VICS 1039  TCHAIKOVSKY: PIANO CONCERTO No. 1    EMIL GILELS / CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA 

RCA  UK 1965   recorded in 1955    DECCA PRESSED GROOVED PLUM & SILVER     1G / 1G   (mastered by Ted Burkett)      NM / EX+

This recording is something of an enigma. Never released on LSC, it appeared in mono only on LM 1969 in 1955 and was not released in stereo (on Victrola) until 1963 and must be one of the early 'experimental' stereo recordings made by RCA beginning in 1954.
