Description

I am selling some of my collection of classical records most of which are high grade.

This is Sir Thomas Beecham conducting the Royal Philharmonic orchestra in a famous and celebrated 1950's performance of Handel's "Solomon". The condition is superb-- lovely glossy vinyl with just light surface marks on sides 3 and 4 with some occasional crackle but no jumps or clicks. The sleeves are excellent with some small abrasions especially at lower right on record One (visible in the photograph) but otherwise they are lovely with bright colour to the fronts and nice white turn-back rears; good glossy lamination; and nice crisp white original inner sleeves.

These very early pressings have matrix numbers 1G/1A/1G/1G.

I think you will like these records as much as I do: but if you don't agree you may return it for a full refund.
I will send it to the successful bidder securely packed ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD insured and tracked. For European buyers postage £8, Far east, USA and elsewhere £12.50.

Look out for more rare recordings in high grade which I am disposing of. All are part of a personal collection of 1950s,1960s and early 1970s Classical LPs ; most are in excellent or better condition; including several rarities and first pressings, mainly Decca SXLs, EMI ASDs, Angel, and Mercury Living Presence Stereo: De Vito, Kertesz, Oistrakh, Beecham etc. I am happy to receive wants lists if there is something you are particularly looking for.

I will be listing numbers of them individually throughout the next two weeks or so. So please review my other listings from time to time. They must go and are sold without reserve.

I grade according to Record Collector Magazine standards and I think you will like these recordings as much as I do; but if you don't, and you are not completely satisfied then everything is returnable.
