Description

Columbia Records stereo three disc set, deluxe edition, in hard plastic case, D3S 614, earliest gray 6 eye label discs, no "CBS" at the top of the label,  pressed in the US. 

Stravinsky conducts the Columbia Symphony Orchestra in his ballets Petroushka, DS 6184, and Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring), DS 6183.  DS was the catalog prefix for deluxe editions.  This was the first issue of these great recordings.  The individual issues came a year or two later, and have later catalog numbers, but the matrix numbers are the same.  See pics for program details.

Also included are the printed inserts which include great photos and three essays by Stravinsky, "Memories of a City" (St. Petersburg), "The Autobiography of My Residences", and "Apropos of Petrouchka", as well as "Speaking of Stravinsky" by Goddard Lieberson.  The third disc is a one sided mono disc, D 5505, containing an interview with Stravinsky, "Apropos of Le Sacre"

Discs NM-, a few harmless faint sleeve scuffs.  The box is intact, and has the sticker on the spine, which is often missing.  Even the plastic tab that secures the box is intact.  There are the inevitable surface hairlines on the box, but not too bad.  The inserts are clean, in nice shape.
