NOTE: This is from my personal collection of LPs - It is a GENUINE FACTORY SAMPLE copy (potentially the first one) which once belonged to the Chairman of EMI during the early 1960's - I am a Professional Classical LP dealer and this came in a collection of Original EMI Factory Sample Mono & Stereo Classical LPs

Condition:

Record is in EX Condition - Visually there are only a few superficial non-sounding hairline surface marks - There are a couple of what appear to be nasty sounding surface marks on Side 1 (see photo) however these DO NOT sound at all !! - NEAR MINT playback with NO background surface noise !! AMAZING !!

Jacket is in EX Condition - Really clean - See scan

SUPERB COPY!

NOTE:  If you are based in London I am happy to arrange an appointment for an auditon of the LP on my high-end Hi-Fi system (based in Notting Hill, W2)
