Hi, up for sale are some quality reel to reel tapes, all look to be in great condition. These came from the collection of a classical music enthusiast. Included are some very rare early stereo tapes, PLEASE SEE OUR OTHER ITEMS.
Postage is tracked and insured, happy to combine postage for multiple purchases - PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE IF BUYING MORE THAN 1 ITEM, THANKS.
This item is:
A STEREOSONIC HMV 7" reel to reel tape, boxed with insert. Mstislav Rostropovich performing Miaskovsky's Cello Concerto with Sargent conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra  Incredibly rare tape.  There was no stereo vinyl release on ASD or SAX for this recording, only the mono version on ALP. Presumably this was released around 1957 when the ALP record was released. This tape needs rewinding - printed yellow leader is on the inside of the reel.
