Description
Title: Furtwangler 'Pop' Concert with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra
Format: Vinyl LP
Label: EMI/HMV
Catalogue No: ALP 1526
Country: UK
Description: Unsure of the exact year of release but possibly early 1950's....Furtwangler 'Pop' Concert with the Vienna Philharmonic with works by Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Weber, Nicolai & Strauss. Red/Gold HMV label with 'ET' tax code near centre hole on B side. Comes in a thick front laminated flip back picture sleeve (Garrod & Lofthouse, patents pending) with poly-lined 'Emitex' white paper inner. Tracklisting is as follows:
SIDE 1
MENDELSSOHN: THE ''HEBRIDES'' OVERTURE
TCHAIKOVSKY: WALTZ AND FINALE FROM SERENADE FOR STRINGS
SIDE 2
WEBER: ''OBERON'' OVERTURE
NICOLAI: ''THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR'' OVERTURE
J. STRAUSS: ''EMPEROR'' WALTZ
Condition:
Vinyl: Vg+, both sides have a few very light surface marks that do not affect play, although there are several minor clicks during the ''Oberon'' overture but certainly nothing to spoil one's listening pleasure. Labels are clean and tidy (see other pic). The record still has a nice glossy sheen and were it not for the few surface marks and the odd light click I would have graded it excellent as it plays very well with no surface noise to speak of.
Sleeve: Vg+, some light edge/corner wear, slightly more so to bottom right corner. Laminate has peeled/cracked slightly from the opening edge in places but only around 5mm at the worst. Rear sleeve has browned slightly (see pic) but no other real visible flaws. Inner sleeve is excellent.
(Please see the grading system further down the page for more information)

Record Grading System:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of being played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have some light wear or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover and extra items, without any major defects is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration etc.
FAIR: The record is still just about playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise and may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
CD grading system:
As a general rule, CD's either play perfectly- in which case they are MINT - or they don't, in which case their value is minimal. CD's are difficult to grade visually as they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they look damaged but still play perfectly. CD inlays and booklets are graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general plastic CD trays can easily be replaced if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves.
