LABEL: 1958 London Records CS 6059 UK Stereo







​SOUND GRADE: NM / M- / VG+ / VG

Stunning playback, very crisp and clear, not muted or dull at all, loud. This record will only need the lightest of cleaning if at all, even lead-ins and dead spaces are nice. At no point did I get any unwanted noise other than a hint of surface. No loud pops, clicks or skips of any kind. Ricci is really presented well here and the recording puts him forward. You will not be disappointed in this one, nice pressing.
