Description

MILSTEIN / PHILHARMONIA ORCHESTRA / MOZART - " VIOLIN CONCERTOS Nos. 4 & 5 ", Columbia Records/EMI Records Ltd. (SAX 5254) Stereo, 1965.

Very rare, original first pressing, English stereo LP.

The red-semi circle label design and the heavyweight front laminated, flip-back sleeve distinguish this first issue.

Professionally cleaned on my Moth record cleaning machine and put in a fresh poly-lined inner sleeve (the original was lost unfortunately).


CONDITION:

VINYL = EX- CONDITION (No proper/deep scratches, no excessive surface noise or wear, no groove damage or distortion, etc. Nice clean labels with only the lightest of spindle trails. This record has clearly only ever had light use and been well cared for throughout it's lifetime. Under a bright grading lamp there are a couple of light handling/surface scuffs and a few fine hairline marks/visual imperfections - but these do not sound on playback. In fact, this record plays really well and definitely slightly better than it's visual appearance suggests - strong, clear, free from obvious unwanted interuptions and the music is still vibrant. Being critical, I heard the odd slight soft background crackle in the silent and quieter sections and run-in... but overall still a good honest example, just not quite up to sterile CD/archive copy level)

FWIW, unless the record appears genuinely unused, EX is the highest grading I award used classical LPs. I stand by EX- as the accurate grading for this particular LP too, it's not an overgrading... I just don't want to be judged alongside sellers using terms like "Mint with the few light marks you expect to find on an old LP" or sellers who only grade visually and claim to not be able to play the records they are selling!!!

This LP was tested for sale on my Linn Sondek LP-12 record player - this is generally a very critical test and fit for purpose, but please take into account that I cannot guarantee exactly how this record will sound on every bidder's own hifi.

SLEEVE = V.G. (No rips, tears, big creases, large seam splits or defacing. But it has been marked down a bit for some more pronounced wear to the edges and corners - the bottom left corner is beginning to wear right through. Also suffers a few small creases in the laminate, white areas have yellowed/discoloured and the rear sleeve is a bit grubby in places - see photos for more info)


NOTE: before bidding, please take the time to carefully read my condition descriptions and then place your max bids accordingly. If you do have any additional queries, please try to ask me any questions well before the end of the auction and I will endeavour to answer/help out.


This LP will be well packed and posted via a Signed-For service.
