These records are from my collection of more than 20,000 classical music LPs, acquired since the early 1960s. All the records have been catalogued, carefully graded and stored on shelves. I am very fussy about condition and my records are either Ex+ or NM and come with a full guarantee.

 

Audiophile sound in this justly famous 1960s cycle of the complete Sibelius symphonies. All 5 LPs are early pressings.
