An AMAZING Sale! A Lot of 17 Vintage mid-70's Box-Sets, "Time-Life: Great Men of Music", 68 LPs in Total!!  Each Classical Music Set contains 4 LP Vinyl Stereo Records and Absolutely Wonderful, Insightful 24 Full Page Booklets about the Composers. Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn, Puccini, Sibelius, Beethoven, Debussy, Handel, Bach, Schubert, Haydn, Chopin, Verdi, Brahms, Bartok, Strauss, Stravinsky are the 17 composers. There are some Magnificent performers such as Van Cliburn performing Chopin, or Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony performing Petrushka by Stravinsky, Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony, and on and on...

Please go see my Photos, Enlarged if you can, as I delve into Condition:

Visually graded for the most part, almost all of the LPs appear to be in Excellent shape. However, Puccini's Tosca on Side 4,  Track 2  had a few what looked like factory irregularities to it, which resulted in some lite pops here and there when I played it; but I found it still quite listenable. The record sleeves are in Very Good shape, Not split, but with some lite general wear like occasional minor ripples. The one exception I found was the with the sleeve for Side 8 of Tchaikovsky, which had quite alot of age spotting on it. (See Photo 10).  To be safe I played much of that side and it played well.. The 24 Page Booklets are in Very Good shape, the one exception I found was for Debussy, which had a printer error on the cover, a spot on Debussy's face + some edge wear. (See Photo 15). The exterior cases are Solid and Clean, Very Good shape with various Lite edge/use wear, a ripple on the front of Stravinsky's Case (See Photo 7), lite fading sometimes like on the gold lettering; these is an edge gouge on Chopin's Case (See Photo 13).

CAREFULLY Box-shipped via USPS Media Mail from North of Seattle. I am calculating 49 pounds as the total weight, so for the sake of the Safety of these records (and so that Grumpy Postmen and ladies don't just angry at the weight that they have to lift up, and treat these Poorly) I will be shipping these in 2 Separate Boxes, dividing up the weight. I am sorry for the shipping price, but Media Mail is the cheapest way to go!

Thank You!
