Background - This STEREO LP is very rare. It features music written by Britten and Tippett and performers include Yehudi Menuhin and Rudolf Barshai conducting the Bath Festival Orchestra and Moscow Chamber Orchestra. Superb performances throughout! The LP was made in the UK / England / Great Britain and the recording was released in 1973, recorded in 1963 and 1965. As this was an "export" item from the UK, the gold ODEON sticker has been affixed over the record labels and jacket (see pictures). This item is in remarkable condition given it's age (see below for details).

CONDITION Details: The LP jacket is in near mint minus condition! The jacket has NO seam splits. The corners and seams are solid, with very light shelf wear noticeable at the corners and seams. The colors on the jacket are sharp - superb collectors grade condition for both the jacket and vinyl (see pictures with this listing as they are of the actual item). The LP is in near mint minus condition! We found that the vinyl looked superb on this vintage LP. There are no significant marks and the LP retains much of the original gloss and sheen - there may be some very light spider marks on the vinyl, caused by sliding the LP in and out of the inner sleeve. There may be some dust and the odd finger print on the vinyl. There are NO serious spindle marks on the record labels. That said, acquiring a vintage LP like this is for the performance and rarity of the LP, not necessarily for the sound quality. A Short Note About LP GRADING - Mint {M} = Only used for sealed items. Near Mint {NM} = Virtually flawless in every way. Near Mint Minus {NM-} = Item has some minor imperfections, some audible. Excellent {EXC} = Item obviously played and enjoyed with some noise. Very Good Plus {VG+} = Many more imperfections which are noticeable and obtrusive.

For best results, always properly clean your LPs before playing them.

The LP is an audiophile quality pressing (any collector of fine MFSL, half speeds, direct to discs, Japanese/UK pressings etc., can attest to the difference a quality pressing can make to an audio system).

Don't let this rarity slip by!!!
