'London Stereo' recordings of the mid-1960's  (affectionately known among the collectors as 'bluebacks' for their distinct pale blue back covers) were 'London' record's audiophile response to such analogue, audiophile masterpieces of the late 50's and early 60's , such as RCA's 'Living Stereo' or Mercury's 'Living Presence'. One look (literally speaking) at the grooves of these records and you will immediately realize that these are not your ordinary recordings: the sheen on the surface of the record is intense, the grooves are full and well defined and the London records did not waste their time pressing the records on an inferior vinyl: this is a solid, almost half-a pound slab of hi-grade, low carbon vinyl that in this day and age would have been called 'virgin' vinyl. These recordings - mostly classical, but also some easy listening, soundtrack and original cast - were made under the supervision of the most knowledgeable technicians and engineers on earth. 'London' after all, was an affiliate of Decca records, which for many years was a pioneer in the record-making business.

THIS IS A NO-RESERVE AUCTION!

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          THE VINYL IS ABSOLUTELY, PERFECTLY MINT,  as if never played before. The original luster is totally intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles like brand new. The labels look perfect, simply gorgeous, with absolutely no trace of wear around the spindle hole. The record is TOTAL PERFECTION - ABSOLUTE VISUAL NIRVANA! We are confident that, in this condition, the record we present here is truly once-in-a-lifetime find.

(b)          The records are STILL in their original poly-lined stock inner sleeves, which have - apparently with success - shielded the vinyl from the harmful impact of elements over many years!

(c)           The records have a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings).

(d)            The records are pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER (box)

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT EXCELLENT OR VERY GOOD+++.

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        The box  has some minor wear along the binding on spine, but no splitting (yet)
