NM+ Furtwangler / Beethoven Eroica / First Press / Urania URLP 7095 
STUNNING, ULTRA RARE ORIGINAL MONO RECORD URANIA URLP 7095 
** This Album Has Never Been Played ** 
Red Label First Pressing 1953
I carefully removed the LP half-way out of the inner sleeve for the very first time, only to capture the following dead wax stamper detail.
Stamper Side 1 - "AB" ULP-7095A
Stamper Side 2 - "AB" ULP-7095B  
This is not only the rarest Furtwangler, but one of the rarest of all classical recordings. Almost immediately after it was first issued, Furtwangler took legal action to stop the sale of the recording. The label Urania went to great lengths to reclaim all existing stock/inventory from the stores that it had already been shipped to.       Record Grading
Never Played. I carefully pulled LP out of the sleeve for the first time on 4/6/18 using white handling gloves, only to capture dead wax stamper detail.

Side 1: NM+ Never Played. E3KP-4554 "AB" ULP-7095A
Side 2: NM+ Never Played. E3KP-4555 "AB" ULP-7095A   

Jacket Grading:
NM+ I have included numerous photos from various angles to help describe the pristine quality of the outer jacket. Corners are sharp showing no aging or wear. There are no creases, split seams, yellowing or aging. No tape, adhesive residue, stickers or writing. Colors are rich and show no fading. Gloss is high.  

Overall:
If you have been patiently waiting for "THE" URLP 7095 to bid on, you have found it here. You would be hard-pressed to find a better copy of this record. Condition-wise, it is nearly perfect in every way. When you play it, your ears will be the first to hear it.  I will be sad to see this one leave my collection.   

Shipping: 
 All LPs are secured with bubble-wrap and carefully placed in proper mailers with specialized cardboard inserts for reinforcement. The LP will be shipped in its inner sleeve, stored outside of the record jacket to avoid damage in transit. Given the unique nature and rarity of this particular item, additional care & packaging will be utilized during the shipping process.  I will be happy to work with the buyer to incorporate any additional safe-guarding steps to ensure it arrives as describes.  
Note: This is an item that is out of print or considered a collectible. Returns can only be made if the item is not as described. Bidder has 7 days upon receipt to inform me.  I will issue refund once item is in hand, and confirmed to be in the exact same condition as pictured in original. Return shipping costs are the buyer’s responsibility.  My shipping is nonrefundable.  Buyer’s remorse is not covered by this return policy. 
 This record comes from my personal library. I am first and foremost a music lover & collector, NOT a dealer or bulk seller.  I am auctioning off a few choice pieces as I have run out of storage space.  The majority of the items that I sell are duplicate copies looking for a good home.  Please enjoy this music with your friends and loved ones!!
