Description
The First LP. 220 gram vinyl. This one is in the first color slick used for ML 4001. Columbia ML4001 Milstein Mendelssohn Violin Concerto Bruno Walter. The condition is a solid VG+ .
These are truly scarce, selling for $250 to $500. The days of finding it in a box of LPs at Goodwill may be over. Probably 20,000 pressed, perhaps only a few dozen survive. I have 8 left I found through the 1980s and 1990s. This sleeve is the rarest one used for ML 4001.
That was me you saw on my knees searching through dusty boxes of LPs between the flea market gun dealer and the guy selling live chickens. Im 77 years old and when mine are sold out, well, they are gone. This is the FIRST LP....tis hard to imagine an LP collection missing this historical pressing. Thanks for lookin.
*Vinyl means a CoPolymer of Vinyl Chloride Acetate. Chemically thats [C2H3CL]n + [C4H6O2]m
