BRUCKNER SYMPHONY NO.3 IN D MINOR - GEORGE SZELL
Issue : RARE ED1 UK 1st PRESS       Label : COLUMBIA         Catalogue No : SAX 5294 

This UK rare ED1, 1st press is on the earliest red and black half moon Columbia label. It is complete with the original polylined Columbia inner sleeve and laminated flipback Patents Pending Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve. Released in 1966, the album features The Cleveland Orchestra and is the rare final release in the series.
The vinyl is in Near Mint condition. There is a sensational jet black gloss, every track gleams like new. There are a couple of wispy hairlines from the inner sleeve, but these are insignificant, the vinyl is in exceptional condition. The label is also superb, the red and black are bold and the text is immaculate. There is no spindle wear at all, just a couple of the very faintest spider marks. The label and vinyl are in fabulous condition. It is complete with the original polylined inner sleeve in Excellent condition.
The sound quality is Near Mint. The vinyl lies completely flat on the turntable and the sound is exceptionally rich and vibrant. There is superb separation and clarity, just as it was intended over 50 years ago.
The laminated sleeve is in Excellent condition. The image is sharp and the black is bold. The laminate has a superb mirrorlike gleam and the whole sleeve is flat. There are a couple of small laminate creases and very faint ring wear. The rear of the sleeve is sensational. The white is crisp and bright, the text is sharp and the flipbacks are sealed and complete. The whole sleeve is exceptionally solid and the spine is firm with clear text.
This LP is a truly sensational example of an exceptionally rare release.
