  2. My Dad bought this when it came out as it was a 'stereo demonstration' lp. One of the best and certainly an amazing thing when it came out and has warm memories for me! Do you have any of the early Decca Phase 4 lps?

    1. Hi Paul.
      Glad to hear that the memories are strong for this set. I have a bunch of Decca Pase 4 LP's. Which LP's are you interested in?
      Cheers.

  4. This lp appeared in the states as a 'Blue back' most of the London Blue Backs ( Powder Blue Colour back) are considered as very desirable items by the audiophile community., specially Earnest Ansermet ( one of the few artists) who did a great service to the label. I must have walked 'million miles' in search of these, as well as when I was a student in the UK to Oxford street HMV for good ol' Decca SXL/ Columbia SAX stereos. ... Thanks Butter.
