Witold Malcuzynski (Piano)
Witold Rowicki/ Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra
Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor
(Columbia SAX 2515 UK LP 1964)
This is an original UK Stereo pressing in great overall condition! It has a heavyweight front laminated flipback sleeve which has a large sized "Stereo" on the front. It comes with its original polythene-lined generic "EMI" company inner sleeve. The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has turquoise blue & silver "Columbia" labels. It has 1st press YAX 1049-3 and YAX 1050-3 matrix numbers.
This is a genuine UK 1st pressing of this rare UK Stereo Classical LP. In great overall condition too. I have some other rare UK Classical LP's for sale too. So please see my other listings. Don't miss out!
Sleeve: There is some mild, very mild or more moderate rubbing wear to the corner tips. There is some light, mild or very mild rubbing wear on the sleeve opening edges on some areas. This is not that noticeable. There is some light or very minor fading to the "white" of the rear sleeve. The spine is in fantastic condition. There is some light, mild or very mild ringwear on the front on some areas. This is not too noticeable. Overall, Very Good++ condition.
Vinyl: There are a few light, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs which can barely be seen under a strong light. The inner sleeve, over time, has left some light, very mild or very minor dull surface marks on some areas. These, again, can hardly be seen under a strong light. They are most visible on the dead wax areas. A strong EXCELLENT condition. The labels are in Mint condition and show no spindle wear. The company inner sleeve is in Very Good condition. There is some light, mild or more moderate ringwear, fading & creasing. There are no seam splits.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Very Good+ to Near Excellent overall, & Excellent in some places. There is some light, mild or very mild crackle in some places.
This LP would definitely benefit from a deep down groove clean in a professional record cleaning machine. Visually the disc looks in Excellent to Excellent+ condition. It still gleams like new! Therefore, any crackle is just due to deep down dirt in the grooves. It would play, I believe, Excellent+ and better after a professional clean. It would remove any crackle.

All records will be sent in high quality vinyl mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7". I use a cruciform box for larger orders (4-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 2-3 days after payment.
I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).
I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...
Sorry, I only accept Paypal, or money sent in a registered letter from overseas buyers.
