BEAUTIFUL BOXED SET WITH RUSIN ICON AND WOODEN CHURCH MOTIFFS !
*** identical to the other set I offered but someone started nibbling on the ends of the box so the box is not in great condition. The cover and its art is also fine and dandy. It closes, and everything is fine and dandy with the records, looks like they were never listened to or else with kid gloves - has the sheet in fine shape but the box edges are flattened if you know what I mean***
FIVE RECORDS, BRAND NEW. GORGEOUS!
WITH ALL THE DEBATE ABOUT ENGLISH VERSIONS OF THE PLAIN CHANT LISTEN TO THE ORIGINAL AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF...
