ABC Paramount Records USA - Mono LP

Very rare LP has VALENTINO playing the soft melodic piano and backing of the orchestra, but all popular songs from the 50's here have origins in classical music, as nicely explained in text on back cover. Tchaikovsky, Debussy and others have served as source & inspiration for "adaptations" done by modern composers in then current 50's. Classic CHEESECAKE COVER!

-- CONDITION: I play all vinyl before selling! My grading is visual and audio! My description is accurate and photos show all!

- VINYL: surface looks very nice, used with care, little bit warped but cleaned and tested plays good.

- SOUND : Superb clean sound! Plays beautifully, I had a nice smooth play with absolutely minimal ticks heard, and no skips! EX sound!

- ARTWORK: Cover is as seen on photos. Hard paper holds very good, only name written on top back, rest fine. Original inner sleeve included. VG++

- My comment: WIPE GOOD BEFORE PLAY, as static dust causes skips, mainly at starts of each side! [unexpected skips possible due to sensitive vinyl and moving static dust.]

Please expect all old vinyl to include some cracking sound at the beginning of each side! Some vinyl could be dusty even after I cleaned it, dust produces the cracking sound. IF VINYL IS WARPED AND STILL PLAYS FINE that is included in description. I TRY TO CATCH ALL SKIPPING ON RECORDS! ALL prices are reasonable and include some memorabilia value. Sound is better on vinyl than new digital media. If you have a professional turntable the sound will be better, with toy players skipping is more expected!
