Extremely rare stereo pressing of Rabin's famed Paganini Op.1. Box is NM/EX with no splits or marks or soiling inside/out, strong seam, clean lettering; only blemish at all is one small tear in the box edge on the outer edge, barely visible. Please see photos. Liner note NM, vinyl is ED1 rainbow/shield label, US pressing, NM. May well be unplayed; I cannot see any spindle marks. Hard to find the stereo of this set in any condition, let alone as nice as this.
Cleaned in a VPI and placed in to new sleeves, I will include the original Capitol paper sleeves. It's quite possible these LPs were never removed from them until I did so. Play tested, truly superb sound with no surface noise and only a very, very few extremely minor soft tics over the four sides, as is the norm for Capitol's first stereo pressings of the era; on par with the very best first generation Capitol stereos I have in my collection. 
Will be packed securely in an oversize box. Priority mail and insurance required due to value. Reasonable offers considered. I am a collector, not a dealer, and a lifelong vinyl enthusiast and musician.
