[78-L] Malcolm Sargent - Messiah

[David Lennick]

I have a number of slipcase sets but I thought many of them were later 
pressings. These have the cardboard inner jackets with liner notes (and line 
drawings of beautiful people enjoying recorded entertainment, if I remember 
correctly, or is it pretty girls showing you how to slide things in and out?). 
Epic sets were in slipcases as well, and those are c. 1955.

While they were still trying to figure the format, they put out some opera sets 
in 3 individual jacketed lps held together by that crappy crackable 
leatherette, or whatever it was.
