Description

I am slowly disposing my personal collection of classical records, and this is a very nice early HMV stereophonic recording as follows:


Conductor :  Thomas Beecham


Orchestra:   Orchestra National de la Radioffusion Française
Title : Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique Op.14
Label : HMV ASD 399
Release Year : 1961

Country of Manufacture : England

The vinyl is in good condition, as are the labels. The record has been carefully played by myself since adding it to my collection many decades ago, always using high quality equipment. I have just played the record right through again I can confirm that it plays well, with the excellent lush sound quality that is typical of early HMV's. Also, for an early stereo, the soundstage is very pleasing. The vinyl is nice and flat and the sleeve is in generally good condition (including the spine), as are the labels, although the sleeve does have a little age-related discolouration, mostly on the reverse.   
I have had many recordings of the "Fantastique" over the years, but this has always been the one I have come back to, both for performance and recording quality.
Shipping will be via Royal Mail Signed For.
