Robert Schumann - Symphony No.4 / d-minor op.120

Berlin Philharmonics
Conducted by Wilhelm Furtwangler

Deutsche Grammophon Ges. 16 063 LP - Mono - original German 10 inch pressing - October 1953

One of the very rare early pressings

Very strict grading

Cover:
Ex++
Except for the (standard) browning of the early DGG releases, the overall condition could easily be graded as "near mint".
The ring wear is less than minimal and the gatefold sleeve is barely rubbed. It would be more than difficult to find a better copy.
The lower left corner of the back shows the printing date: 10.53 (October 1953)

Record:
Ex ++
There are few signs of any use. When I checked the surface with a magnifier I located a vinyl impurity (miniature bubble)
on side 1 that produces three soft clicks. Besides that the entire album plays "near mint".

Labels: Large tulips - "Alle Hersteller- und Urheberrechte..."
Near mint
