BRAHMS 'SYMPHONY NO. 4 IN E MINOR, OP. 98' 1959 STEREO LP.

 OTTO KLEMPERER

Conducting

THE PHILHARMONIA ORCHESTRA. 

Pressed in Great Britain and released on SAX 2350.

 

Turquoise & Silver ED1, 1st. press label.

Play grades as EX-/VG.

 

On both sides all passages play clearly & brightly.

 

There are no sticks, jumps or skips and no evidence of any groove wear at all. However there are a few quiet tics and pops in the quieter first half of side 1, band 2. 

About 60 seconds after the start of side 2 there is a tic that repeats about 7 times. Also there is a repeating tic in the middle of band 2 which continues for about 120 seconds although it disappears behind the louder sections of the music.

 

When tilted under normal lighting side 1 has a couple of light surface marks which are a few cms. long, while side 2 has a light scratch that runs across 3/4 of the side at about 11 o'clock as well as a couple of surface marks that are also a few cms. long.

 

When tilted under halogen lights both sides do have a few light marks visible.

 

Front laminated 3-flipback Garrod & Lofthouse patents pending sleeve grades as EX.

 

The unlaminated rear has light age browning.

 

Poly-lined EMI inner sleeve grades as EX.

I USE RECORD COLLECTOR GRADINGS AND USE A +/- WHERE I FEEL THAT IT'S APPROPRIATE.

I combine items to reduce p&p cost so if you purchase more than one item please wait for my invoice before making payment.

ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK.

 

I dispatch records in brand new, bought in mailers designed for the process. Before placing in the mailer I take LPs out of the sleeve place both in a polysleeve and between two card stiffeners and if there is a picture sleeve I place the LP in a plain sleeve to prevent knifing of the picture sleeve. [all this costs £0.80/single LP].
