THESE WERE ROBERT PRESTON'S PERSONAL COPIES I PURCHASED THESE ACETATES
A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO AT ROBERT PRESTON'S ESTATE SALE IN BRENTWOOD CALIFORNIA
ACETATES CONDITION: VG to VG+ (they sound better then Vinyl rated VG to VG+)
The recordings are very clean and professional. The address on the labels is
for Carnegie Hall so I assume they were recorded there.
