This is a Columbia (USA) 7x 78 RPM Shellac Boxset Of South Pacific composed by Rodgers & Hammerstein. The real first release of this classic show on record. It has all seven amazing condition shellac records inside and other than slight damage to the box is in great condition. South Pacific originally debuted at the Majestic Theatre on Broadway in New York on 7th April 1949. Incredibly the owner of the boxset was lucky enough to attend a very early performance of the show on 30th May 1949. Included with this listing is the original playbill and even rarer ticket stub for the performance. Also some paper / magazine cuttings for the show. This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a real piece of history for one of the most famous Stage shows ever! This boxset weighs over 2kg so unfortunately we can only offer this to our UK customers as overseas postage would be far too expensive.
Released by: Columbia (USA) Catalogue Number: MM 850 Year of release: 1949
Condition: Vinyl - EX (Considering these are are over 70 years old they are in amazing condition) Sleeve - VG (Box hinge works great. Just damage to the bottom edge - see pics)
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS IMPORTANT NOTE ON GRADING:
We use the Record Collector grading system which grades records from Mint to Poor. We always aim to grade conservatively and fairly. However, we recognise that grading can be subjective and one man's EX can be another man's Good, so please contact us if you would like to clarify any issues with condition. Please note that (unlike other sellers) we will only grade records as Mint or Near Mint if we can be certain that they have never been played. If they have been used, then our highest grading will be EX. If you are looking for a mint copy then please remember that records graded as VG or Good will have signs of use and/or marks on them, and will probably have some surface noise. We don't want to cause any disappointment, but we have found that some buyers have unrealistic expectations of records graded as VG or below. If you are unsure on any of this then please contact us, and we will be happy to give you as much information on the condition of this record as you require.
78s are notoriously fragile, so we pack these very carefully. Each 78 is covered in bubblewrap, placed between 2 12" cardboard stiffeners and then sent in an oversized custom LP mailer. The extra packaging means that we have charge slightly higher postage prices for 78s, but rest assured that we aim to ensure that your 78 reaches you fully intact.
Due to the fragility of 78s, we can only send these to UK addresses. If you are outside the UK and want to buy this then please contact us first to discuss your options.
We will discount postage for bulk purchases. If you buy more than 1 item from us then please wait until you have received a combined invoice from us before paying, as Ebay will not apply the discount automatically.
Payment must be made by Paypal within 7 days of the purchase date, otherwise your order will be cancelled.
