Description
VERY RARE genuine first pressing red sliver RCA SB-6503 made by Decca, U.K.
Malcom Sargent conducts the New Sympony Orchestra of London
Bruch "Scottish Fantasy" and Vieuxtemps "Violin Concerto No. 5"
JASCHA HEIFETZ (violin)
Release from 1962, STUNNING! GREAT SONICS!
This is Heifetz' best recording ever put to vinyl, much better sounds than on SB-6527 (Bruch/Mozart: Violin Concertos), I'd rate sonics of SB-6503 as high as SB-2057, 2020, 2105.
SB-6503 is very hard to find as a first pressing, ie red/silver deep groove label.
Almost all recordings Decca did in Paris and London concert halls are really superior soundwise to the US pressings.
Record plays great on both sides, only a few tics and pops, rating NM-
Cover in great shape, no splits, tears, no writing anywhere. Original inner sleeve. Overall NM. Great collectors item.
This and other SB-series records made by Decca (Kenneth Wilkinson!) for RCA offered in my current auctions, the LPs are part of my collection treasured since the 1990s.
I listen to the record before grading, both sides, no spot listening, both sides are judged for audio quality, flaws et al. All records cleaned 2-3 times (Kuzma washing machine) before listening starts, Nagaoka or MFSL rice paper sleeves for all records when put back into cover. Playback gear: Garrard 401, Ortofon AS-212 tonearm, Shure V15-III cartridge.
Please note, record noise can get even lower with more washing of record.
No return, private sale. But bid with confidence, my grading is conservative. Above all, no nonsense MINT gradings applied to records which are 50+ years old.
Thanks for bidding!
