I am listing records that are all hopefully interesting to audiophiles and lovers of classical music, I could not find a few online so some may be rare. I have done my best to describe them and have spent the last three days preparing the auctions. I have not cleaned any of them so they may need a gentle dust off before playing. I have examined each wearing gloves and under bright light - when I had to I would play and listen to either a whole album or parts with a clean needle. I have included many images of each lot but if you have any questions or requests please just let me know. I will do what I can on my end to answer any questions. I can combine to some extent with shipping but I will want to pack them well. I understand that with records condition is everything so I will do everything I can to assure that they arrive as they are now. I will be able to send them out three to four days after the auctions end. If I can I will send them sooner but most likely it will be 4 days after. They will be sent with tracking and insurance and well packed. Thank you and good luck bidding!

This auction is for two records that belong together - they are original French radio transcriptions for North America and would have two programs on two records - this way the engineer could cue up program without having to turn the record over.I will be listing about 120 separate lots of these programs which are all from the French Broadcasting System In North America. They are all to some degree related to classical music with some programs containing avant-garde and experimental music. I believe these records were from programs dating from 1969 to 1972. I have about 250 records so if any of the record auctions are of interest please check back. These records were made in pairs so there would be two programs on two records. That way the radio station engineer could cue up the programs second half without having to interrupt the show by turning the record over. Many of these recordings are rare and obscure and I believe very few were pressed and even fewer surviving. I could find no reference online to many of them and I have just begun to go through them. Many performances were recording using various conductors and soloists at the Paris L'O.R.T.F. (The Office de Radiodiffusion -Télévision Française (ORTF) was the national agency charged, between 1964 and 1974, with providing public radio and television in France.) These records would be sent to participating radio stations with a paper transcript. Unfortunately I do not have these transcripts so I have had to carefully listen to the introductions to discern what the performances are - as well as referring to the labels. Each program has a short English language introduction before the piece is played and sometimes at the very end - each side of each record is 13 to 15+ minutes in length. The records are in their original simple white sleeve - they were not issued with traditional covers. For the most part the records are sharp and clean with very light signs of handling or wear - played perhaps 4-5 times. I cannot clean records so they may have light dust etc.. - you may have to gently wipe them off or clean them as you see fit. I visually inspect them carefully - and have , when needed listened to them using a clean needle. I believe they are in Very Good to Very Good plus or better condition and when there is a condition or sound issue I try to include that in the description. These records are not new and absolutely perfect. So please ask questions. I would like to have fun listing these because they are so rare but it will also be quite time consuming so I am unsure how long it will take to list all of them. Please feel free to ask any questions!

The French Broadcasting System In North America - GRC 11883 A & B. GRC 11884 A & B.
Processed by the Gotham Recording Corporation New York City, New York
33 1/3 RPM Long Playing

French Music and French Musicians Program No. 163 J.B. Lully
Jean-Baptiste Lully - Miserere performed by L'ORTF Chamber Orchestra and Choir conducted by Marcel Couraud

Side A has small ink date to one side of label from Air Date in 1970. Minor surface noise, may improve greatly because I have not cleaned them at all - light dust etc. - perhaps a slight pressing imperfection but looks and sounds great, light signs of sleeve extraction - again minor - Very Good+


French Music and French Musicians Program No. 164 Ernest Chausson / Maurice Ravel
Ernest Chausson - Poème, Op. 25 (Poème, for violin & orchestra, Op. 25) / L'O.R.T.F. Lyric Orchestra / Christian Ferras violin soloist / conducted by Jean-Claude Hartemann /
Maurice Ravel - Tzigane (violin and piano, 1924) Gypsy - same performers as Chausson L'O.R.T.F. Lyric Orchestra / Christian Ferras violin soloist / conducted by Jean-Claude Hartemann /

I see 2 small lines on side B center and at very end which may cause a light tic but listening to it it is fairly quiet. Records are not perfect but look like they were played perhaps a few times - literally 3-4 times. Minor surface noise, may improve greatly because I have not cleaned them at all - light dust etc. - perhaps a slight pressing imperfection but looks and sounds great, light signs of sleeve extraction - again minor - Very Good+
