Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition and FIRST PRESSING 2 LP Set (with 1s / 4s / 1s / 1s stampers in the runout grooves) on the RCA Red Seal label which was pressed in 1962 on the bright red "Shaded Dog" labels and a collection of brilliant violin and piano recordings (with one Two Violin Concerto performance with EFRAM ZIMBALIST, two performances with Irish tenor JOHN McCORMACK and a performance with soprano GERALDINE FARRAR) by legendary violinist FRITZ KREISLER titled "Fritz Kreisler in Immortal Performances" and includes performances with pianists SERGEI RACHMANINOV, HUGO KREISLER, and VINCENT O'BRIEN--Kreisler performs compositions by GRIEG, BEETHOVEN, BACH, BIZET, NEVIN, THOMAS, GODARD, RACHMANINOV, and SCHUBERT.  The performances are drawn from rare recordings made between 1914 and 1928.  The 2 LP Set is on the RCA Victor Red Seal label with the bright red "Shaded Dog" label, bears the serial number LM-6099, is a mono recording and a 1st PRESSING with 1S / 4S / 1S / 1S stampers in the runout grooves and was made in the United States in 1962.
This LP is in SUPERB condition and the vinyl plays beautifully and is in NEAR MINT condition on record one (sides 1 & 4) with NO significant imperfections and NM- (Ex) condition on record two (sides 2 & 3) with a few light paper scuffs that should not significantly affect play but no other significant imperfections; the booket is included and in FLAWLESS shape, and the deluxe cardboard box has both ends fully attached and is in NEAR MINT condition with two tiny tears on the upper right edge of the front box surface, a slight abrasion on the upper center edge of the back box surface and just very slight shelfwear otherwise but NO other significant flaws--it's NOT a cutout!  The two original RCA Victor inner sleeves are also included and in beautiful condition.

Very Good Plus (VG+) A record that has had a number of plays and may have some superficial scuffs, possibly mild to moderate spindle marks and / or possibly hairline scratches on the vinyl, which may produce some intermittent pops and possibly very light background noise.

Very Good (VG) A record that has generally been well cared for, but has seen a fair amount of play, with some scuffing. hairline scratches, spindle marks and / or light scratches.  Should play through well, with the possibility of more pops and more background noise.

Very Good Minus (VG-)  A record with significant scuffs, scratches, and spindle marks that should play through with moderate pops and surface noise, possibly of some duration.

Good (G) A record with will play through, but with significant pops, substantial background noise, and possibly intermittent skipping.

Poor (P) A record with MAJOR issues that will interfere with play, and will possibly be unplayable in part due to damage (I'll only offer an LP in this condition if it's an extreme rarity and / or for cover art display purposes).
