Please see my other listings for more classical and audiophile gems. I have a fine selection in this week's auction, as well as several that are available for immediate purchase. Please consider subscribing to my store.

I will combine shipping, and I ship internationally. For grading, I use NM/EX/VG++/VG+, and I generally don't sell records that are VG or below unless they are of particular interest. I only sell records that I would be happy to own myself, the rest I donate to charity. I grade visually, but if there is any question I play grade. If needed, records are cleaned on a VPI record cleaner. If you have feedback of 5 or less, please email me before bidding. Payment is due within 5 days. Any questions, just ask!

Record condition: most sides are cosmetically NM or NM-, with nice gloss and obviously very little play. A few are EX or VG++. However, there are several isolated, small needle drags that cause light ticks, though usually for short durations. I'm guessing that the original owner only played the set a few times, but somewhat carelessly. The vast majority of this set plays beautifully. Out of 26 sides I found sounding marks on 9, though most of these are brief.

Sleeve condition: all sleeves are NM! Quite amazing.

Box condition: very nice, with normal shelf wear, corner wear, etc.; leather material is beginning to split on left edge.

I grade conservatively, so bid with confidence!
