Let me first start this listing by saying that this week I am offering up a collection of some of the best classical records I've ever seen.....most came from one collector, who bought them all new & played them either with extreme care or hardly at all......most records from this collection are in near pristine condition, the only flaw on quite a few of them being that he wrote the date of purchase in pen on the back cover.  Please be sure to check my other auctions, some of these records rarely come up in this fine condition.


On the Mercury label, catalog #SR-90405, deep groove, stereo pressing.   Janos Starker, cellist.   Gyorgy Sebok, pianist.  See photos for full program.  RFR-1 / RFR-7 in trail off wax. 


Cover is VG-, with blacked out library stickers & a cover tear in upper left corner, corner/seam wear, corner dent in upper right, rub/ring wear, and some marker on back cover as well.....see photos.   Vinyl looks VG, with numerous light paper scuffs & some light marks, plays really well, with some light & sporadic background noise, never overpowering, and never repeated clicks....no skips.   Vinyl has been cleaned on a VPI.


All records are visually graded.....I do not have time to play grade all the records I sell.   If I see something that looks as though it will affect play, I will play grade it, and will note that in description of vinyl.  


Both ITALY & FRANCE customers must pay REGISTERED AIRMAIL shipping, regardless of the final value of the item(s)......no EXCEPTIONS!   Shipping prices are quoted below.   Also, I do not accept bids from those of you with zero feedback.  Sorry, no exceptions.  Thanks in advance for your understanding.  As always, I will not end auctions early, please don't even bother to ask.

 cannot be held responsible for any damages that occur during shipping.   I pack my items in dedicated record mailers, with cardboard inserts on BOTH sides of record, with the record outside of cover to prevent seam splits.   I've been shipping records in this fashion for over ten years now.....I know what I'm doing.   Please inquire about insurance, as that is the only way to protect yourself from damage caused by the post office.

Quick note to future buyers:   if you have a question, please ask it BEFORE you buy the record, don't assume details without confirming with me, it will save us both the headaches.  

ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS, PLEASE NOTE ANOTHER NEW POLICY:   any item or combination of items that goes for over $100.00 must ship with registered mail, at an additional cost of $13.00.   THIS IS REQUIRED, I'VE HAD A COUPLE EXPENSIVE RECORDS DISAPPEAR THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN, to countries that I wouldn't expect to lose something to.   I cannot be held responsible for items that are lost in the mail.  

All records are original pressings unless noted......I do not sell current reissues.  Please ask any questions early, as i am not always by my computer near the end of auctions.    Buyer pays shipping, see rates below.   All records are shipped in dedicated record mailers, with record shipped outside of cover when applicable, with two cardboard inserts.   Paypal is the only accepted form of payment at this time.

Shipping is as follows:   media mail domestic is $4.00, including tracking.   Priority shipping within the US is $8.00, including delivery confirmation.   First class airmail shipping to CANADA is $13.00.   first class airmail shipping to MOST OF EUROPE, JAPAN & AUSTRALIA is $20.00.   Registered airmail shipping is $33.00 worldwide, and is required on all shipments to both ITALY and FRANCE, and after package value reaches $100.00 or more.   I DO NOT SHIP to SOUTH AMERICA, MEXICO, or ISRAEL at this time, NO EXCEPTIONS.   I will gladly combine items to save on shipping, I try not to make ANY money on shipping costs, I typically lose money honestly.   Payment is required within 7 days of auction end.   Thanks for looking, and good luck.
