   For sale is a double vinyl box set titled Chopin: The Nocturnes, featuring Artur Rubinstein on piano, originally released in 1967 by RCA Victor Records, but reissue between 1969-1971 for this listing, commonly called a "No Dog" pressing. This version has red labels on rigid, non-flexible vinyl, "RCA" on its side to the left of the center hole and "Red Seal" to the right of the center hole, without RCA's "Nipper" their trademark dog. In the dead wax between the labels and the last tracks is etched "I", indicating that this record was pressed at RCA's pressing plant located in Indianapolis, Indiana. These are hallmarks of state-of-the-art engineering, sought after by collectors and music lovers for their superior sound quality. I bought this box set used, put it into a record storage box where it was kept under optimum conditions for both temperature and humidity. The original inner sleeves are graded as Excellent with minor wrinkling and creasing. The cover of the box is graded as Very Good because of a tear in the middle of the box's top seam, another tear on the top right hand corner of the cover and color loss on the top of the spine that also has missing paper. The two vinyl disc are visually graded as Near Mint with shiny, prisine looking surfaces. This would be an excellent addition to anyone's collection. I have more Classical records, as well as albums of all different genres, listed in my Ebay store. Please take a look, They're predominately Near Mint. Thank you for looking at my listing.    I've been collecting records for about 50 years now and have always cleaned them and put them away carefully in plastic inner sleeves. Over the years I've used Dust Bugs, Disc Washers and have finally invested in a professional VPI record cleaning machine. Now that I'm retiring, I'm selling my very esoteric collection. I'm not a professional grader of records, but will use record guides, as well as my personal experiences as a basis of my grading all records. Since grading is subjective, I will be conservative. I offer discounts for multiple sales. Photos are of the actual item for sale, not a stock photo. Please review all descriptions and photos because I do not accept returns. Thank you for looking!
