Description
Absolutely beautiful copy of the original 1939 first-ever release of the Wizard of Oz soundtrack featuring Judy Garland, on Decca 4-78rpm album set No. 74. Includes the original pressing of Over the Rainbow, a record which in itself is quite valuable. A truly stunning copy, complete with the impossibly rare original booklet insert. All four discs are very nearly mint, shiny and clean, with barely any signs of wear at all. Just the tiniest, tiniest signs of gentle use, barely. I have never seen cleaner discs than these. This is by far the best copy of the prized Over the Rainbow disc I have ever seen. Unbelievable. They all play just beautifully with no issues at all. No pops or noise beyond what a brand new 78 always has. These are just beautiful discs. The cover is remarkably well intact as well, with a perfectly clean and readable spine, which is torn a little at the top and bottom, but complete and fully attached. Not badly torn the way they commonly are. The boards are fully intact with stunning artwork, and just a bit of wear at th edges, mainly the corners, but really not bad at all. There is slightly loose binding, which you will have to be careful of, but overall just a beautiful copy, as you can see. Truly a top original, just about impossible to beat. The discs include:
-Over the Rainbow / The Jitterbug (a song that was omitted from the final version of the movie)
-Munchkinland Part 1 / Part 2
-If I Only Had a Brain / If I Only Had a Heart
-The Merry Old Land of Oz / We're Off to See the Wizard
The higher shipping is for insurance.
