Up for grabs is a lot of Mercury Living Presence albums that I picked up randomly over the years. I collected shaded & white dogs, Mercury colorbacks, and London BlueBacks early in my collecting years. I am letting these go as a group. The one Szigeti album is nearly worth my initial asking price alone. The rest is just a bonus!

This lot is in average condition. They are not NM archival-quality copies. They are almost all crate finds and have some flaws. They all came from probably 8-9 different digs. I have only listened to around half of them. They've been on my shelf for a bit over 10 years and it's time to thin out the collection. See below for list of titles and notes. Please contact me if you have any questions.
I can upload a video of the main album playing if you like.
