 SXL 2296 WITH THE "ORIGINAL RECORDINGS" AND "MADE IN ENGLAND" RIM TEXT AND THE EARLIEST 2D/4D MATRIXES AND THE SMALLER LABEL PRINT! HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL POLYLINED BLUE PRINT "FULL FREQUENCY STEREOPHONIC SOUND" INNER SLEEVE WITH THE "FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING" TEXT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST PRINTED FOR THIS PRESSING.

A TRULY BREATHTAKING,WORLD FAMOUS,EXCITING RECORDING-STILL YET TO BE BEATEN-REISSUED MANY TIMES SINCE WITH DECCA'S BRILLIANT MASTERING AND PERFECT USE OF THE STEREO IMAGE. ANSERMET WAS ONE OF THE FINEST CONDUCTORS OF THE LAST CENTURY AND PROBABLY DECCA'S BEST ORCHESTRAL RECORDINGS WERE MADE WITH HIM.

 IT ONLY TURNS UP ONCE IN A BLUE MOON IN SUCH LOVELY CONDITION! THIS ONE HAS GLEAMING SURFACES-JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL,LIGHT SURFACE MARKS AND HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE APART FROM A FEW LIGHT POPS AND FAINT CRACKLE AT THE START OF SIDE TWO WHICH LAST FOR THE FIRST 45 SECONDS(APPROX) AND EVEN THESE ARE NOT TOO OBTRUSIVE WITH NO LOUD CLICKS,NO SWISHES,NO JUMPS,NO STICKS,NO GROOVE HISS ETC ETC! HAVE CONFIDENCE IN MY HONEST AND CAREFUL GRADING-LISTENED TO THREE TIMES TO BE SURE-ANYWAY I REALLY ENJOYED HEARING THIS PERFORMANCE THAT SOUNDS WONDERFUL! AN IMPORTANT AND VITAL "SXL" FOR ANY SERIOUS CLASSICAL RECORD COLLECTOR!  IT PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH VERY CLEAR SOUND-INCREDIBLE BASS! LOVELY CLEAN LABELS-NO SPINDLE WEAR. SHARP PRINTING-NO LABEL WRITING,RIPS,STAINS ETC.  THICK UK PRESSED VINYL.  STRICTLY GRADED AS EXCELLENT++++ CONDITION. MOST WOULD GLADLY STATE NEAR MINT CONDITION! FAR BETTER THAN MOST STEREO LPs OF AROUND 54 YEARS AGO AND OF COURSE MOST CLASSICAL BUYERS WHO COULD AFFORD THIS LP,PLAYED IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN! THIS COPY HAS BEEN CHERISHED AND WELL CARED FOR WITH NOT MANY PLAYS! PLENTY OF BASS! THERE IS STILL THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT INNER SLEEVE AS SUPPLIED UNTIL THE MID 1960s AND NOT WITH LATER REPRESSES.THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER IS VERY CLEAN WITH NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.JUST A FEW MINOR CREASES AND A LITTLE STAINING INCLUDING WHERE A STICKER HAS BEEN REMOVED WITH A FEW ULTRA TINY SPOT TEARS NEAR THE DANCER'S RIGHT ARM BUT THIS IS MINIMAL. 

PLEASE SEE ALL OF THE PHOTOS WITH NOTHING TO HIDE!

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

SHARP,CLEAN LABELS!   

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
