FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
This is the Dutch Philips issue 835 152 AY in stereo. No release year is printed on the record.

Why does the sleeve say "Oistrach" rather than "Oistrakh"?
"Oistrach" is the German transliteration of the Russian name; internationally "Oistrakh" is more common. Both refer to the violinist David Oistrakh.

What does media NM- / sleeve NM- mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means almost like new with only minimal signs of use. All grades are explained in our Vinyl Grading guide.
