Description

Here's a true rarity for the classical music audiophile out there. A sample pressing of a Realtime title, "The William Tell Overture", catalog # RT-204 in pristine condition. I played this LP once and I learned firsthand that it will put your audio system through its paces! Performed by the Philharmonia Hungarica Orchestra with Zoltan Rozsnyai conducting, this is a hifi enthusiasts dream recording. I don't remember ever seeing this title released in the UHQR format which was not something Realtime ever did, to my knowledge. Perhaps Mobile Fidelity was spec-ing the project and decided not to proceed(?) Who knows? All I can say is this is one marvelous recording and looks (and feels) to be a 200 gram pressing. One faint spindle mark on each side. Otherwise, there's no way of telling that it's ever even been played. Spotless labels and not one mark on either side of the vinyl surfaces. Serious bidders only, please.
