JOSEPH KEILBERTH conducting Richard Wagner's Ring des Nibelungen, 19 LPs. This is the 1955 Bayreuth stereo set produced by DECCA, brought out for the first time by Testament in this set in 2006. If you are considering this, I imagine you already know about this production and its merits.
This is the complete set in four boxes. All contents are in twice-played condition, no scratches, etc. (I am the original owner, and have played them only on a weighted arm.) Each box has the expected shelf wear, but all are solid with no splits or anything. The box for Das Rheingold has a pinched spine (see pic) which did not touch the contents. All LPs are the heavy vinyl, all in original sleeves, and each box has its booklet.
I will ship USPS with insurance. There will be tracking, but, in the event of a lost box, I will insist that buyer go through the USPS process for locating packages and/or paying out claims.
Please see pics.
Thanks for looking.
