CURTAIN UP! GERSHWIN FAVORITES-Rhapsody in Blue-Mercury Stereo-NM-/NM Shrink LP!

Description: Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition vinyl LP and FIRST PRESSING album on the Mercury Living Presence Records label and a classic collection of recordings of three classic compositions by GEORGE GERSHWIN titled "Curtain Up! Gershwin Favorites"--the album features a performance of "Rhapsody in Blue" featuring piano soloist EUGENE LIST with conductor HOWARD HANSON and the Eastman-Rochester orchestra, "Cuban Overture" with Hanson and the Eastman-Rochester orchestra, and "An American in Paris" performed by conductor ANTAL DORATI and the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. The LP is a Mercury Records release and a 1st PRESSING and "Living Presence" STEREO issue with the serial number SR-90290; it was made in the United States in 1962. This LP is in SUPERB condition and the vinyl is in NEAR MINT- (Ex) condition and should play beautifully, with some light paper scuffs that should not significantly affect play and no other significant flaws; the cover is in NEAR MINT condition with the ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINKWRAP, partially intact with some teers in the center portions and has a tiny hole on the upper right corner of the front surface, very light dings on the opening tips and just slight shelfwear but no other significant flaws! Please Note: I CAN ship records outside of the United States but will need to get a weight estimate based on the final PACKAGED weight for this record--I cannot ship for the $5.50 U.S. Media Rate and the quoted International Shipping Rate may differ from the final shipping rate due to packaged weight differences so please wait to make payment until a final invoice is received. Thanks!
