I'm selling a large collection of classical and opera vinyl records - I estimate that there are probably some 500 LPs in total, but I've not counted. The vast majority of them are from premium record labels - Decca, HMV and Deutsche Grammophon are the most common, as well as Phillips and Columbia. There are plenty of desirable wideband SXLs / SETs, Tulip labels, some White Angel SANs etc. though no blue/silver SAX pressings. Most are stereo, though there are some older mono recordings, some of which were never issued as stereo.

The vast majority of the records are in EX condition, though there are some that fall below. There's a handful of wooden dowel spined French issue Columbia records, sadly these are VG at best, but they seemed too nice to throw away! Sleeves and boxes are, on the whole, very clean, but some are showing their age (especially the very earliest boxes). None are damp / mouldy, but a few do have a certain fustiness.
Please see the photos for details of what's included. I'm happy to answer question or check condition of any items in particular that you're interested in but I can't provide a complete breakdown of absolutely everything. Inspection in person can be arranged too if you like.

The records are located in Cambridge, and due to bulk/weight are strictly for collection only. If you wish to have a courier collect on your behalf you're welcome to arrange it, but they'll need to pack the records too as I don't have any suitable boxes.
Any questions, please ask.
