2LP set: MAN’S EARLY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS (Tribal/World)

This week I am listing several LPs. They are all used, but in the main in excellent condition. I haven't had time to play them all through, so the grading is mainly based on visual inspection, except where an obvious mark is present, in which case I have played that part to check it out. Except where otherwise noted, the grading is EX. In many cases they look NM (near mint) but as they have been played I would not use that description. Therefore assume that some slight surface noise is possible, but (unless stated) no major imperfections. The outer sleeves may also be assumed to be EX unless I mention flaws. I have kept descriptions to a minimum to allow me to list them all (this is not my day job!), but if you want to know anything more please feel free to send a query and I will endeavour to respond same day.

FOR UK ADDRESSES, postage will be £4.00, which includes safe, custom mailers with added stiffening where necessary.

OVERSEAS BIDDERS: I will ship internationally, but SHIPPING COSTS WILL BE EXTRA (standard air mail rate) and are NON-NEGOTIABLE:
to EUROPEAN UNION countries = GBP 6.50
to the REST OF EUROPE (non-EU countries), AFRICA, AMERICA, ASIA, AUSTRALIA = GBP 10.50.
Sorry, but items for RUSSIA will only be sent by a Signed-For service at an additional cost of GBP 5.00.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Items selling for more than £30 will only be sent with additional insurance. Within the UK, this means Special Delivery, and for overseas, an International Signed For service, as appropriate to your country (different services apply to different countries). This will be charged for at cost, and if your winning bid is over £30, you should wait for my invoice before paying.

For MULTIPLE AUCTION WINS, a discount for combined postage might be available – please wait for my invoice before paying.

Two LP boxed set. The box is a little worn (split at top), but the records are pristine, looking as though they have hardly, if ever, been played. There is a card enclosed saying that a “booklet with authoritative material” was available, but sadly this is not with it. (However, I do know that Smithsonian/Folkways have archive copies of all the booklets that typically accompanied these old Folkways releases, so a copy might be gotten from them for a small copying fee.)

See also my other tribal/world collection, ‘Music of Primitive Man’, auctioning now.

Payment must be made within 3 days of auction end. No timewasters please! (That is, do not bid if you do not intend to pay!)
