Description

London CS 6165 Ruggiero Ricci performing Carmen Fantasie and selections by Saint-Saens, including the famous Rondo Capriccioso. This lp is hot out of the gate, the sonics are superb, and aside from the well-known Carmen Fantasie the Cappricioso  is superb, technically brilliant.

Happy listening!
I have stored this lp as all my others, in plastic, sandwiched by cardboard in a dark, cool, smoke-free storage area. 
I am an experienced collector, buyer and seller and will ship with Mighty Music Mailer as it dependably protects corners and edges. It's your choice but I do not like standard boxed mailers - one drop en route and your lp jacket is permanently damaged. If you're still picky like me, special shipping requests for expensive items is available upon request.
