***
FIRST ISSUE ORANGE LABELS, GOLD TEXT
HERE IS A SUPERB COPY OF THIS FINE AND SOUGHT AFTER RECORDING, PRESSED ON THICK , HEAVY 195g VINYL. TELMANYI WAS A HUNGARIAN VIOLIN CHILD PRODIGY WHOSE GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT WAS LEADING THE BEGINNING OF THE BAROQUE RENAISSANCE. HE SOUGHT TO PLAY THE MUSIC AS IT WAS PLAYED AT THE TIME OF COMPOSITION. TO DO THIS HE PRACTICED ON AN ANTIQUE STYLE BOW THAT HE HELPED TO INVENT, CALLED THE VEGA BACH BOW. THE BOW WAS CURVED AND ITS STRINGS WERE LOOSE SO IT ENABLED THE PLAYING OF 3 OR 4 STRINGS SIMULTANEOUSLY. THIS CREATED A REMARKABLE AND UNIQUE INTERPRETATION OF THESE GREAT WORKS WHICH MANY REGARD AS BEING THE CLOSEST TO THAT WHICH THE COMPOSER INTENDED.

CONDITION

THE TWO LABELS HAVE NO DAMAGE AND APPEAR AS NEW.
LABELS GRADED AS NEAR MINT
THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS MARKS ON THE VINYL. CLOSE INSPECTION OF THE DISC UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT SHOWS JUST THE ODD WHISPY HAIRLINE. I HAVE LISTENED CLOSELY TO THE ALBUM IN IT'S ENTIRETY AND THERE IS VERY LITTLE TO FAULT. IT HAS BEEN PLAYED JUST A HANDFUL OF TIMES IN IT'S 63 YEARS. I HAVE OWNED IT FOR THIRTY YEARS AND HAVE PUT IT ON A TURNTABLE MAYBE THREE TIMES. THE VERY OCCASIONAL LIGHT POP AND A LITTLE BARELY AUDIBLE RUSTLE BETWEEN TRACKS IS ALL I DETECTED ON A HIGH QUALITY SYSTEM. THE SOUND IS CRYSTAL CLEAR , A SUPERB SOUNDING DISC THAT WILL NOT DISAPPOINT.
VISUAL GRADING FOR DISC IS NEAR MINT
AUDIO GRADING FOR DISC IS EXCELLENT +
THE COVER IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. IT HAS NO MAJOR FAULTS, AND REMAINS IN GREAT SHAPE. THERE IS A ONE INCH SPLIT IN THE CENTRE OF THE SPINE, NOT SURPRISING WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE WEIGHT OF THE DISC. A BIT OF DRY STICKER RESIDUE NEAR THE FRONT TOP RIGHT CORNER WHERE A TINY BIT OF THE COVER IS MISSING (SEE PICTURES). THE BACK SHOWS SOME DISC IMPRESSION MARKS BUT NOTHING MAJOR.
COVER GRADED AS VERY GOOD
THE POLYTHENE INNER IS THE ORIGINAL DECCA ISSUE. THERE ARE NO SPLITS, NICE EXAMPLE.
