78 rpm SP record. This is AK.2253/6 (12-inch, 4-disc set) from Decca, UK. Red label with gold lettering "ffrr", a complete first edition. Auto-changer specification. The discs have only minor paper scuffs that do not affect the sound, otherwise they are in pristine, like-new condition. The sound grooves are healthy, and there is no surface noise typical of this label, allowing for a wonderful, distortion-free sound. It is in the best possible condition. The recording is Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67". The performers are Karl Schuricht conducting the Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire de Paris. Recorded on June 13, 1949, at the Maison de la Mutualité, Paris. A masterpiece that needs no explanation. A mega-rare record.
