OTTO KLEMPERER, Conductor


COLUMBIA STEREO SAX 5281-2
- RED-SEMI CIRCLE 1ST LABEL 1967 (the blue-silver label edition does not exist);
- "Made in Great Britain" at six O' clock;
- 2 LP SET;
- laminated front, flip-back sleeve;
- original generic EMI-hmv poly-lined inner.

VINYL: EX/VG+ and NM-

Please, note: I have play graded both the records with an Hi-End system (EMT TDS 15 pick up, EMT 950 turntable, McIntosh C220 tube preamplifier and MC 2102 tube amplifier, Tannoy Westminster loudspeakers).

- The surfaces are shiny and WITHOUT scratches or scuffs in any way (maybe need to be washed);

- I would grade record 1 and side 3 record 2 as VG+/EX (they have an annoying background noise);

- side 4 of record 2 is NM- (only 2 ticks at the beginning, then NM).

SLEEVE: NM-/EX+

- solid structure, no writing or stickers, no splits, a few little age spots, almost perfect.

- inner: clean, intact without splits, no creasing.
