Absolutely gorgeous copy of the rare original 1951 first edition of the Musical Gems album by Korla Pandit. It is the first edition, on 4 78rpm records, which was issued before the LP and before the 45 set. This is the first issue, and one of the very first records Korla ever made. Amazing, hypnotic pipe organ music leading the world into the “exotica” era of the 50s. He was one of the first, along with Les Baxter and Yma Sumac. This is truly a treasure of a record from that era, and an incredible copy. All four discs are very nearly pristine and play just perfectly and truly beautifully. There are a few surface scuffs but really not much at all. Really beautifully clean and shiny, rarely played discs. The cover is also just gorgeous. There is a bit of edge and corner rubbing but not much at all. The lower right corner and lower edge are rubbed a bit but the rest is quite beautifully clean. The spine is untorn and perfectly readable and the wonderful image is clean and clear. Really a beautiful, beautiful top copy. Near impossible to beat.
