Description
ESPANA! - ATAFULFO ARGENTA CONDUCTING THE LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA - DECCA SXL 2020. CAPRICCIO ESPAGNOL, OP.34 (RIMSKY-KORSAKOV), ANDALUZA (GRANADOS), ESPANA (CHABRIER), SPANISH DANCES (MOSZKOWSKI). THIS FAMOUS AND CELEBRATED TRUE AUDIOPHILE RECORDING HAS THE BLUEBACK COVER AT A NICE VG++ WITH A BIT OF CRINKLE TO THE LAMINATE AND SOME MINOR WEAR ALONG THE OPENING. THERE'S A BIT OF FLAKING TO THE LAMINATE B/C AND THE ORIGINAL STORE STICKER STILL ADHERED TRC. THE VINYL IS VISUALLY GRADED VG+ WITH SOME LIGHT SCUFFING HERE AND THERE. THE LABELS ARE GRADED VG+ WITH MANY LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS FOCUSED AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE, INDICATING A LOT OF PLAY. REST OF THE LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN.
PLAYBACK HOVERS BETWEEN VG AND VG+, BUT WE WILL CALL IT VG (VERY GOOD) TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE. THERE IS UNDERLYING LOW NOISE ON MOST OF THE QUITE PASSAGES, OCCASIONAL TICKING AND TWO MEDIUM POPS SIDE TWO, TRACK 3 AT THE BEGINNING. THERE IS THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT POP AS WELL. OVERALL THE EXTRANEOUS NOISE IS NOT VERY DISTRACTING NOR IRRITATING AND IT IS NOT AT ALL NOTICEABLE DURING THE LOUD, DYNAMIC PASSAGES. DECENT, ENJOYABLE LISTENING ORIGINAL COPY OF AN INCREDIBLE RECORDING (AND LONG TIME CHAMP ON THE ABSOLUTE SOUND LIST)!!!!
STAMPER SIDE ONE ENDS WITH 7E. STAMPER SIDE TWO ENDS WITH 4E. THIS HAS THE ORIGINAL. LINED DECCA INNER. THIS RECORD WOULD BENEFIT GREATLY FROM A GOOD SPIN ON AN RCM. SELDOM WILL WE LIST A RECORD WITH SUCH A LOW GRADE AS VG, BUT THIS COPY IS STILL QUITE ENJOYABLE EVEN AT SUCH A LOW GRADE.
Recording: December 1956 and January 1957, Kingsway Hall, London by Gordon Parry / Production: Erik Smith
