Unfortunately with these two sides on 12", the Allegro isn't complet; not enough space on the record!
Condition: 2, small needle run, cause some clicks / 1-2, one little edge flake, not in grooves. Both sides have a light crackle ( from press material or recording in "medium quality" ).
Anyway these are unique copies !

Turbo Lister treats me as American, so the shippingprice of $ 3.99 isn't correct!
About me :
Since 1966 I collected 78 rpm records, principally classical pianists. I was looking in many, many second-hand and charitiy-chops, collectors fair, fleamarkets and so on in France, Germany, Austria , Italy and of course in Switzerland. I had always a good contact with others collectors in Great Britain and in the States. Since 1970 I was for a long time member of the City of London Phonograph and Gramophone Society, from 1985 member of the Schellack-Schallplatten-Sammler-Verein, Vienna and from 1990 until today member of the International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives IASA, section DE/CH. I’m not a « really » record collector, more an admirer of the pianists and a music lover. If you have any problem about 78 rpm records or a want list ( I never found any record of Grieg ( except the Historic HMV ), Ilona Eibenschütz, Alexander Michalowski and the legendary Pathé of Bernhard Stavenhagen ) please inform me.
