1992 first issue Decca Sealed from New Of Dutoit in the Tchaikovsky Pathetique. This one is scarce in any form, let alone an unplayed original!. New Old Stock, sealed in the shop some time in the 90s. If you wanted a vinyl record at this time it was a special order. The shop would check if it existed in vinyl form, and would place an order that you collected a few weeks after, as all the shop stocks were the little silver discs by then (except for dance music singles in some places). About 20 years ago I bought the complete backroom vinyl stock of a Hi Fi shop that was closing down. These were mainly well reviewed classical lps in their full priced versions, many first pressings from the 70s to the 1990s. I am now listing some of the sealed examples for the first time. These were quality control checked in the shop and then sealed in house for eventual sale, and those I have had for myself are all pristine and unmarked, flat and not off centre, playing perfectly, so were not the demonstration stock. They are mainly the late vinyl Decca's, plus some Phillips and EMI, so I have saved the best until last. All the Decca and London exports are pressed in Holland for the Uk and US markets by 1981 or 82, right through to this which is close to the end of vinyl production for UK decca for a long while. The vinyl quality is outstanding and the engineering is by the excellent John Dunkerley to this. Gorgeous readings in full spectrum sound.
