One of the great Columbia SAX collector records and, for many piano and audiophile collectors, a true holy grail.
This legendary Debussy recital by Samson François is among the most desirable piano LPs in the UK Columbia SAX catalogue. The SAX series is highly prized by collectors for its outstanding sound quality and early stereo engineering, and clean copies of SAX 2469 are exceptionally difficult to find. Columbia SAX records are widely regarded as a superb-sounding and highly collectible UK classical series.
Vinyl: NM / Near Mint Truly a “like new” record. The vinyl appears barely played, possibly completely unplayed, with a pristine glossy surface and no visible marks under strong light. Very close to Near Mint++.
Cover: VG++ / Very Good++ A beautifully preserved original UK flipback cover: clean, sharp and well cared for, a genuine collector’s example. Very close to Near Mint.
The cover is made from the classic heavy British laminated cardboard of the period — sturdy, solid, elegant and still beautifully shiny.
Why this record is special: SAX 2469 is the UK Columbia stereo issue of Samson François performing Debussy piano works. It is valued not only for rarity, but also for the combination of:
Samson François’ highly individual, poetic Debussy interpretation early UK Columbia stereo pressing the legendary SAX collector status superb piano sound and atmosphere exceptional difficulty of finding a clean copy
Collector demand is very strong!
Final note: A serious collector copy of one of the most desirable Columbia SAX piano records. Rare, beautiful and honestly graded.
International bidders welcome. Secure shipping assured.
