Wide Band Grooved Label "Original Recording by": first stereo pressing of these records.
Very highly acclaimed and sought after performances in a magnificently sounding stereo recording.
Included on T.A.S. ("The Absolute Sound") list ; Harry Pearson's list of super discs of great music and great sound (as Decca pressed London OSA-1309).
A wonderful set of these very highly praised and sought after performances in a magnificently sounding stereo recording.

The records show only little signs of being played , still retain a very bright sheen and the three are visually graded NM/84, 81 & 84 (see below), disc 2 has a couple of light marks which do not sound.
The pictures gives a good impression of the box, clean, robust and fully intact, a little shelf wear at the corners: NM/81.

Record Condition Grading System
I apply a visual grading system as follows:
- 90% Mint, (90% is the highest figure I give as no record is perfect)
- 80-89% Near Mint, NM almost flawless, at 85% only the lightest scuff marks to the record, slight wear to the cover; above 85% and up to 89%, there should be no marks on the playing surface of the record. Below 85%, down to 80%, there will be progressively more marking, but this will only be very light and superficial.
- 70-79% Excellent, EX, a few more light surface marks than will be seen at 80-85%, light ring wear or creasing to cover, slight tears/laminate lift to the cover. Remains of price labels or sellotape may be evident to the cover.
- 60-69% Very Good, VG, more obvious marks to the record, more obvious creasing, ring wear or laminate lift, worse tears to the cover. There may be ticks from the record but see below*.
This is a visual grading system. If I am aware of any audio problems affecting a record, such as ticks, I will provide this information in detail.
