CLASSICAL JOBLOT / COLLECTION OF 21 LP BOX SETS - ALL PICTURED FROM ORCHESTRAL, OPERA TO BAROQUE.

 ### POSTAGE IS TO UK ONLY ###  OR CAN BE COLLECTED FROM DL15 COUNTY DURHAM AREA.

I HAVE INCLUDED PHOTOS OF THE FIRST VINYL FROM THE FIRST 4 BOX SETS PICTURED.

CONDITION OF THE BOXES AVERAGES VERY GOOD TO NEAR MINT, SOME LIGHT WEAR TO A FEW BUT NOTHING SERIOUS AND ALL ARE VERY PRESENTABLE - A FEW HAVE NAMES WRITTEN ON THE INSIDE CORNER OF THE BOX LID.

BOOKLETS WITH THE BOX SETS ARE MOSTLY EXCELLENT OR BETTER.

ALL ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVES ARE EXCELLENT OR BETTER.

VINYLS ARE EXC PLUS TO NEAR MINT - THERE WERE 32 BOX SETS BUT I HAVE DISCARDED THE ONES THAT WERE BELOW EXC PLUS.

THEY WERE MY FATHERS AND HE WAS VERY PROTECTIVE CONCERNING HIS COLLECTION AND REALLY LOOKED AFTER THEM.

A REALLY SUPERB SET OF VINYLS THAT HAVE BEEN PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED, VISUALLY AND AUDIBLY PLAY GRADED. 

GREAT VALUE AT AROUND £3 PER BOX SET PLUS P&P.

THANKS FOR LOOKING

Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:   " The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.  The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.  The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.  The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.  The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.  The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.  The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
