Description
Early 1S/1S/1S/1S, Indianapolis (I) pressing. Images in the Soria booklet retain their vibrant color and vividness. LPs play with little to no background noise. Images are of the Soria set offered here. Yellowing on the white background in the photos is an artifact of the scanning process. Overall, a beautiful copy, one of the finest I have seen in 40 years of collecting.
