I have a 1s 1s copy of this, it is absolutely spectacular. I haven’t heard a lower matrix copy, but IF you can pick up the 1s 1s then you will have a treasure, IMO. The 1s 1s is a demo quality disc for string tone, Szeryng’s violin is in the room with you!
I saw this LP yesterday (7/28/2012) at Shady Dog Records in Berwyn, PA for $44.00. Out of my price range, so I didn’t check the matrix #. Here’s a link to the store’s website: http://www.shadydog.com/ They are usually reliable in their grading but the website inventory isn’t always up to date.

The 1s 1s version is superb and IF you can find one jump on it. The string tone is second to none in the whole catalog, IMHO.

I don’t have any copies of this record! Need to find the 1s1s, apparently. Any idea how many are out there?
No idea how many are out there, I have only seen one in nearly 20 years of collecting, and that’s the one I own.
