The recording includes: Bizet: Suite "Carmen" Gounod: Ballet Suite "Faust" Performed by the Royal Opera House Orchestra, Covent Garden, conducted by Alexander Gibson. Recorded on February 10, 1959, at Kingsway Hall, London. A legendary record, no explanation needed. The US version was released as LSC2449 at full price, but the original UK version is this VICS format, which is the first pressing. The delicate high frequencies and the reproduction of depth are remarkable. Personally, I believe it surpasses the quality of the US LSC. By the way, the original LSC in the overseas market costs over 100,000 yen. Listed on the TAS list. An absolute audiophile record. Gigantic rare record.
