Here it is, an ultra rare, highly desirable:
Samson Francois A Debussy Recital (Columbia SAX 2469 UK LP 1962)
This is an original UK Stereo first pressing in excellent/nm overall condition! It's as close to pristine as I've ever seen.
The numbers: The deadwax matrix numbers are YLX 1095-21 and YLX 1096-21.
Very rare: Includes Columbia promotional insert entitled 'Outstanding records for your collection'. Leaflet code: L125/163/902513.
Condition: I haven’t seen a better looking copy of this LP on the previous sales of this particular item. Vinyl is Excellent/Near mint.
Side 2: Side 2 is in absolute pristine condition.
Side 1: There are two one-inch faint linear marks on side 1, which you can see if you hold the record on an angle, to the light. Also on side 1, there are also a couple smaller tiny lines. It was hard to take a picture of these marks but I managed to do so, for full transparency and honesty, so please look at the photo. These marks do not affect the sound.
Sound: The sound is amazing. No distortion on high volumes whatsoever, minimal noise and cracks of the vinyl itself - pretty much like new!
Cover jacket: Cover jacket shows slight signs of age as shown on photos, but no scuffs and stains, just a regular age wear which is almost 60 years!
Inner sleeve: The inner sleeve in great condition, no scratches or marks. Just a few fold marks which follow the contour of the LP.
This is a truly magical record. A real gem.
I hope it falls into the hands - and ears - of someone who could really appreciate it.
Shipping: No worries, I will ship this in rock solid packaging, inside an LP mailing sleeve, which is usually enough for shipping LPs, but which I will surround by reinforced cardboard, bubbles, etc. so that there is now way a handler could bend or deteriorate the item. I'm a collector myself and I know how frustrating it can be to get an item damaged because of poor packaging.
Good luck and happy bidding!
