Description

RCA/CLASSIC RECORDS  -
"THE BRIT BOX" 
Limited Edition, Ten-Record collection (this one is among the very first copies, c.1995, with Serial Number #0146) of superbly-pressed reissues of long out-of-print British-recorded early stereo RCA's. 
Here is a brief summary of the contents:
LSC-2134: OVERTURE! OVERTURE! Raymond Agoult/London New Symphony (see The Abso!ute Sound, Issue #60, page126) 
LSC-2135: PROKOFIEV - Cinderella Hugo Rignold/Orchestra of Royal Opera House, Covent Garden; the first stereo issue with this number: it was in mono-only on RCA LM-2135 until reissued in stereo on VICS-1138). 
LSC-2225: WITCH'S BREW Alexander Gibson/London New Symphony (see The Abso!ute Sound, Issue #73, page145; Issue #75/76, page 70) 
LSC-2285: WALTON - Facade & LECOCQ - Mamzelle Angot Anatole Fistoulari/Orchestra of Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (see The Abso!ute Sound, Issue #69, page 152; Issue #75/76, pages:72-76) 
LSC-2298: BORODIN - Symphony #2;             RIMSKY-KORSAKOV - Capriccio Espagnole & Tsar Saltan March  Jean Martinon/London Symphony Orchestra  (see The Abso!ute Sound, Issue #58, page137) 
LSC-2313: VENICE  Georg Solti/Orchestra of Royal Opera House, Covent Garden [Like the original RCA issue, this has the pattern-cut, fold-open album with booklet] (see The Abso!ute Sound, Issue #75/76; page 72; Issue #77, page 140)
LSC-2322: SHOSTAKOVICH - Symphony #1 & Age of Gold Suite Jean Martinon/London Symphony Orchestra (see The Abso!ute Sound, Issue #64, page125)
LSC-2400: BALLET MUSIC FROM THE OPERA  Anatole Fistoulari/Paris Conservatory Orchestra (see The Abso!ute Sound, Issue #94, page153)
LSC-2419: DVORAK - Nine Slavonic Dances Jean Martinon/London Symphony Orchestra (see The Abso!ute Sound, Issue #81, page120)
LSC-2449: GOUNOD - Faust Ballet Music & BIZET - Carmen Suite Alexander Gibson/Orchestra of Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (see The Abso!ute Sound, Issue #75/76, page 72) 
This copy of the boxed set is mint as issued: the box comes in a plastic bag, but is not itself sealed; each individual disc, however, is FACTORY-SEALED and also has its own limited edition sticker. 
This lovely production collects sealed copies of superb pressings of ten discs which are mostly VERY scarce and much sought-after in their original issues.  The original subscription price, c.1995, was $400.

If you are bidding on more than one item on this auction, please wait for me to send you an invoice reflecting all of your winnings, which will calculate a lower shipping cost for your parcel than would be the case if each item were being shipped by itself.


Polyphony has been selling rare classical recordings by mail order worldwide since 1978!  We look forward to making many new friends with these offerings on eBay.
