RCA Living Stereo LSC 2449 Alexander Gibson and The Royal Opera House Orchestra Covent Garden perform selections from Gounod Faust and the Carmen Suite by Bizet. I've read that RCA discontinued this title shortly after releasing it, which explains its scarcity. Another sonic marvel, engineered by the UK Decca team under Ken Wilkinson. This is a 1S/1S copy. Stunning.

I have stored this lp as all my others, in plastic, sandwiched by cardboard in a dark, cool, smoke-free storage area. 
I am an experienced collector, buyer and seller and will ship with Mighty Music Mailer as it dependably protects corners and edges. It's your choice but I do not like standard boxed mailers - one drop en route and your lp jacket is permanently damaged. If you're still picky like me, special shipping requests for expensive items is available upon request.
