HANDEL ORGAN CONCERTOS VOL 1 KARL RICHTER DECCA SXL 2115 EX / EX 1ST 1E / 1E LP HANDEL ORGAN CONCERTOS VOL 1 KARL RICHTER DECCA SXL 2115 EX / EX 1ST 1E / 1E LP

You are looking at Handel Organ Concertos Vol 1 (Op. 4 Nos. 1 2 3 4)  performed by Karl Richter with the Karl Richter Chamber Orchestra.  This is the rarer, higher fidelity Decca SXL deep groove pressing. It is a first (1e / 1e) pressing - see full matrix 3s below. Includes its clean original Decca poly lined inner sleeve. Play tested a few tracks. See full info below. 

This lp was carefully cleaned with a Spin-Clean Record Washer system. Vinyl and outer sleeve were then placed in a new poly outer sleeve for added protection. Will be shipped in a sturdy recorder mailer with cardboard pads. Ships for free in the U.S. with USPS Media Mail. 

Vinyl Condition (I use Goldmine Grading Guide Standard): EX/ Excellent. This lp was found in its original poly lined inner sleeve and the lp has the look of vinyl that has been stored in a poly sleeve - just a little cleaner with more brilliance to the gloss than lps stored in paper sleeves. Both sides have nice gloss and look clean. There are a few minor, unfeelable surface marks and sleeve scuffs that can only be seen well when held under a bright light source. I play tested several sections of this lp. It has, in my opinion, the superior sonics of a period Decca SXL first pressing. Certain sections sounded just stunning with great clarity that you would expect from a Decca SXL pressing from this period. This lp has nice sonics but it also has some background noise that never overpowers the music and is heard especially in the quieter movements. No loud pops, no skips, no jumps and no hiccups. Both labels are very crisp and very clean - please see images. 

Outer Sleeve Condition: EX / Excellent. Presentable. Front and back covers have nice gloss and the artwork and text on the back look clean. No noticeable ring wear, no split seams, no creases, no bending, no tears, no water / humidity damage, no writing. Has price sticker on reverse side. Has slight discoloration running along the right edge of the front cover and the opposite left edge of the back cover - see images. Has minor shelf wear along edges and at corners.
