Description
Another myth (or misuse of terms) about Decca/London that you'll see repeatedly is ffss is NOT all ED1! ED1 label means the groove goes all the way out to the edge of the label (~3mm). And I would argue if you want to use the term ED1 to indicate the first pressing state, it has to be the "flat disc" that Decca used initially but briefly when they started pressing stereo records in 1958. You will only find these thick, heavy flat discs (sometimes referred to as "pancake pressing") on a few early issues pressed that year and needless to say, very rare! Regardless, this is a wonderful classic performance of famous Rimsky-Korsakov orchestral suites. Ansermet is particularly at home bring out the scintillating Russian fairytale elements of these works.

Note: I'm a collector, not a dealer. The reason I'm selling is to downsize my collection. Every record I offer was hand-picked based on its merits on music, performance, and sonics (not necessarily in that order!). I will list recording credentials such as producer, engineer, venue, date, etc. as I believe as an educated buyer, these will offer crucial info for an unfamiliar record to make a buying judgement. Hope you'll find this useful!
