This is the legendary first red seal RCA stereo record, being one of the first stereo tapes ever made by RCA on March 8, 1954. It is rated 10++ on Mitchell's list of RCAs. It's done by the same recording team that produced LSC-1817 Gaite Parisienne and LSC-1893 Daphnis & Chloe. Full dynamic sound, superb soundstage. At the beginning you can clearly hear the low tones of the organ - and recognize that it is an organ! It produces a real concert hall experience, one of the great RCAs! No noticeable spindle marks, fabulous condition record. And of course it is on the TAS Superlist.
Records are play graded
Record looks clean and shiny, light spindle marks, no scratches, very faint scuffs. Record plays throughout nice and quiet, occasional few odd tics, but otherwise a very nice copy!
A clean bright cover, with original first pressing pink pastover sticker. No seam splits, original inner sleeve.
