TAS list EMI SLS 834 Tchaikovsky Nutcracker ASD 2849-50

Box condition Near Mint minus, 2LP's NEAR MINT minus.

Fantastic cover art, I don't know whether it popart or psychadelic early 70's but it sure is eye catching (matches the ear catching sound quality.)

Forget the Very Expensive Decca SXL 2092-3 issue, THIS is where the sound quality is AT!!!!!.

RARE TAS Listed Audiophile recording. (TAS = The Absolute Sound Magazine, list of recordings most desireable as deemed by internal audio reviewers including Harry Pearson, who also has his own list)  Beware when checking the copy of the TAS list I have seen, they misquote the stock number as SLS 832, not 834, so maybe not many people find it for that reason.

ALL 4 sides wet washed, treated with LAST preservative and FULLY TEST PLAYED, all 4 sides REPRODUCE NEAR MINT SOUND QUALITY.  I can't even see paper scuffs in bright light on these ones!!!!  No repetitive tics or other damage related noise, only the very occasional normal vinyl related reproduction tic, and not repetetive, and very very infrequently.
 

  This will make a great purchase for someone wanting a copy of these rare Tchaikovsky recordings, conducted by Andre Previn played by the London Symphony Orchestra.

Extremely rare UK 1972 edition on 2 LP's HMV box set SLS 834 (records also numbered as ASD 2849-50) First Label, Black and white Band ).

For regular readers of my listings, this set is the only one I have seen in ausralia, and I have seen a lot of records....
