This item is not for sale. Gripsweat is an archive of past sales and auctions, none of the items are available for purchase.


Here’s a great copy of these two Shostakovich quartets, recorded in Russia, likely at the same time (1962?) that the other Mercury ‘first time in Russia’ sessions were recorded.


RFR-1 presses.


Vinyl flat, clean, and quiet; minimal surface noise. A small amount of light surface scratching that isn’t audible. Jacket intact.


I accept PayPal only and will ship domestically for $5.50 (postage went up). Thanks for looking!
