Joseph Haydn The Seasons Double LP Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields Neville Marriner

Joseph Haydn The Seasons Double LP Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields Neville MarrinerI just cleaned this double album on my VPI 16. 5 record cleaner and then played it on my Rega Planar Three. This is a 1981 pressing. It appears brand new with no scratches and very light surface noise only audible in quiet passages. There was some rumble on Side Four that I found annoying. You may have a higher tolerance for such things. The bulk of the album is an 8. 5 out of 10. Side Four is more like a 6. 5 MOST FORMS OF SHIPPING EXCEPT MEDIA MAIL
