Original Cast – Side By Side By Sondheim (Vintage 1976 Australian 2-LP Gatefold Set)
This is an original 1976 Australian double-album pressing of the celebrated musical revue Side By Side By Sondheim, released on the RCA Red Seal label.
Catalog Number: VRL2-0156 (RCA Records)
Media Condition: Good Plus (G+)
Both vinyl records show multiple fine surface scratches, hairline marks, and light handling scuffs consistent with standard vintage play over the decades. However, both discs have been fully play-tested from start to finish. They play through completely fine without any skips, jumps, or sticking. Expect some typical vintage background surface noise and light crackle during quieter theatrical passages, but they deliver a completely solid and enjoyable listening experience. Labels are clean.

Sleeve Condition: Good Plus (G+)
The original gatefold jacket remains visually clean with bright graphics, clear typography, and a legible spine. The panels are complete with no heavy tears or ink writing. Please note that the factory glue binding along the outer seams has naturally dried out and separated over time. The cardboard panels remain clean and untorn, meaning they can easily be re-glued with a standard adhesive or left flat as a display piece.
Shipping and Packaging
The records will be packaged securely inside a dedicated cardboard 12-inch vinyl mailer. To prevent edge damage and seam splits during transit, both vinyl discs will be removed from the main gatefold jacket and placed in clean paper sleeves for the journey. Tracked shipping is provided.
