LEONID KOGAN Lalo: Symphonie Espagnole / Tchaikovsky: Sérénade Mélancolique (Very rare 1960 UK first issue 6-track STEREO vinyl LP on the turquoise & silver Columbia label with YAX-305-1/YAX306-6 stamped matrices, featuring Kyril Kondrashin conducting The Philharmonia Orchesra, front laminated flipback picture sleeve. The sleeve has damage to the reverse with a 3cm section of the top right and 7cm section of the bottom middle flipback missing, along with a further tear to the top flipback; the unlaminated panel shows only moderate discolouration with the odd spot of foxing and the text all still clearly legible. The spine shows little wear and the front is clean with minimal signs of wear leaving Gerry Zwirn's photography still looking wonderful with its vibrant colours popping. The labels are bright & shiny with just a little sticker residue around the Columiba logo on Side One from a factory sample sticker that has since fallen off. The vinyl is Near Mint with a stunning reproduction which is both clear and powerful. A superb item, possibly one of the most sought-after classical recordings on vinyl! SAX2329)
