Rare opportunity to acquire a complete set of the outstanding 2011 Optimal GmbH pressed single sided test pressings of Coup d’Archet’s 

Johanna Martzy Radio Recordings, all cut at Abbey Road Studios in 100% analogue, directly from the master tapes using the original EMI

metal mothers (with the exception of COUPSP 01 of course).  

This was Coup's final authorised cut, never to be repressed.  The collection is presented in two linen bound slipcases. The two cases 

contain the 18 single-sided audiophile pressed discs in poly-lined inners and nine individually labelled white card master bags.  All are 

mint condition, unplayed.  The Mozart sonata, KV 454, was unique to this collection.  There are no photos of the discs because I know 

them to be factory mint and I don't want to subject them to in-and-out of the bag wear.  I'm sure you will understand and appreciate :)

Release jackets NOT provided, so will make a nice companion set for those who bought that set in 2011, but there will be a little extra 

little something for the collectors.  Any questions, please ask.
