33 RPM Classical LP Set JANOS STARKER Bach: Unacc. Cello Suites MERCURY SR3-9016

During the past year, we were blessed to acquire (2) world class LP & 78 RPM 

record 

This lifelong collection of records was assembled by a discriminating, condition only, audiophile collector.  While, I can not play test these LPs because I do not own a turntable, I am happy to report that the vast majority of these albums remain in immaculate to near immaculate EX to NM condition—for the most part, clean shiny vinyl with little to no visual evidence of playware or scratching present, in near pristine jackets.

Please see the many excellent feedbacks that we have received from the records from this huge estate collection! 

Understanding that many LP record collectors do not use liquid cleaners, I have not cleaned any of these discs with any liquid cleaners or anything else for that matter.  Some were simply wiped will a dry micro fiber cloth.  Hence, some records will show some minor prints, dust & surface soiling.  We’ll allow the new owner to clean as they see fit.

33 RPM Classical LP Set JANOS STARKER Bach: Unaccompanied Cello Suites MERCURY SR3-9016

Very Rare Triple LP Box Set On Mercury Stereo Living Presence Label - Complete With Original Booklet 

Matrix numbers "RFR3/RFR1/RFR2/RFR2/RFR2/RFR2" indicate the set to be the original deep groove plum label first pressing.

This album set emerged from the estate with the top cover separated from the bottom box, insert & 3 LP records.

The box bottom, booklet insert & all (3) LPs remain in exceedingly well cared for (excellent) condition.  These were all found in the music library of the home with the box top cover of a different box set.  In summation, the booklet & all (6) sides of the vinyl remain in as excellent in condition as you could possibly hope for - not being Mint in Shrink.

(4) sides remain in visually NM condition without scratches, hairlines, flaws or other signs of wear & play.  There are are few (2 or 3) tiny wispy paper scuffs present (on 2 sides only) which do not intrude into the vinyl grooves at all and all (6) sides were extremely well scrutinized with a 5X loupe.   

Please examine the spindle holes which also look pristine on all sides as well!!  Looks like this LP set was never played at all or even handled!!!

The box top is a totally different story.  It was separated from the rest and found in the basement in a box of sheet music and lived a far less pampered life.  It has all the flaws you see which include:  damp stain to about 1/7th at the right edge, (2) corner splits (which were properly repaired with archival ph neutral PVA adhesive) and 2" piece of scotch tape at the top.  Cover would grade G+, at best. 

The worst of these cover flaws are well shown in the final (4) detail images. 

However, with some time & diligence, you just might find a well conditioned empty box top cover to complete your exceedingly well conditioned innards (the most important part).  You would then have an ultra rare complete set - in as well conditioned shape as you could possibly hope for.  

Please well examine the numerous detail images & feel free to email if you have any questions.      

If you are not pleased with the condition of this record set, we will happily refund your purchase price (and pay for shipping one way) without quibble.

This is the one you were looking for! 

Please also see the other exceedingly well preserved 45, 33 & 78 sides that we are also listing on eBay at this time.  Buy a group and save on shipping!

Probably the first time in 20 or 40 years that most of the vinyl from this estate collection has even seen the light of day!! 

 And please email if you have any additional questions. 

All records are securely triple flat board shipped with the vinyl removed from the jacket, so they arrive to you in excellent shape. 

Buyer to prepay $4 s/h plus $1 more for each additional record that you buy.  Best of Luck!
