Roberto Gerhard- The Plague- Alec McCowen (Narrator)- National Symphony Orchestra & Chorus, Washington D.C.- Antal Dorati, released by Decca Records (HEAD.6) (/ZAL.13125/6/) in 1974.  Made in England.  Includes the original fold-out insert in excellent condition.  Original Pressing!- (see photos).

*You're looking at a serious rarity here.  Roberto Gerhard's exceptional The Plague is considered to be one of the top releases on the highly exclusive & prestigious TAS list, featuring the albums with the absolute greatest sound quality.  Gerhard's composition is remarkable, combining the theatrical, dark, modern, discordant, and highly intense elements into this masterpiece.  This is part opera, part modern composition and splendidly dark & alluring.  Brilliant all-around.*

The thick Vinyl is visually-graded in VG+ condition.  When looked at under a very bright light, the record shows a very rich luster and a few, incredibly light surface marks.  This should sound like a near mint record.

The Cover is graded in VG+ condition, just showing some very minor edge & crease wear.

I consider my condition grading to be very conservative, and I strive to be very accurate.  See my full guarantee below!
