Beautiful early stereo copy of Nelson Riddle and His Orchestra’s “Sea of Dreams,” Capitol Records ST-915.

Originally released in 1958, Sea of Dreams is especially notable as Nelson Riddle’s first stereophonic album recording. The stereo edition was issued during Capitol Records’ very early rollout of stereo LPs in 1958.

This copy features the desirable early Capitol black/rainbow stereo label with the oval Capitol logo at the left and vertical LONG PLAYING / HIGH FIDELITY lettering — an early Capitol stereo label style used for only a relatively short period.

The album is also well known among vintage LP collectors for its striking underwater “cheesecake” cover artwork and dreamy lounge/exotica presentation.

Record is in great overall condition with a strong glossy appearance and very clean labels. Original jacket presents beautifully on the front with vivid color and the original Capitol Stereo “Full Spectrum of Sound” artwork. Back cover shows some minor age-related spotting/foxing and light storage wear consistent with a 1958 record.
