Description
Very scarce in this earliest pressing and lovely condition, this is a flawless copy of German DGG SLPM 138008, part of the very first slate of stereo releases for DGG in '58/'59. The disc is a thick pancake "Alle Hersteller," and the sewn gatefold cover, dated 9/1958, has "STEREO" in thin letters, a red stereo sticker, with ads for the other initial DGG stereo releases on the back. An incredibly young Lorin Maazel conduct the Berlin Philharmonic in the Beethoven 5 and the Consecration of the House overture.
This record was auditioned with a Goldring 1042 cartridge, Music Hall TT, Densen amplification and Epos speakers. The thick disc looks glossy and superb, and plays quietly and perfectly: NM. The cover looks near-new, also NM.
This is a true collector's copy of this indispensable stereo DGG--you are unlikely to find better.
