THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST RARITY I EVER LISTED.

PINTO’S FONOTIPIA ARE PROBABLY THE RAREST AMONG ITALIAN FONOTIPIA RECORDINGS.

(Some years ago, The Record Collector published a wonderful piece about Amelia Pinto. For those who has that number remember the correspondence between Pinto and Fonotipia ?

Pinto asking “when they will pay her royalties” and Fonotipia responding..” We can’t pay you, we sell 15 copy in three years of your records…. And so on….)

I SUPPOSE THAT NOONE OF HER RECORDINGS REACH THE NUMBER OF COPY 100

AS YOU CAN SEE THIS IS NUMBER OF COPY 2 AND 6

YOU CAN SEE THIS RECORD PROBABLY ONCE IN YOUR LIFE…. DON’T LOOSE THIS OPPORTUNITY.

ADEGUATE RESERVED PRICE.

THIS COPY IS EXTRAORDINARY CLEAN.

FEW SCUFFS BUT NO SCRATCHES OR GREYING.

CONDITION : E  

ON THE MOST IMPORTANT AUCTION THIS RECORDS START AT NO LESS THEN 700 $

4 $ on shipping cost is NOT the right cost.

Please wait my invoice before make the payment.

Shipping cost increase a lot. As you know, I’m first of all a collector, so I’m sensible about this problem. So, from now, for those bidders win only one record, I offer to hold the record for future winning auctions.

Bidder will pay only the record.

E + + A near mint copy.

E + A choice copy no wear whatsoever.

E Excellent. Virtually no trace of groove wear with only minimal traces of use and handling.

E – An above average record .

E = Record with slight degree if groove wear, but not enough to seriously detract from its audio quality.

V + + Obviously well played but still enjoyable. Noticeable greying in the grooves

V + Very well worn but listenable Expect the surface noise to be significant. There may be stressed grooves.

V Stressed grooves more pronounced.

As you know I’m a collector and on Ebay I try to list records that I could be satisfied if I was the buyer.

I try to be conservative on grading and list some important and also unknown Italian singers.
