Franklin Mint 100 Greatest Recordings Of All Time ~ Near Complete 85 Records

For your consideration is an almost complete set of the Franklin Mint 100 Greatest Recordings of all time.  This set was acquired from an estate and most of the records looks as though they were never played or handled.  All of them are in excellent condition.  A few of the boxes have been beat up at the corners, it has not affected the records or booklets inside.  I have included pictures to show the condition of those boxes. 

You will receive 85 records of this 100 record set.  You will also recieve a cross reference to all 100 albums that was included in this set when you were close to purchasing the entire collection.  I have photograped it as well so that you can see the music included.

The records missing from this set are: 78 (which was boxed with 77, 77 is present), 79 (which was boxed with 80, 80 is present), 85 & 86 are missing, and 90 - 100 are missing.

 'The 100 Greatest Recordings of all time' from the Franklin Mint has been called the ultimate private library of fine recorded music. Every recording was selected by a distinguished panel of music authorities (Martin Bookspan, Schuyler G. Chapin, Franco Ferrara, Irving Kolodin, William Mann, R. Gallois Montbrun, Marcel Prawy, Andre Previn, William Schuman and H. H. Stuckenschmidt).*

The library was first announced on the 100th anniversary of Thomas Edison's invention of the phonograph. Each recorded treasure was pressed with a special vinyl formulation that enabled a clear, quiet playing surface on a more rigid LP disk. Every record was pressed in an atmosphere controlled "clean room."

 Each library case houses two proof-quality long playing records, with each record resting, fully protected, within its own dust free compartment. The record is firmly supported within the closed compartment in such a way that the grooved playing surface never touches any part of the case. Each library case includes a specially written and illustrated commentary, by a respected music expert. The composers and their works are discussed in detail, and background information is provided on the orchestras, conductors, ensembles, and featured soloists.

This is a truly unsurpassed private library of recorded music. If you are a lover of vinyl and music, you won't find a more impressive collection.  This collection can be purchased for your own enjoyment and education or for the enjoyment of your community around you. If you love classical music, or feel you could if properly exposed to it, this is your purchase.
