BEETHOVEN QUARTET NO. 8 from the 1st line up BUDAPEST STRING QUARTET on 1952 1st type COLUMBIA Blue/Silver Labels ML-4580. The group use a full set of Strads to this. To the rear I have left the times this has been played by the previous owner, when this came in with a large collection, which could be easily erased, but show why it is in such good condition. He played it 7 times, and I played it twice, both on a high end Ortofon modern mono stylus, and it played excellent to near mint. 1952 is right back there at the birth of the LP, so none of these play silently like a new lp, but this is an example that plays as well as any record from that era, 69 years back. Our ethos is to offer you best sounding analogue only pressings of vintage records. Here is another beauty of that type.  We offer massive postage subsidies to overseas buyers on multiple purchases. i.e £1 extra per lp to a maximum of £15, then no extra charge. We pack carefully in custom made hard card boxes. If the appearance or playgrade suggests it requires it, our records are cleaned on a wash and vac machine, using art du son fluid in distilled water.  This is already in a new heavy poly outer with antistatic inners added with outer sleeve and records all layered behind each other to prevent splits.
