It's funny. But i honestly didn't realize i bought a Mono Version of this Symphony. I thought it was the Stereo Release. However, it plays wonderfully...maybe it's because it's performed by the Aristocrat of American Symphony Orchestras. The Boston Symphony Orchestra under the Legendary Charles Munch....Hearing this work conducted by Munch brings back found memories of that era i lived through. The Record is in Magnificent Condition as well as the Sleeve. Somewhat packed well for shipping. A++++
