Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition vinyl 2 LP Set which is a 1962 FIRST PRESSING with 4s / 2s / 2s / 2s stampers in the runout grooves and a classic recording on the RCA LIVING STEREO label featuring magnificant recordings of Symphony No. 1 and the "Choral" Symphony No. 9 composed by LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN and performed by conductor FRITZ REINER, who leads the CHICAGO SYMPHONY--the recording features a full chorus with featured soloists PHYLLIS CURTIN, FLORENCE KOPLEFF, JOHN McCOLLUM, and DONALD GRAMM. The 2 LP Set is an RCA Victor Living Stereo 1st PRESSING issue with the serial number LSC-6096 and 4s / 2s/ 2s/ 2s stampers in the runout grooves, is a Stereo issue and was made in the United States in 1962.
This LP is in SUPERB condition and the vinyl is in NEAR MINT- (Ex) condition and should play beautifully, with a few moderate scuffs and some light paper scuffs that should not significantly affect play and no other significant flaws; the deluxe gatefold cover with a 11 page booklet printed on heavy cardboard and attached to the inner gatefold is also in NM- condition with some light dustwear on the surfaces, a slight ding on the lower left spine tip, slight ringwear on the back surface, a tiny marked out name on the upper right edge of the front surface and just very light shelfwear otherwise but no other significant flaws--it's NOT a cutout!  The two ORIGINAL RCA INNER SLEEVES are included and in beautiful shape.

Please Note:  I CAN ship records outside of the United States but will need to get a weight estimate based on the final PACKAGED weight for this record--I cannot ship for the $4.00 U.S. Media Rate and the quoted International Shipping Rate may differ from the final shipping rate due to packaged weight differences so please wait to make payment until a final invoice is received. Thanks!
