Eduard Van Beinum - Le Sacre du Printemps: 4 x 12" 78rpm Decca 1727-30: VG+ to E.
Le Sacre Du Printemps  [The Rite of Spring]  by Stravinsky : The Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam conducted by Eduard Van Beinum. Recorded in the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam.
The records are all VG+ to E. They all show signs of having been played and there are a few light scratches and scuffs, however, the scratches are very light and we would suggest they might have been made by a stylus rather than a steel needle. The gradings are visual, although we played sides 1 & 2 on an HMV Cabinet model with a new very soft needle and the reproduction was fine with no clicks or noticeable surface noise.
