Description

LAST REDUCTION IN PRICE!! 
A chance to own this very rare double classical album from Paul McCartney with the London Symphony Orchestra.
Recorded in 1997, it is a double album packaged as a box set and also contains a gloss laminated CD size perfect bound mini booklet as part of the presentation. The albums are packed in 12" matt laminated sleeves and appear very good. I'm unable to say 'mint' as it isn't in it's original shrink wrap nor have I played it in order to listen/verify.
The box itself is generally pretty clean and is gloss laminated but has some minor corner wear in places (see all the pictures).
I was lucky enough to buy this as part of a job lot from an auction.

From Wicki.... Standing Stone is Paul McCartney's second full-length release of original classical music (coming after 1991's Liverpool Oratorio) and was issued shortly after Flaming Pie's release in 1997. The world premiere performance was held at The Royal Albert Hall on 14 October 1997.

Following up on 1991's Paul McCartney's Liverpool Oratorio, the Standing Stone project was composed out of a long poem McCartney authored and was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Lawrence Foster at EMI's Abbey Road Studios. Unlike Liverpool Oratorio, this new project is not an operatic performance of a story, but an instrumental one, though it employs the use of a choir.

The cover for the album is actually one of the many photos taken by Linda McCartney during late 1969/early 1970 that would initially be seen on the inside gatefold cover of Paul's first album McCartney. Incidentally, this project was her husband's last release before Linda died of breast cancer on 17 April 1998, having been diagnosed almost three years earlier.


I have not played this but it looks in a good condition and the albums are clean and have no obvious finger marks on them, the vinyl looks a deep colour throughout and there are no surface marks at all.
This is a very important piece for the McCartney collector or lover and is very difficult to get hold of, especially on vinyl. I've therefore had to start this at a high price to reflect it's rarity.
You will see from my other feedback that I do try and be as informative and truthful as possible about my sales.
It will need to be sent via a tracked, signed for and insured delivery service. Alternatively you can pay and collect in person if you wish at a convenient time. I'm in North London. 
Please wait for the invoice from myself prior to paying and I'll confirm the cost and service then.
Thanks and happy bidding!
