Arturo Delmoni With Meg Bachman Vas SONATAS OF FRANCK AND FAURE' - North Star Records' incredibly rare vinyl LP featuring virtuoso violinist Arturo Delmoni, IMPOSSIBLE to find on vinyl, and this copy is SEALED and Near Mint! IN THE ROOM sonics. Mr. Delmoni is very well known in audiophile circles, and in particular, this album and "Songs My Mother Taught Me" are on most short-lists for all-time great violin/piano recordings. 
AND SPEAKING OF WHICH, THERE IS MORE: Included with this auction is a free, used copy of the legendary "Songs My Mother Taught Me" (John Marks Records, second pressing 180gm LP pressed at RTI). I had decided to offer this particular LP here on eBay, and when I started to Play-Grade the entire album to prepare it for auction I discovered that track 4 skips. This is a pressing error (owing to high quality cartridges and LP cleanings EVERY play, my LPs almost always sound just as they did the first play). Based on the tracks I played through, the LP is generally a strong EX, but there is incidental surface noise and occasional ticks...not a perfect pressing (back in the 80's and 90's you usually needed to go to Japan to find such perfect vinyl, imo) but the sonics are STUNNING and the LP is very listenable. AND IT'S FREE!
IMPORTANT: Now, back to the Franck and Faure' album actually being sold here...The front upper right corner has a very small crease, and front lower left corner has an even smaller one. Pictures 4 through 11 show closeups of each corner of the LP from: Front Top Left to Top Right to Bottom Left to Bottom Right, and then in the same order for the rear.

Now's your chance to get this LONG out of print rarity at a fair market price! Along with a bonus rarity!

NOTE: The outer shrink wrap tends to reflect the image of the overhead ceiling fixture. If you see a round white/blue circle on the cover, that is the reflection. 

ABOUT SHIPPING AND HANDLING: Please note there is a $3 fee included in Ebay's estimate of Media Mail shipping costs. I believe the best way to way to ship an LP includes a 13"x14"x3" "pizza" style box, 12"x12" cardboard flats, outer shopping bag, and bubble wrap. The shipping boxes alone cost me over $3 each, and the average total cost of shipping materials is around $4.72, so this is NOT a money-maker for me. However, it does ensure, consistently, that these high value LPs arrive safely. Please check my feedback and I think you'll see that buyers appreciate the care with which these precious artifacts are handled. 

COMBINED SHIPPING: I am more than happy to combine shipping. Ebay buyers pay the actual postage costs. If a single LP is purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $3 for shipping materials. If two LPs are purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $3 for shipping materials. If three or more LPs are purchased, the buyer pays actual postage and $0 for shipping materials (I will absorb the cost of materials). As the final amount can only be calculated after auctions have ended, I will issue the appropriate refund on the day the LPs are shipped. 

About Me: I'm a long time Ebay buyer intent on selling a significant portion of my LP collection over the next year or two (or three!). I believe in the auction process, so I'm NOT going to list records at absurdly high prices, and I look forward to getting rare, out of print records into the hands of music lovers, record collectors and audiophiles (I consider myself all of the above). All LPS stored in a smoke-free, climate controlled environment. 

Please check my feedback and BID WITH CONFIDENCE. Also, please take a look at other items I'm listing (new items will be listed on Sunday and Wednesday nights), and good luck! 

PayPal Payments Only. Payment required within 3 days after the end of auction. All records will ship USPS Media Mail.
