Concerto In E Minor For Violin And Orchestra, Op. 64

This is the very first vinyl LP pressed for the (soon to be announced) "12 inch LPs" for the Columbia catalog, and is considered the first (modern) 12 inch LP ever. This LP also coincides with the 1st 10" LP that Columbia Records unveiled at a press conference in the Waldorf Astoria in June 1948. This is the first pressing, with "LONG PLAYING MICROGROOVE" on two lines, a large 'LP' logo at the bottom right and two lines of rim text and circular icons of the double quaver and microphone to the left of the text. This label appears to have stopped in September, 1948. Later versions have the "LONG PLAYING MICROGROOVE" on one line at the bottom of the labels with the 'LP' logo in the center of the text. Notes from rear jacket: This Columbia Long Playing LP Record is a modern high quality musical reproduction worthy of your special care: Always keep it away from heat and in the protective envelope.
