LP Vinyl Record 1955 Porgy and Bess by George Gershwin Vintage High Fidelity

George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess Vintage LP Record

This is a 33 speed, 12 inch LP high fidelity vinyl record

Produced by Columbia Records in 1955.

This is a very rare album.  It was produced when the opera was revived in New York in 1953, with singers from the New York City Center Opera and several members of the original 1935 production. 

Includes the "Buzzard Song", which is not usually included in recordings.

The cover is in excellent condition except for some surface foxing and a name written on the back.

I played the record on both sides, it sounded perfect.

Total playing time is 40 minutes.

The shipping charge includes insurance.

The soloists are Lawrence Winters, Camilla Williams, Avon Long, Inez Matthews and Eddie Matthews.
