Vinyl plays with occasional crackles (play-graded). Cover looks great; a few creases near edges; light-scuffing, discoloration spots, and surface impressions (front/back); tiny surface abrasions on front; slight discoloration on back. Inner-sleeve is original (generic white). Spine is easy-to-read with mild-wear. Minor shelf-wear along top-edge; bottom-edge is almost completely split. Wear to corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
Arthur Fiedler was an American conductor known for his association with both the Boston Symphony and Boston Pops orchestras. With a combination of musicianship and showmanship, he made the Boston Pops one of the best-known orchestras in the United States. Fiedler was sometimes criticized for over-popularizing music, particularly when adapting popular songs or editing portions of the classical repertoire, but he kept performances informal and sometimes self-mocking to attract a bigger audience.
