Description
PORTSMOUTH SINFONIA-"PLAYS THE POPULAR CLASSICS
On offer is the rare 1974 Columbia Records Import Issue of the original 1973 Transatlantic LP
PORTSMOUTH SINFONIA - "Plays The Popular Classics".
This the LP that Brian Eno produced.
Frankly the musicianship leaves a lot to be desired, but what makes the orchestra so unique is that the only qualification for joining the was "enthusiasm". (And not much else...)
There doesn't seem to be anybody who can actually play their instrument properly...
If you have never heard it before, you are in for a treat.
Listen to your favourite classical pieces in a completely new light!
It really is an experience you are unlikely to forget...
This is a cult CLASSIC!
The Album has no reserve and a low starting price - ENJOY!
It is as I said on the COLUMBIA label - BL 33049.

ALBUM - EX+

I am selling a few and unusual records some in MINT but most in the EX or VERY GOOD PLUS range of condition, so see my other items should you wish to save on shipping costs.
I try to grade records as accurately and as fairly as I can, as I have found that things I have bought on ebay have mostly been described pretty well, with only one in sixty-odd transactions being not quite as described - but near enough for me not to complain!
MINT (M) - Sealed and/or obviously unplayed. Perfect condition.
NEAR MINT (NM) - Vinyl in new condition, record may have been played once or twice.
The cover may have very, very slight wear and/or creasing.
EXCELLENT. (EX) - The record shows evidence of being played with a few light surface marks or scuffs. the cover posssibly has slight general wear.
VERY GOOD (VG) - The record shows signs of being played a lot with a few light scuffs, scratches and subject to normal wear and tear.
GOOD - Plays reasonably well but has lots of scuffing/scratching that may be distracting. The cover shows lots of wear with creasing,tears and splits.
