ULTRA RARE RCA SORIA LDS-6065 SHADED DOG 2 RECORD SET.....THE ROYAL BALLET GALA PERFORMANCES, CONDUCTED BY ERNEST ANSERMET.
THIS IS A 1957 DEEP GROOVE, 1ST US PRESSING WITH THE FOLLOWING STAMPERS: SIDE 1: 4S, SIDE 2: 1S, SIDE 3: 1S, SIDE 4: 1S....THESE ARE ALL HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER VERY EARLY INDIANAPOLIS STAMPERS.
THE SLIP CASE HAS GATHERED SOME LIGHT STAINING / DISCOLORATION FROM HANDLING THRU THE YEARS. IT IS STILL VERY NICE AND I HAVE MADE NO ATTEMPT TO CLEAN IT. THE REAR UPPER CORNER HAS A SMALL SPLIT AND THERE IS ALSO A 3" SPLIT OF THE UPPER FRONT CORNER WHERE THE RECORDS SLIDE IN. 
THE INNER CASE HAS SOME CRACKING DOWN THE SPINE ON BOTH SIDES BUT IS IN OVERALL VERY NICE CONDITION.
THIS SET COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL 24 PAGE BOOKLET AND SUMMARY SHEET. THE BOOKLET HAS SOME MINOR FOXING ON THE COVER AND ALSO A SMALL AMOUNT ON SOME INNER PAGES. PLEASE EXAMINE THE PROVIDED PICTURES OF BOTH THE BOOK AND SUMMARY SHEET CLOSELY. 
GRADING SCALE FOR THESE LP's WILL FOLLOW STRICT GOLDMINE STANDARDS: UNMARKED = NEAR MINT, 1 - 2 VISIBLE SUPERFICIAL MARKS OR RUBS = VG++, MAY HAVE A FEW VERY SMALL, NON FEELABLE, VISIBLE SUPERFICIAL MARKS OR RUBS ONLY VISIBLE UNDER HIGH DIRECT LIGHT AND CLOSE INSPECTION = VG+.....PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THIS IS A VERY STRICT AND CONSERVATIVE SCALE I AM USING TO GRADE THIS PRIZED SET. THESE RECORDS HAVE BEEN VISUALLY GRADED ONLY. EACH SIDE WAS WIPED WITH A LIGHTLY DAMPENED RECORD CLEANING CLOTH BEFORE INSPECTION UNDER VERY BRIGHT DIRECT LIGHT. 
GRADES: SIDE 1 = VG+, A VERY CLEAN SIDE WITH ONLY 3 LIGHT 1/4" SUPERFICIAL HAIRLINE MARKS VISIBLE UNDER INTENSE DIRECT LIGHT.
SIDE 2 = VG++, AN EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN SIDE WITH ONE HAIR THIN SMALL 1/4" MARK VISIBLE UNDER INTENSE DIRECT LIGHT.
SIDE 3 = VG++, ANOTHER EXCEPTIONAL SIDE WITH ONLY ONE SMALL MARK VISIBLE ONLY UNDER VERY CLOSE EXAMINATION.
SIDE 4 = VG+, A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF SUPERFICIAL MARKS CAN BE SEEN WHEN CLOSELY INSPECTING THIS SIDE. THE SMALL SUPERFICIAL MARKS ARE VERY HARD TO DETECT BUT CAN BE SEEN IF THE RECORD IS INSPECTED UNDER A HIGH WATT LIGHT BULB.
THIS IS A VERY NICE COPY OF THIS EXTREMELY RARE 2 LP SET......YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!
GRADING IS CONSERVATIVE AS ALWAYS. I HAVE SEEN MANY SELLERS LATELY MAKING STATEMENTS SUCH AS "THE RECORD HAS A FEW MINOR MARKS AND RUBS" THEN THEY CALL IT NEAR MINT. I WILL NOT DO THAT. THIS RECORD HAS BEEN VISUALLY GRADED IN AN HONEST FASHION USING AN ACTUAL GRADING SCALE.....BID WITH CONFIDENCE AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME.
