Decca SXL 2020, “Espana”, The London Symphony Orchestra, Ataulfo Argenta Conductor - includes works by Chabrier, Moszkowski, Andalusia, and Rimsky-Korsakov.  This is the Speakers Corner reissue pressed on 180 gram virgin vinyl and cut from the original master tapes. It is listed in the current TAS Super LP list and is one of the most critically acclaimed of all the early Decca LPs.   Recorded in Kingsway Hall in 1956 and 1957, the sound is stunning with amazing clarity and impact and spectacular dynamics.  The sound of this Speakers Corner reissue is dazzling with extended highs and very powerful mid and low bass.  This copy is virtually perfect – I purchased it sealed in the early 80’s, and have played it only once or twice since then.  The vinyl surfaces are clean, glossy, and exceptionally quiet with NO pops, clicks, tics, or skips - it is perfectly quiet, with NO marks at all. The vinyl looks and plays MINT (M).  The labels also look new. The jacket has a very slight bend in the upper left corner that was there when I received it (see photo), so I will grade it NM.  In summary, this is a NM copy of this wonderful audiophile reissue. Feel free to return for a full refund if not completely satisfied. International buyers, please pay shipping through eBay's Global Shipping Program.
