PLEASE NOTE:

Even with minimal packaging this set will weigh just over 1.5 kg. This means that outside of Europe the cost for shipping is about $40 USD, and that is just for standard airmail. Certified airmail (with a tracking number) costs $43 USD.

 

Those in doubt can visit the Spanish postal website (Correos.com), which is available in English. Although this listing states “free” shipping, it is not really free, of course. I have to pay for shipping like everyone else.

 

Anyway, all this to say that those who feel the price is high need to take the cost of shipping into account, so please keep this in mind when making a “best offer”. If you have any questions or doubts, feel free to write and I will be happy to help. Thank you.

 

Included is a full-size, 8-page booklet with full a track listing and extensive liner notes by the eminent musicologist Deryck Cooke, provided in English and German. The striking cover photo of Krips on the box front is uncredited.

 

CONDITION:

The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.

 

The condition of the box is near-MINT. There is some minuscule wear at corners, hardly visible, but that is all. Otherwise, the box appears almost as new. There are no corner breaks, seamsplits, bends, owners’ markings, or other defects, and the whole remains solid, bright, and highly attractive – overall, an outstanding collector’s copy.

 

The condition of the full-size, 8-page booklet is near-MINT. No flaws to speak of.
