GSGC 4074  MAHLER: SYMPHONY No. 1     SIR JOHN BARBIROLLI / HALLE ORCHESTRA

PYE GOLDEN GUINEA   UK  1968   (recorded 1957)     BLACK & GOLD         NM /EX+

A rarity. Never seen this LP before and was unaware that Sir John had recorded this work. One of Pye's earliest stereo recordings, Pye evidently ran out of stereo sleeves and used up their stock of mono sleeves to make up the shortfall. (This also frequently happened with Philips stereo recordings - they had not printed enough sleeves for the stereo versions and bodged up a mono sleeve instead with stickers here and there).
