Music From Historic Houses Of Britain Hengrave Hall / Chiswick House BBC
I will be listing a huge collection of records (Lp's, 45's and 78's) over the next several months. Records came from a large university library. Please save me as a favorite seller and check back often . Lots of Rare hard to find records in amazing shape, including transcription disc's. All kinds of different artists and genres, Some even sealed. I do not have the equipment to play them so the records are graded visually. Thanks for looking !
