Description

This is the one, the TAS grail. UK press Decca SXL 2020 Ataulfo Argenta - Espana. Highly rated on the TAS list, one of the most coveted classical records out there. Everything indicates this to be a 1958 first pressing, including the matrix #'s, but mysteriously it has no blueback.... the theory is because is this was part of the last run of 1st pressings right at the switch from blueback to no blueback. That would make this particular pressing the rarest of the 1st pressings. 
Matrix #
Side 1: ZAL-3521-7E 
Side 2: ZAL-3522-4E 
--------------------------------------------------
Vinyl Condition: EX (Graded under bright light extremely conservatively, micro paper scuff, very "shiny" with that almost brand new luster, this is a great copy!) 
Cover Condition: VG+ (typical UK cover, very decent shape) 
Year: 1958


Grading Scale: Still Sealed "SS", NM, EX, VG+, VG, VG-, G+, G, Poor (I typically don't sell anything below a vinyl graded VG- unless the rarity demands it)

***This week we have a variety of rare TAS, Classical, Living Stereo and Audiophile records+++
IMPORTANT: All grading is done conservatively under a bright light (I have sold in the past with different enterprises such records as Michael Rabin, Janos Starker, Milstein Boxsets, Living Stereos, and others with no problem, I understand accurate grading is paramount, and all items are guaranteed)****

Important:
Payment is due within 3 days of purchase, I'm very reasonable, so if for whatever reason it will take you longer just send me a message and we'll work it out!
Dust is not typically factored into grading
All Items are originals unless otherwise denoted (if it is a reissue, which is uncommmon for me to sell, it will be very clear and apparent) 
Packing is done industry standard, high quality LP mailers, with sturdy packaging, I haven't had a single damaged package! 
Grading is done under a bright light to get a composite grade that is accurate.
All items are guaranteed, and returnable.
I combine shipping, if is more then 3 items please message me so I can find the best price for you.
International buyers please wait to pay until I set shipping. My goal is to make it as cost-effective and transparent for everyone.
