Grooved, "Original Recording By.." First Stereo Pressing.

Stampers 2E & 2E

Rare, very highly praised and sought after performance in this magnificently sounding stereo recording.

*******

The record shows many signs of being played (light paper scuffs and light scratch marks) although still retains a bright sheen and is visually graded Excellent.
 
It plays very well in wonderful stereo sound with no skips or jumps; with a little crackle noise in places probably much of it due to dust/handling over the years with random and light repeated ticks in places.

The picture gives a good impression of the sleeve,  with some shelf wear and some slight laminate creasing and a 2.5" tear at the opening; visually graded as good.
